Satoru Iwata, now former president of Nintendo, passed away yesterday. Nintendo claims he died from a 'bile duct growth.' Among other things, he was of course famous for overseeing the Nintendo Direct presentations and would often display hardware and software with Shigeru Miyamoto. Prayers and best wishes to his family and close friends.

'Please Understand.'
--Satoru Iwata, 6 December, 1959-11 July, 2015

I know Kotaku may be worse than IGN, but they're still a reliable source.
