Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata passes away at age 55

It's with a heavy heart that we have to announce the passing of Satoru Iwata who passed from bile duct growth today according to a statement from Nintendo.  Mr. Iwata was only 55 at the time of his passing which is just way too young.

This is a sad day for the industry as Mr. Iwata was one of the few gaming CEO's who was a huge gamer as well as a former developer.
