Which era was the best for Nintendo?

I know it's tempting to say Iwata but I think Hiroshi really did more overall for Nintendo not to mention he picked Iwata.

>>712603592 (OP)
Hideki Tojo

>>712603592 (OP)
Why do they all look like merciless thugs except Iwata

Yamauchi and it's not close

>>712603592 (OP)
Why are they all Japanese? Nintendo is an American company.

>>712603719
Nintendo was a Yakuza front company at one point

>>712603592 (OP)
Hiroshi and Iwata are basically 100% responsible for Nintendo becoming as successful as it did.

god tier: Hiroshi

great tier: Iwata

LITERALLY WHOMST: everyone else

>>712603592 (OP)
He should have stayed on

>>712603719

>>712603592 (OP)
Yamauchi gets my pick.
>recognized the playing card industry was limited
>veered the company into other businesses, including toys
>marketed Gunpei Yokoi's Ultrahand into a big hit that saved the company
>hired Miyamoto as a favor to his father, who was a good friend of his
>etc

>>712603592 (OP)
>Iwata would still most likely be alive and CEO to this day if he didn't get ass cancer.
It's crazy that I miss him a whole decade later.

>>712603592 (OP)
Yamauchi for sure, nearly all of their franchises received their best installments under him.
Respect to Iwata for the wii and how he handled wii u flopping though, he was real for that.

>>712603592 (OP)
kaneda's guilty of war crimes to be sure

>>712603592 (OP)
>53 years of working as CEO
Hiroshi literally made Nintendo what it is today.

>>712603592 (OP)
Yamauchi lost partnership with Square

>>712603592 (OP)
Yamauchi. The last title his name is on is literally proof that the moment he left was when Nintendo turned to shit.

>Yakuza boss
>Veteran yakuza
>Elderly CEO
>Game developer

>Accountant yakuza

The last two are literally scowling

i fucking love the memes around Kimishima saving Nintendo with Tits and Ass

>>712603592 (OP)
1.- Yamauchi built Nintendo as a videogame powerhouse along with Miyamoto. Despite the N64 and the Gamecube he belongs in the first place.
2.- Furukawa brought stability to the company. The switch and switch 2 are the best selling consoles in recent history. Also he decentralized the software development into different teams. He fixed both hardware and software production issues.
3.- Iwata is responsible for great feats and failures. He took the risk with the DS and it worked and that is the corner stone of the recent success. However the Wii despite selling well brought issues that almost bankrupted the company IDC about hurr durr but le cash. Also Miyamoto had a lot of saying in the software and hardware development and that brought the 3DS and Wii U era which was terrible for both ends. The IPs were stagnated and the systems didn't sold well. The 3DS needed a price cut to be rescued. So I'll place him third because the did the same amount of good and harm.
4.- Kimishima did a proper transition and understood that they were old men out of touch. Shiggy is now some sort of ambassador IDK. But his period was rather short.

>>712604523
It worked.

>>712604661
Wii/DS was Yamauchi who also brought in Reggie because he knew Iwata didn't have the charisma.

>>712604661
>Wii despite selling well brought issues that almost bankrupted the company
Yeah, Nintendo totally almost went 3rd party under Iwata
Fucking retard
>>712604769
Yamauchi was vocally against DS and needed to be conviced, and had nothing to do with wii

>>712604871
>Yamauchi was vocally against DS and needed to be conviced, and had nothing to do with wii

I mean I don't get why you would even want to lie about this, what are you defending exactly? Iwata? Iwata was almost the death of Wii, the fucking retard kept trying to turn it into a boomer health machine.

everything good nintendo series came during the green era

>>712603829
This is it. We saw the rise and fall right afterwards and everything right now is just taking turns sacrificing brands for nostalgia baiting

>>712603592 (OP)
Why was Iwata's reign so short???

>>712605021
It worked though. My mom keeps hogging my wii fit board so I just gave it to her and bought a second one

>>712606189
He's dead you nigger

>>712606232
>It worked though.
I know! It's why they had to ice him.

>>712606323
I actually enjoyed playing wii sports with my mom though so I'm not mad at him
It still has the best version of onichanbara in terms of controls also.
They did black magic because the game is more responsive than the other games

>>712603592 (OP)
I'm pretty sure the second guy committed countless war crimes in Korea and China...

>>712606475
Yeah I just loved watching all the boomers who made fun of me and my nintendo products prior now buying them before me, really made me think videogames were stepping in the right direction.

>They did black magic because the game is more responsive than the other games
It's literally a TV remote. They even marketed it like one so that boomers would catch on.

God I hate wii nostalgia so much. Wii babies need to stop have opinions on video games.

>>712606475
WiiU also had best versions of games that were ported to it, including fucking deus ex.
Dude really knew how to work with 3rd party and get good deals, while not being afraid to refuse EA and their origins shit even when nintendo was in bad situation.

>>712606232
>My mom
>so I just gave it to her

Yeah I bet you gave it to her...

>>712603719
Iwata was a game developer

>>712603592 (OP)
Yamauchi for first party, Iwata for GCN era and antidlc, pro ownership. Iwata best president but his flaw was neglecting harddcore fans while appealing to casuals, when he should have appealed to both simultaneously. Yamauchi shit on third parties but a lot of epic stuff that was first party happened under him. Kimishima was in favor of fanservice, but he brought us DLC. Furukawa is the most anti consumer president, even the Yamauchis and Kaneda were not as openly greedy. Best president ever could have Yokoi if he didn't get fucked over and over again. He was visionary and should have lead Nintendo starting in the late nineties.

Yamauchi seemed like a real one. Didn't even like video games but didn't seem like he had his head up his ass.
Kaneda had some aggressive strategies though.

>>712610259
Where the gabagool at?

>>712603592 (OP)
A mix of Yamauchi and Iwata
1994-2008 I'd say was the golden era of absolute kino for Nintendo

>>712603592 (OP)
Why did Kimishima resign?

>>712611785
He didn't really, he was just a stand in until they got another guy

>>712611885
That's a shame, his time was short but I thought he handled those three years extremely well

>>712603592 (OP)
I really like how furukawa looks

>>712606734
No I mean a lot of wii games have shit controls but that one had amazing controls for being an action game where you actually have to time your attacks as a game mechanic

>>712612284
Furukawa looks like the fat Asian nerd kid from any North American high school.

>>712612617
this pleases me

>>712607028
Post the full version you coward.

>>712603592 (OP)
the yamauchi and iwata eras had some good games. the rate of good games slowed down after that

>>712604059
It wasn't ass cancer anon.
It was pancreas? Or something.
Still really bad though.
I think he did really well frankly, though I'm not sure if he'd go so high tech for the switch, I think otherwise things would have played out quite similar.

I respect Iwata the most for his dedication to trying weird new shit, even if I didn't care for most of it

>>712612895
Iirc it was his bile duct, from what I remember.

Either way, still a pretty shitty way to go.

>>712610628
>>712604523
I really do hope one day Furukawa gets that stick out of his arse and shows up in the directs, even if its just a brief amount of time.

>>712605021
You fags need to get the fuck over it.
The Wii had games for literally type of gamer out there.

Yamauchi after his divorce from the Yakuza

>>712607113
What did he develop?

Because he was the only one in the company with actual plans how to save it after gamecube disaster?

>>712618427
HA!

>>712618427
>console with best games out of the modern consoles = disaster
>doghsit like wii etc = Nintendo is saved
Are you fucking kidding? He buried nintendo. nintendo is only working on inertia right now, its fucking dead. they re actually making money BECAUSE of the esteem they got from the gamecube era. without the gamecube no one would bother with the fuckin wii. the moms that buy wii sports and not loyal consumers.

and now they just make girls games like animall crossing and shitty gay zelda ? How long wil lthat last ? nintendo is fucking dead and iwata buried it.
he couldnt handle the tgransition (boomer ->millenials and now ->zoomers) they werent tight enoguh with their hiring and philosophy and learning. they didnt zoomers and lotsa millenials were retarded and needed more guidance

>>712618427
What was his plan?

>>712618197
He certainly did understand the programming and development side.

>>712618795
>best games
As if that mattered when sales were in the toilet compared to PS2. During that time it felt like Pokemon was the only thing keeping Nintendo afloat. I loved my GameCube but everyone else had a PS2, it was no contest. Sure the Wii was casual shit, but it made Nintendo richer than astronauts. That and the similarly underpowered and casual DS, of course.

>>712618795
>they re actually making money BECAUSE of the esteem they got from the gamecube era.
Nah, no one gives a shit about GC era games.

Yamauchi without even a vague doubt, abandoned by his father as an infant to becoming the richest man in Japan, Became president so young no one respected him but turned Nintendo from a minor card maker in bombed-out Japan to a company that defined its industry. Oversaw all meaningful developments of the company

>>712603592 (OP)

Pick your poison

>>712625787
Well technically, all their games from 2003 and 2004 were greenlit by Yamauchi before he retired. Star Fox Assautl was his last game.

>>712625652
>Iwata's nintendo felt like it had soul
Ah yes, constant rehashes, ports, low effort games, censorship and microtransactions.
The epitome of soul.

He won't, he's an accountant, not a gamer and programmer like iwata, or a people's person like reggie, the day another CEO appears on a direct would be when he's not at the company anymore.

>>712603719
Furukawa looks like a chigyu

Is it true Hiroshi just FUCKING loathed RPGs?

>>712630910
It was just cope because Square left for Sony.

>>712618085
Iwata was president of HAL Laboratory before he was Nintendo president.

>>712630910
Yeah, the dude hated them for years but still accepted that the audience existed which is why the SNES is filled with so many.
Then there's pokemon.

I miss him bros...

>>712618795
>I liked these things
Yeah so did I but the gamecube era was a rough one for them sales wise and you're riding nostalgia.

I miss him bros...

>On August 28, 2013, Kyoto University held a ceremony to honor two of Japan’s most influential business leaders with the prestigious title of Honorary Fellow: Kazuo Inamori, founder of Kyocera and the Inamori Foundation, and Hiroshi Yamauchi, the former president and long-time chairman of Nintendo.
>But while Inamori attended the ceremony in person to accept the award, Yamauchi — one of the most transformative figures in video game history — did not.
>Instead, Satoru Iwata, then president and CEO of Nintendo, stood quietly in his place. Iwata, known for his humility and deep respect for those who came before him, accepted the honor on Yamauchi’s behalf. His presence was dignified, but his absence spoke volumes.
>Just three weeks later, on September 19, 2013, Hiroshi Yamauchi passed away at the age of 85.
Genuinely depressing.

>>712603592 (OP)
Pretty sure Tojo died before 49.

>>712630062
Yokoi brought great shame to the company and then had the audacity to make a competing handheld for a different company. He knew Nintendo was Yakuza, he knew what could happen

>Yamauchi also refused to accept his retirement pension, which was reported to be around $9 to $14 million, believing that Nintendo could put it to better use.

damn

>>712631603
I don't think I'd know what to do with that much money either to be fair.

>>712631648
Buy the average Hollywood Jew.

Iwata was a genuine terrible president. He was a fuck-up that was regularly criticized by shareholders, hence why he keeps apologizing. 22% of management wanted him gone after the Year of Luigi and Wii U fiasco of 2013.

>>712626291
Now compare the Mario games.

>>712629867
But enough about Furukawa's Nintendo.

Yamauchi > Kimishima > shit > Iwata

I'll wait and see how the Switch 2 turns out before making a judgement on the chigyu kappa

>>712604523
His era was the one were they embraced it, when games would come out censored on PS4, but complete on Switch.
Too bad about Furukafag dialing back and sucking California dick.

>>712606683
Well, that's no problem really. In Asian culture, you don't acknowledge a mistake or admit to failure or wrongdoing. In extreme cases, you might express an apology, bowing at the waist in front of the cameras. Srorry!

Furukawa has been a disaster for the company. I mean from a business standpoint they are doing well, but he is a kike andbprobably responsible for the increase in litigousness and Nintendo just being kikier than before in general.

>>712635841
and also the strangling of lewd games in the switch era

>>712613823
because it is tojo

>>712635841
>increase in litigousness and Nintendo just being kikier than before in genera
You children would have all perished from aneurysms in the 90s

>>712633912
>>712635952
Furukawa was the one that explicitly told shareholders Nintendo does not censor third-party games. But I wonder now if he was just paraphrasing Kimishima at the time. This was very shortly after Kimishima stepped down and he took the reigns. Someone else said that for his first few years, he was just following the remaining roadmap laid by Iwata and Kimishima.

>>712603592 (OP)
Definitely not the Switch 2 era

>>712603592 (OP)
I mean Yamauchi and Iawata are the only two worth considering. The first two didn't even live in a world with videogames.
Yamauchi has had more impact overall, but Iwata could potentially have topped it eventually if he didn't get cancered.

>>712637746
>just north america and europe
games are censored in japan too.

>>712618795
>Cubebaby actually believes this

>>712603719
Well they did sell hanafuda cards to the yakuza in the past and today they manipulate Japanese laws though unknown means and use CIA level of stalking and psyops on individuals so...

>>712630910
Hiroshi was right about RPGs.

>>712604523
My favorite meme was that he would take over the nintendo directs, being the polar opposite of Iwata and his motto would be "you WILL understand."

>>712639120
fuck you rpgs are a boon to language learners

Miyamoto betrayed Yamauchi's vision.

>>712639801
>Yamauchi's vision.

Which led to the N64 being left in the dust by the PS1 and loosing massive third-party support.

>>712630910
RPGs were the most popular genre at the time, Dragon Quest had eclipsed Mario in Japan and Final Fantasy was selling Playstation consoles like crazy. He was legitimately seething that Nintendo was dethroned by turn based games.

Gamecube was a "disaster" in the sense that it got outsold by the PS2 by a massive margin. The dominance they had with the (S)NES couldn't even be dreamed of anymore.
Iwata did as he was told with the Wii and dominated the 8th generation like the PS2 dominated the 6th.

>>712603592 (OP)
>that picture of tojo

>>712641108

Iwata saved Nintendo. Yes he nearly destroyed it with the Wii U, but the GBA was likely going to get fucked by the psp so Iwata made a very questionable at the time decision of heel turning from an incredibly successful handheld and immediately jumping to the DS. The Wii made Nintendo relevant and a household name again, and he ultimately made the decision to merge the handheld and console lines with the switch before he passed away
Nintendo would have been third party by now if he hadn't taken the risks he did

>>712603592 (OP)
>tfw iwata was only 13 years old when he died

While you can take a look at Iwata's run's high and lows, his influence on the company will remain forever. Look at how people talk about him as if he had done nothing wrong, his era wasn't even that long and yet people talk about him like they do Steve Jobs and the like, who will be talking about Furukawa when he retires after serving as CEO for twice a long as Iwata? no one, people will remember Iwata, that has to be worth something.

with their underpowered hardware that cant run third parties. they kneecap themselves

>>712603592 (OP)
hiroshi
iwata was a great developer and should've stayed that way

It's literally just Yamauchi or Iwata.
Yamauchi saved the console gaming industry snd completely changed Nintendo as a company, and Iwata saved Nintendo as a manufacturer as well as the handheld gaming induatry, which had the writing on the wall with the 3DS being only mildly popular in the west.

>>712641337
byut they didnt connect the dots. N64 sucked compared to ps1 becaus eof cd and because of that ppl move to DVD and even then you had more space on PS2 game compared to 1.5gb gamecube disks then they kept with low power hardware

typical case of retarded higherups who make the wrong connections as to why something didnt work. then because it the normie shit of the wii they buried themselves into that hole and now their games suck and still sell because of INERTIA. this will lose steam and they they will get FUCKED because fact is their games fucking SUCK compared to before. this is the same process as WoW addiction as ppl kept playign despite that it was dead for a long fuckin time. when they run out of this steam its ghoing to be a slow burn into irrelevance and their games will be the equivalent of zoomer star wars

>>712641621
>Nintendo would have been third party by now
not really a bad thing

>>712642413
>INERTIA
Yes all the WiiU inertia carrying them along.

>>712603719
Furukawa looks like a damn nerd, and so is Iwata

>>712635841
Why did everyone memory hole the time when Nintendo straight up ran an illegal price fixing cartel for like 10 years?

>>712603834
These yakuza bosses are always the best. This guy would have whipped Nintendo back to shape but they became a scam instead.

>>712642478
A lot of Nintendo's projects are only possible due to being a manufacturer. Monolithsoft would have been dissolved by now due to underperforming sales of their games, but because they have such a healthy relationship inside of Nintendo by supporting other studios with open world development they're able to be given such large budgets to make games that will ultimately barely break even, if that.

I mean it has to be Hiroshi almost by default and it isn't even close considering he presided over the company going from nobody to a giant in the industry, went to war with Atari back when it was a major player and won so hard that Atari faded into irrelevance, presided over the Tetris wars, etc etc

>>712603807
This

>>712641621
Even with the WiiU failure, Nintendo was no where near going third party. Nintendo is the richest company in Japan because they have billions of dollars of savings and don’t take on debt.

>>712642496
inertia from SNES / game boy / n64 and GC, the consoles that buitl nintendos reputation with the games

wii, switch just leeching from that. atleast they should have a PRO verison basically the equivalent of playstation competitor that can run third party games equally for people willing to spend more money on their consoles, and a shitty version that runs in LOW fps and performance DLSS for the weaker version that poorer people like (not that it matters now with overprice switch/games lol)

>>712643004
the wii U failed because the Wii sucked. higher ups dont understand that consumers need a generation to adapt. shitty stuff sells a lot, great stuff doesnt sell etc, because of last product. higherups are noskills + wide normie audiences are never loyal (why buy wii u when you can have wii?) even if they named it the wii 2 it still would have bombed

>>712603592 (OP)
Honestly Hiroshi not only had the best actions on the company,since he's the reason they transformed into a videogame company, but he also picked the best people for it.
Like Miyamoto or the late Yokoi.
So objectively it's him.

>>712642413
1. Cartridges were still a FAR superior medium for video games, CDs only had the advantage of more storage. Disc lasers broke easily, discs got scratched, disc readers are loud, and it takes forever to load data off a disc. They're only remembered somewhat fondly because Sony heavily marketed the idea of cinematic games and lots of FMV cutscenes

2. GameCube was more powerful than PS2.

3. All the inertia you're talking about was completely lost with the Wii U, and it was pretty much already gone by the end of the Wii. Switch games sell dozens of millions because there are extremely good and exist on the novel device that can play home console games that you can also take with you and play portable. The S2 is selling off of inertia but MKW is great and DK looks great as well so I don't see your prediction coming true

>>712643595
well people liked cutscenes and also you can add more data outside of cutscenes im pretty sure part of the reason why n64 games look so empty is because of the data limitations

gamecube couldnt store as much data STILL and people could watch dvds on PS2 + people had inertia from all the third parties catalog on PS1 because building trust takes TIME and you cant abandon ship after one generation to change ur strategy and use ur brain instead of looking at the numbers in an obssessive fashion

3. soon nintendo games will be like FF7 remake. mark my words. it built on the inertia of great games and you will see the fallout as the years come by. at some point NO ONE will give a fuck about trashy pokemon games, the steam is running out. WoW isnt dead yet isnt alive either and took YEAR to limp and weaken. this is the worst thaqt can happen, because it is slow and still makes money, which incentives the idiot to keep going that way. it ends with DEATH. and look at astrobot, sony is coming to fill the niche as well as indie games who will also come on phones, pc playstation etc, a lot of humble third parties can run on fuckin phones now. people would say the same shit for WoW or star wars two more weeks blabla. just like western civilization. not with a bang but a whimper which is arguably more dangerous than bangs because there is no going back

Real talk, gotta go with Hiroshi or Satoru.

Yamauchi MADE Nintendo what is today and Iwata definitely had a lot of love and passion for the company before he died too soon.

>>712642049
You just didn't see guys like them, it's a "friendly" archetype, he will put cringey jokes when his people torture a debtor

>>712603592 (OP)
what vidya did that nigga fusajiro cook up?

>>712643157
I don't think you know what inertia means.

>>712642049
The nerd-type is the type you need to be worried about.

>>712645168
That pokegirl in the top left picture on the right hand side is cute though.

>>712645168

Cope steamie.
The steam deck flopped and all you can do is cry about Nintendo.

>>712618795
>the 20 year old gamecoober that is mad that everyone hates his favorite flopped console

Furukawa
This man knows shit about games. But in the years when the whole gaming industry is receding, he kept nintendo thriving.
But I still hate him anyway

>>712654696
Wrong reply?

Iwata and Reggie was the best combination.
Say what you will about games (Wii fucking SUCKED), but those two knew how to make Nintendo pro-consumer. In particular I'm fond of Reggie pushing the idea of making Wii Sports a free game and Iwata being the guy to hear him out on it.

>>712655259
Nah, tons of games weren’t localized because of Reggie.

>>712655259
reggie is a literal moron

>>712655309
What was and wasn't localized was done, again, with keen business sense as to what would contribute positively and negatively to the image Nintendo was trying to create, as well as what would actually be successful.
It sucks that some things weren't brought over I suppose.

Retard

>>712648292
Damn, Nintendo is based!

>>712603719
Nintendo was yakuza-affiliated until the mid-00s. Yokoi was a hit, after all.

>>712603592 (OP)
>went from Yakuza bosses to chigyu
Never go full chigyu.

>>712655605
So we need some help here.
What do you think moron means?

>>712603592 (OP)
Yamauchi and Kimishima eras were pure kino. Miss me with all the gay Iwata shit

>>712642049
He worked for the pokemon company so yeah

>>712604523
It feels too forced.

>>712637746
I honestly don't trust Furukawa because he was a filthy Pokemon company employee and even worse than him is Doug Bowser that was from EA...

>>712655925
Kill yourself zoomer. Skip ltd died because of this practice.
