It's been a decade since we lost him, does it still hurt? How would he feel about the state of Nintendo and the game industry as a whole?

It wouldn't be called Switch 2 with him around, soulless name.

I made a 3DS theme dedicated to this. Please try it if you have a brewed 3DS.

You are a diaper shitting retard.

/v/ played the ending theme to earthbound.
It was a very touching moment and very sorrowful.

>>715065525
Yeah it would be called Switch U and flop

>Iwata dies
>Nintendo immediately goes Jewish mode
He was the final bastion.

Iwata's replacement -> Zelda's Ass getting bigger and rounder.
I can't complain.

switch 2 overall is the most soulless nintendo console ever

>>715068370
Hard to disagree

>>715065976
Sauce on that Zelda art?

>>715068370
It's not the console itself IMO, because it feels the same as the Switch just better. But I feel that ever since Mario Wonder and TotK, and now MK World, we're seeing a trend of a Nintendo that feels more sort of, uncharmingly boisterous and "commercialized".

Like, everybody's talking about how "amazing" the OST is in MKW but I just hear a lot of over-produced slop versions of songs from every Mario game ever made before. Mario Wonder was just forced SOVL, and TotK was them trying to classicize the BotW format with more "epic & edgy" story, and an overwrought take on narrative that still really sucks in that unique BotW suckiness.

It just feels like Nintendo is "trying too hard" now, when their games used to be charming.

He died believing he let down the fans after the 2015 digital showcase. Did he deserve it bros?

Worst Nintendo president, Yamauchi mogged him in everyway

>>715070702
Iwata was frequently criticized by shareholders, he was big fuckup, DS/WII were Yamauchi ideas.

>hated by shareholders
Wouldn’t that make him based tho? Shareholders are the reason for all types of corporate cancer.

Iwata had some shitty ideas but he was also a visionary and wasn't a reactionary president when times got tough. I don't think Nintendo gets to Switch without Wii U.

>>715072837
If you're going to penalize him for Wii/DS, you have to credit him for Switch

He was murdered

>>715074768
They say his last words were "itai yo."

I think Iwata would push mouse mode on the joycons. I think he'd like more games to use dual mice.

Iwata is the Paul Tibbitt to Yamauchi's Stephen Hillenburg.
