Today is a very sad day for video game industry and all gamers around the world…
I was just arrived at my office this morning when in my Twitter feed I saw news of 岩田聡 (Satoru Iwata), the current President of Nintendo has passed away. At first I thought it was a joke. I mean, even though he was hospitalized and absent from the last two E3, he is only 55 years old, right? Then I saw the official press release from Nintendo and tears started to rolling down my eyes. I used to think it was silly shedding tears for a celebrity or someone who we did not know personally, but now I know that feeling. This is the first time I was really shocked and saddened of a death of someone I have never met :'(
