Reggie comments on Iwata’s passing
We’ve seen various comments and reactions pour in regarding Nintendo president Satoru Iwata’s passing. Reggie Fils-Aime, president of Nintendo of America, has now issued a statement as well.
Here’s what he shared:
“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.”
