Why? If I wanted to play games like that I have my pc and ps4. I like Nintendo's family friendly, fun local multiplayer more than sitting by myself in a room with a headset screaming and yelling at people I don't know. They are doing really good right now so why try to fix what isn't broken? And even if they did join the hardcore scene like everyone else, they would have to rebuild all of their engines and OS from the ground up so the devs don't have to spend so much to go out of their way to rewrite their games for Nintendo, because Nintendo uses their own unique hardware. That would also mean that all of Nintendo's emulators and backwards compatability would be gone, which is another great feature only Nintendo does this well.
I safely say joining the general crowd and rebuilding everything would be the WORST business change they could ever make at this point and would ruin the company.

I've admired Iwata ever since he took a cut to his own pay rather than laying people off, back when Nintendo was struggling financially with the 3DS' lukewarm reception. I admire him even more now that I know he continued to work despite his poor health. There's no telling how knee deep Nintendo would be in the development of mobile games by now if it wasn't for him. Nintendo got me into video games, and has been a part of my life ever since.
Thank you for the irreplaceable memories, Iwata-san. Rest in peace.
Iwata-san, thank you.
Thanks for the great games and the memories, sir.
I wouldn't be much without the works of yourself and the rest of the Nintendo big-wigs.

Welp that man was the CEO of my childhood.
Rip Iwata. He's one of the very few people i actually looked up too. I actually wanted to grow up to be someone like him.

I never knew that. I know he was a great CEO, but I didn't think he was good enough to willing cut his salary in half, and THEN drop the 3DS price at the same time like that. He's the role model of CEO's.
OT: Sad that he caught so much flak for this year's E3. But I'm sure he, and everyone else at Nintendo were happy as a clam when they saw that Splatoon sold and rated well enough to be the first big flagship Nintendo title in a very long time to add to their legendary Nintendo game legacy. Rest in peace.

[quote=Buster1651]Wasn't he like the president or director for Nintendo? I really am clueless about Nintendo
I think he was the guy at E3 with the glasses. If so that's pretty sad. He looked too young to die.[/quote]
He was the CEO of Nintendo and yes he had glasses. Died at 55 gg

IT is true that Iwata passed away. To ease your mind, ill just say this is fake.
I was hoping this wasn't real, but dang, it was.
The guy was pretty much a legend. I'm wondering what's next for Nintendo now that Iwata isn't at the helm?
Goodbye, Mr. Iwata. Thank you for my childhood, adolescence, and what relatively short amount of adulthood that I've experienced so far.
I hope you find that smiling Lakitu cloud in the sky to soar on.
[quote=CSWalker]Why did'nt you guys understand?
Rest in peace Satoru Iwata[/quote]
I always understood. The thing that mattered wasn't the date it was released, it was the love that went into the game. The love for games and the passion to make them and play them, that's all we ever needed to understand.

Why did'nt you guys understand?
Rest in peace Satoru Iwata
[quote=MeiGuiHua]I don't know him nor do I care[/quote]
Yeah, you messaging on a topic ABOUT him sure helps your comment to make out that you surely don't care at all.
So edgy.
he brought happiness to soo many people including myself. That guy made a huge chunk of my childhood, rest in peace Iwata, you'll truly be missed..
@MeiGuiHua Do you enjoy being heartless?
[quote=sparkshooter]I don't know him either and I also don't care.[/quote]
You sure are cool.
Damn. Rest in peace.

[quote=MeiGuiHua]I don't know him nor do I care[/quote]

confirmed there is no god
Yeah, l can't believe he'd be gone so soon.
May he rest in peace and his legacy live on.
[quote=MeiGuiHua]I don't know him nor do I care[/quote]
You didn't need to post that..
He's the biggest figurehead in Nintendo aside from Reggie..
It is true !
R.I.P. The amount of flak Nintendo got for E3 makes this so much worse.
[quote=MeiGuiHua]I don't know him nor do I care[/quote]
That's really rude, many people have idolized this man for the games he worked on. If you have nothing nice to say then please don't post in this thread.
@CygnusBabii: well i played like 8 years ago and never heard about him
[quote=MeiGuiHua]I don't know him nor do I care[/quote]
If you played any Nintendo game from the past two decades, you probably experienced some of the love he put into the productions he was a part of
God damn.....
First Monty and now satoru? God, plz stop taking my favorite people.
holy crap..... rip...
oh no rest in peace
I'm hoping it's some troll who hacked into nintendo and did it. But with his duct growth, it's most likely true.
That's pretty sad.
Seems kotaku posted about it as well.
