Good programmer and friend, terrible president and leader. Every franchise under his tenure became casualized garbage and stagnated hard.

All of these became significally worse than Iwata was president. Yamauchi stepped down in June 2002, but majority of games released in 2003-2004 were already announced and in development by then.
