President and COO of Nintendo of America (and fan friendly) Reggie Fils-Aime released the following statement this morning regarding the sudden loss of Nintendo President Satoru Iwata:
“Mr. Iwata is gone, but it will be years before his impact on both Nintendo and the full video game industry will be fully appreciated. He was a strong leader for our company, and his attributes were clear to most everyone: Intelligence, creativity, curiosity and sense of humor. But for those of us fortunate enough to work closely with him, what will be remembered most were his mentorship and, especially, his friendship. He was a wonderful man. He always challenged us to push forward…to try the new…to upset paradigms—and most of all, to engage, excite and endear our fans. That work will continue uninterrupted.”
We at The Hidden Triforce are very saddened by this loss and we’re asking our fans to leave a memory in the comment section below.
