Not your usual game over


This photo from the web pretty much sums up the feelings of gamers all over the world.

The president of Nintendo - Satoru Iwata - passed away, leaving a colorful legacy and generations of people who grew up playing his games.

I'm one of those people - playing Super Mario on our Nintendo Family Computer as kids, collecting Pokemon when I wasn't a kid anymore, and continuing to play both games even as an adult.

While it may be "game over" for him, his memory will be like the "up, down, up, down, left, right, left, right, A, B, A, B" trick we'd do on the family computer. It will have an infinite life.
