cimerians Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 This is posted in the Current Events "Bearer of Bad News.." thread but figured I post this here just for the sake of mentioning it in the Nintendo Wii forum. As much as I'm an Atari fan first and foremost in the 80's I did play the crap out of the NES although begrudgingly at first. So RIP Iwata-san and to the good times and for the work at bringing Japanese video games across the sea for us to play. http://kotaku.com/nintendos-president-has-passed-away-1717386412 ed: Wonder if Ninty will change anything up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 RIP Mr. Iwata. Despite the issues Nintendo has been experiencing lately, I always liked the guy. He seemed like a warm/welcoming presence in the company. He will be missed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Algus Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 I'm sure he didn't always make the stockholders happy but for me Satoru Iwata oversaw Nintendo's transition from fascist global powerhouse to a smaller market hobby company that was focused on putting out fun games. I liked Nintendo so much more once they'd washed their hands of the Playstation/Xbox rat race. Since mid-to-late Gamecube era they have focused on putting out some really fun and unique games. When Iwata was still working as a developer he had a hand in some of my favorite Nintendo games: Earthbound, Pokemons, etc. I just hope the company can continue to carry on in the direction Iwata was leading the company.
