IGN - Despite harboring its fair share of truly exceptional games - such as Super Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime 3, Donkey Kong Country Returns, Zelda: Twilight Princess and Super Smash Bros. Brawl - a trip down the Wii aisle at your local gaming store makes it hard to argue against the system's casual image. But during a recent Q&A session with investors, Nintendo President Satoru Iwata stated it was never the company's intention to solely market to casual gamers.
At the heart of Iwata’s tenure at Nintendo was a philosophy of listening.
In 2015, Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata sadly passed away. Dear friend and EarthBound creator Shigesato Itoi compiled his musings as a tribute.
Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa recently sat down with Nikkei to discuss his approach to leading the company through the current Switch era, as well as what influences past presidents like Satoru Iwata and Hiroshi Yamauchi had on him.
nothing wrong with him per say but he just feels kinda lifeless compared to Iwata and lacks the tough guy almost Yakuza vibe Yamauchi gave off
This guy is a penny pincher and has no love of gaming. It is obvious in the half assed ports he is pushing. Iwata we miss you.
"The system was never intended to be a casual console."
