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

>Mario platformers (NSMB + 3D Land/World sucked)
>Metroid
>Star Fox
>Paper Mario
>F-Zero
>Mario Tennis/Golf
>Legend of Zelda
>Yoshi
>Donkey Kong
>Wario Land
>Golden Sun
>Fire Emblem
>Smash Bros
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.

B-B-BUT HE WAS LE HECKIN AWKWARD WHOLESOME JAPANESE MAN WHO WAS MY FRIEND! HE HECKIN PROGRAMMED SHITTY NES SHOVELWARE AND SAVED LE HECKIN GEN 2 WHICH WAS TEH BEST GEN EVER!

Kek, you fucking faggot Neotendodrones will never be true Nintendo fans. Yamauchi absolutely MOGGED this fucking faggot and youre all stupid for worshipping him. He was so fucking idiotic the yakuza had to poison his sake to get him bile cancer and die so he'd stop ruining the company

Everything wrong with Nintendo can be traced back to Iwata.

Nintendo's soul died with him.

Ah yes, constant rehashes, ports, low effort games, censorship and microtransactions.
The epitome of soul.

Sold less than GBA and had to slash down the price to justify its existence. Pretty fucking bad.

>>715146084
Nice try zoomer, they actually gave a shit about QUALITY and had their best games ever made during his tenure.

>>715146312
bait

Reminder that Iwata killed the power Nintendo of America had in the 90s.

From 1990-2000. Nintendo of America had production and management autonomy from Japan. NOA basically culminated its own production team, along a few co-designers, and started funding and producing games with developers.

>DMA Design: Uni Racers, Body Harvest (Nintendo dropped it in 1997, Midway took it)
>Angel Studios: Ken Griffey Baseball, Buggie Boogie (canceled)
>Bits Studios: Warlocked, Riqa (canceled)
>Rare: Donkey Kong Country, Killer Instinct, Goldeneye 007, Perfect Dark
>Software Creations: Ken Griffey Baseball, Tin Star
>Silicon Knights: Eternal Darkness (N64 version)
>Left Field Productions: Kobey Bryant in NBA Courtside, Excitebike 64
>Looking Glass Studio: Mini Racers (canceled)
>Mass Media: Star Craft 64
>H20: Tetrisphere
>Saffire Corp: Nester's Funky Bowling, James Bond 007
>DIC: Super Mario Bros cartoons, Legend of Zelda, Captain N: The Game Master
>Midway: Cruisn Series

Nintendo of America also procured the Ken Griffey and MLBPA license, NHL License, Kobe Bryant and NBA license, PGA license, Disney license, James Bond license, StarCraft license. Star Wars Episode I license. They were producing their own first-party games separate from Nintendo of Japan.

That all changed when Iwata transitioned from Global Marketing Chief to President. NOA Production was killed, and Nintendo of Japan's SPD Department took over all Western development (Star Fox Adventures, Geist, Eternal Darkness GC).

Henry Sterchi, Brian Ullrich, Ken Lobb, Ed Ridgeway, Jeff Hutt, Faran Thomason, and the whole crew left NOA to Microsoft and other developers. Since then, we've seen the Western model we have today. Western developers reporting directly to Japanese management, and pretty much making B/C sequels to Nintendo IPs.

Based Iwata if only he had finished the job and killed Treehouse as well.

ah, of course, how hadn't i realized it earlier?
THIS is what mindbroke tendies into becoming the new snoys

>>715146364
Not bad zoomerfaggot, you are delusional if you think New Super Mario Bros 2 is better than Super Mario Bros 3, or Skyward Sword is better than OOT.

Nintendo was actually good when he was still alive and since his passing has been the worst its ever been.

The games are at an all time quality low and the last 2 consoles are just trash and trash 2 with 0 innovation yet somehow making more money than ever.

>>715144731 (OP)
Has it really been 10 years? I can't believe I've been standing still in my life for that long. Nothing has changed for me, except the internet has gotten infinitely worse.

>PS1 is better than NES

Hey, this is just true. Although there are some pretty good romhacks out there.

>>715146547
ah yes, SMB3 and OoT, my favorite Cubie games.

Things that snoys have been forced to pretend to like in order to force concern and get people to turn on Nintendo and the Switch:
>The old Donkey Kong games
>Ocarina of Time
>pre-BoTW Zelda games
>Iwata
>Reggie
>Rare
>Bomberman
>The GameCube
>Super Smash Bros. Melee
>Mario Kart 8

Looking forward to them praising Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and Metroid Prime 3 all of sudden.

>>715146664
>The games are at an all time quality low
games like Mario Party was at its lowest under Iwata, its much better these days.

>>715147178
Pikmin, Prime and GX still mogs anything Shitwata did

Wait until Miyamoto retires and suddenly they'll like him as well.

>>715147528
why do i feel so nostalgic over this picture
i remember it was posted a lot in early 3DS threads

You now remember the schizo conspiracy theory that Nintendo hid a rom of NES Golf in the first versions of the Switch firmware as a tribute to Iwata that you could access by doing his "DIRECTRY TU YUU" hand gesture with the joycons.
