Nintendo Co., Ltd. deeply regrets to announce that President Satoru Iwata passed away on July 11, 2015 due to a bile duct growth.
Not just an executive, he was one of the early NES developers as well.

Actually, I should probably be a bit more, respectful I guess. In all seriousness though, I wonder who is going to be the next CEO.
