R.I.P. Iwata-sachou of Nintendo

You would call him Iwata-sachou (president)

Do you mean shachou? Or does sachou also mean the same thing?

Ah ok. I wasn't sure, as I've only done one year of beginner's Japanese as an extra module at uni.

Getting back to the topic, Iwata's death hit me harder than I thought it would. Yes, tears were shed. He just seemed like such a genuinely nice person, through both his actions and disposition.
