Nintendo this evening announced that President Satoru Iwata has passed away. The sad and shocking news was announced by the company a short time ago via their official corporate site.

Genyo Takeda and Shigeru Miyamoto will continue to serve as the company’s Representative Directors and Senior Managing Directors at this time.
