Having seen the news break on Twitter and now read many of the tributes to the great man it seems like words can't really do justice to what Satoru Iwata meant to everyone (and not just gamers).
What really comes through from the tributes and quotes is the fact that the man was a gamer foremost and corporate president last.
His sense of fun runs through the core of everything Nintendo does and will do forever more.
In honour of this wonderful man I have scoured the internet for the best fan art tributes and articles that really give you a sense of how much Iwata San will be missed.....
