Such a brilliant and inspiring man.

I want to hear *everything* about his "new Mario Kart Record and so on".
AREKEEOO
Say what you will about Nintendo, but they were always innovating, while Sony and Microsoft are like "Just make it a fucking PC"
FrodoShrugged
Hooked as a kid with NES, owned every console and handheld since. My son and I will have the switch under the tree this year! Thanks big N
anjunaspeak23
It’s mind blowing that a 130+ yr old company that started out selling playing cards still thinks this way! Rest in the best peace possible!
BossCar9
Tfw an Imgur comment made me look this up and learned that Nintendo was founded in 1889.

Actually found that a couple weeks ago, I highly recommend
Simsimillia
"Even a small amount of power can have a great effect when concentrated in a small area" - the inventor of guns, probably
Remainder
Or dynamite, which revolutionized warfare. Invented by the creator of the Nobel Peace prize.
smaug13
nah, explosions are a lot of power distributed everywhere.

The Wii U was Nintendo taking a risk that didn't pay out. On the other hand, they also made the Wii, DS and Switch. Those prints money.
Theertzuinianer
And that's what's great about them. They take risks with fresh concepts instead of churning out inferior PC's.
Charky
The Switch is what the Wii U was meant to be, and we wouldn't have it if the Wii U hadn't come first.
Xenarion

BC (at least in my school) it was called the "Barney Purse" and "was childish" too which i told my friends, fuck you, it's fun.
ArchangelValkyrie
Thank you Mr Iwata for my entire childhood and most of my current adulthood. You enjoyed making ppl smile and for that the world loves you.

RandomGuyJCI
Those damn ninjas are at it again!!!
zamielvanweber
As much as I rag on Nintendo for some of their less savory practices, he Iwata really was a respectable dude who did a lot of good for games
Xenarion
Nintendo is great. Nintendo of America is... not as great.
zamielvanweber
Both are noted for being hostile to content creators. Playing them against each other is how Jim Sterling do sometimes.
mozzaru
less savory practices?
MisterGregar
As much of a Nintendo fanboy I can be, the way they treat online content creators is fucked. Also, Nint. of America enables scalpers.
NextineX
Nintendo constantly pulls an apple and intentionally distributes insufficient merch, just to drive up demand... This is super well known.
Xenarion
That's Nintendo of America. In Japan they have sufficient stocks.
kekkres
Its more that ever since the flop of the wiiU which they massivly overproduced and never sold all of, everything that was even possibly 1/2
kekkres
uncertain, they took extreamly conservative estimates in sales numbers
AngryRaven
This, Nintendo has consistently under-performed (compared to Japan) in America so they became massively over-cautious on American releases
mnss1997
Yeah all fun and games but...does it give you a sense of pride and accomplishment?
scree06
Yes. Nintendo usually balances fun and difficulty well. Odyssey is a perfect example of that
370zSteve
FedoraWearingDragon
Nintendo is weird, on one hand, they always seek innovation with tgeir consoles and every once in a while they do a new IP or "reboot" | 1/2
FedoraWearingDragon
One of their old ones in a new cool way, on the other hand, they do so. many. freaking. sequels. Fun sequels mind you, but its a lot. | 2/2
Ducksssssss
then whats the problem
RelativeVelocity
It is incredibly rare, being sequel or reboot or new IP, for me to not enjoy a Nintendo game.
StopStaringAtMyUserNameItsVeryShy
I'd fucking care about his Mario kart records
ButtholeAromatherapy
But not his former classmates
Geracht
I'd pull a Speed Racer; race against his ghost, and at the last minute, brake so he never loses the lead.
lakethatsme
As my friend once said: "The blood of Iwata went into making the switch." And man, after BoTW and Odyssey, I believe it.
StaalTheNotQuiteSoUndefeatedAnymoreButNevermind
I'm sure even after a decade, we'll still see his fingerprints on processes and concepts he instilled into Nintendo.
Ansatsunin
The whole corporate mentality of treating your employees as a team and not breathing down people's necks - all him.
nameisunavailable
Every switch has NES golf included in its OS, a game Iwata coded himself: https://youtu.be/CGN6QXv7sfs
Alozar
Yea but you can only play it on his birthday or something, I think. And it's hidden.
admiralawesome4213
While the physical design of the switch was a little bit shit, it has some great titles which really shows that people don't care about 1/2
admiralawesome4213
The newest shiniest hardware. At its core it's about the games and having fun. He knew that, but i feel new generations dont due to 2/3
admiralawesome4213
The influx of today's tech and game market changes (EA) it's become less about the player and more about the pay and while I understand 3/4
admiralawesome4213
As a company it's important to have good profits, alienating your consumer is a road to death. 4/4
AsAnAussie
More literal than you think. Gaijin Goomba did a video showing Iwatas early work hidden inside the Switch
Geracht
Even more so, it is sealed away now, as you would a tribute in an envelope, so it's inacessible by normal means, out of respect.
ItsASecretButIllNeverTell
I own two games for the switch: those two. Those two games alone will keep me holding on to it forever. I believe your friend was right.
feryooday
Mario Kart 8 is pretty fun too.
ItsASecretButIllNeverTell
I played that game to death on the Wii U. It's amazing. But BoTW and Odyssey were new games so I bought them first.
ItsASecretButIllNeverTell
I've put more than my fair share of time in both games and I'm still not done with them
VrryBurntpork
You should really buy more games though...
threecheersforsweetrevenge
I mean, I only plan on getting those two games and Undertale
VrryBurntpork
Switch isn't getting Undertale. And I think you're missing out but whatever works for you.
threecheersforsweetrevenge
Then I was sadly misinformed, thank you for correcting me. And I want other games, but those two are my main focus/concern
RelativeVelocity
I recommend Fire Emblem Warriors to add to your collection. It's sick
Skromulator
Breath of the wild alone is worth it to me.
BluePaladin42
God that is an amazing game. Even if you don't own a Switch, but still have your WiiU, get that freaking game.

Thank you for that Jesus. I have never seen it. I haven't even found it in the game, now I have to go back and pay tribute to Iwata.

Press F to have fun
GoldenSun3DS
Except for those without your game console. Nintendo should make games multiplatform if they truly care about "fun for everyone".
morelikeconsham
I take two issues with that - 1, it is a company, and even if they have a great vision, they need a profit. 2)one of their main focuses is
morelikeconsham
Innovations in hardware itself. Can't exactly play Wii sports to any meaningful degree on an xbox.
subjug8r
Tell that to the makers if "Cuphead". Digital frustration incarnate.
chronoivan
Some people love a challenge and overcoming it, is all.
TiGRIOSindustriesRnD
But did you pay an extra $30 for Mugman?
StaalTheNotQuiteSoUndefeatedAnymoreButNevermind
Cuphead is a lot of fun, as well as hard as fuck.
JayMarBu
I don’t know about you but I really enjoyed cuphead
CoffeeyCore
Hell yes. Extremely frustrating, but so much fun. Kinda how I feel about Dark Souls, too. (it's the Dark Souls of platformers! Hurrdurr)
Simsimillia
I kinda disagree with that statement. Just focusing on fun denies the many other experiences you can have with video games.
Covfefe2020
I think we meant that word in a broader sense.
HeavenOrHellLetsRock
Fun is IMO a broad statement anyways. A horror game might be scary AND fun. Just because its fun doesn't mean its cheerful.
GaryDang3r
Sometimes they are about self development or proviede a different view on society or... and so on
IncorrektGramerNazi
yeah it's about the sense of pride and accomplishment bla bla bla darth vader bla bla bla it's in the game
DamianWinters
Why would you ever play something that wasn't fun?
Rutskarn
Why would you watch a movie or read a book that wasn't fun?
dex2775
Silent Hill is a good video game. It is not a /fun/ videogame. It scares the bejeezus out of you, and that is emotionally satisfying.
StaalTheNotQuiteSoUndefeatedAnymoreButNevermind
Same question could be asked, why would you watch anything but comedies
DamianWinters
Because other genres can be equally as fun, laughing isn't the only form of fun.
StaalTheNotQuiteSoUndefeatedAnymoreButNevermind
I feel that's just using the word fun in place of entertainment though.
Chiluzza
He was such a big role model I actually cried when he passed away
Zixtank
The day he passed there was a rainbow stretching from Nintendo HQ in Kyoto. People dubbed it Iwata's Rainbow Road.

Same here man. He's pretty much the reason I love gaming.

I would upvote this twice if I could, this guy got it. Other game companies can learn a great deal from Nintendo. Looking at you EA
IHateyouIfyouremoreattractivethanme
Instead Nintendo is learning from EA, looking at you locked content behind overpriced amiibo.
AngryRaven
I dunno about that, overpriced bullshit microtransactions in EA games are only good for that one game. The Amiibos unlock easter eggs and
AngryRaven
items in all kinds of different Amiibo enabled Nintendo games/products. Overpriced, sure. but they are a physical, collectible, reusable
AngryRaven
item unlike other overpriced in-game microtransactions.
IHateyouIfyouremoreattractivethanme
Last I checked they only unlock unique items in the game/franchise they were made for, any other game, it's a temporary power up.
DickDastardly404
Nintendo are devs and publishers, they’re able to make creative choices. EA doesn’t make games, they fund and publish them. Not devs.
tzxAzrael
nah, you're wrong about that. clearly EA is quite incapable of learning at all.
DrFartstheTRex
They won’t learn because the backlash has done nothing to hurt their bottom line.
