It is such a shame he has passed away.

I do have absolute 100% respect for Nintendo as they are keeping all social media quiet as a sign of respect

Agreed.

I'm gutted, he was one of my heroes. I loved watching Nintendo Direct with him, he seemed like a really nice person.

Sad to hear. I grew up with the SNES, and whilst I may have defected to Sony and Microsoft Nintendo will always hold a special place for me

the fact that even Nintendo competitors came out to pay respects speaks volumes about the man
