Here is the official statement from Nintendo. He will be deeply missed.

Iwata wasn't just the President of Nintendo, he was also a programer, he got earthbound off the ground and helped debug smash so it could meet the deadline. The guy even took a pay cut rather than fire anyone when Nintendo didn't make fiscal projections.
We lost someone amazing.
...And I still can't bring myself to believe it. I think I'll just go play some video games.

With all of these amazing people leaving this world, I can't help but wonder if GRRM is involved.
Jokes aside, Iwata was pretty swole, and was very important in the gaming industry's development, especially in Japan. Unfortunate that he had to leave so soon, but thankfully he had shared his talent with the world, and shown how awesome he was, before the end.
