The recent passing of Nintendo President and CEO Satoru Iwata has brought plenty of sadness to the video game world, but it's also resulted in an outpouring of love for the infectiously joyous Nintendo boss. He clearly had a tremendous impact on members of the video game community, and the wide variety of touching tributes highlights that fact.
Many of those tributes come in the form of fan art from talented artists. The following gallery displays some of that artwork accompanied by the appropriate credits. I'm sure I missed plenty of wonderful pieces, so feel free to share your favorite images in the comments below.
