Description

If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be here. We wouldn't be here.
His reach was greater than you would believe.
Now we must help him reach his final goal.

Farewell, Mr. Iwata.


Of course, I am sure many of us have all heard the news now, but allow me to reiterate it for the sake of memory and record.
Yesterday, about July 12th, 2015 (Japan Time), Mr. Satoru Iwata CEO of Nintendo passed away due to a bile duct growth-- a cancer.

I couldn't believe it myself, and heard of it over a stream and considered it a joke until I saw the news all over Tumblr. And like many, while we have not met this man in-person, it does feel like we have just lost some important figure in our lives. Even if you are not a Nintendo fan, I'd ask if you have somehow came along this post to mayhaps consider a brief moment of silence for this unfortunate time.

With that, I have wondered how much this would affect our dear characters in the video game world, to see a strong figure-- practically their leader-- gone. I had intended a comic, various ideas and scenarios came about, but I decided with the current art block and moment of tearing that I had, a simple picture would have to suffice.

Sorry it isn't colored, I couldn't stay too long on it to continue that far. But basically, we've got Kirby, Ness, and Toon Link-- three of much many individuals who were affected by Iwata's actions-- finishing off a public ceremony where they release a tiny boat in memory of the said passed.

And before anyone decides to get too roughed up by the sudden overflow of mourning the Internet has to express, I'll just end my chit there, and simply hope and encourage the best for the future of Nintendo and possibly gaming as a whole.

Thank you, Mr. Iwata for everything you have done for Nintendo and for us fans.
