Nintendo isn’t always…uh…good? In fact, throughout their long and winding history, it’s only a brief period of time that they weren’t just about the worst gaming company out there. Yeah. They were pretty bad. So here’s a video about Nintendo stuff.

I feel like Reggie was such a likable figure because he was always in the public eye, front and center of directs, E3 presentations, etc. There’s not many other figures like that in the gaming industry, you’re not going to see the President of Sony showing up for a State of Play. It’s probably the reason why we see Phil Spencer so often nowadays as well.

The existence of Nintendo apologists mostly exist due to how good Nintendo's development branch is. Ever since the they first started developing games the general trend for Nintendo games was quality and innovation. People grew up with and still play their games, because when it comes to games, Nintendo is one of the most consistent developers when it comes to quality The problem however, is that Nintendo is not one big entity with the same mindset throughout. Nintendo's game development branch is WAY different from their executive branch in how they approach their consumers. Because of this, Nintendo apologists want to believe anything with the name "Nintendo" does is inherently good, when this is just not the case. The executive branch of Nintendo holds all of the power and they're the ones making all of the horrible anti-consumer descisions. It's no wonder then, that Iwata was originally just a developer who rose to the top, which explains his differring mindset from all the other presidents and executives.

Honestly I'm baffled that businesses haven't realized that backgrounds matter. Of course people who understand the industry and consumer will have an intrinsic sense of what to provide; they both acted as consumer and producer and have experienced firsthand the causes and effects of success and failure. It's one of the first rules of employment. Hire sailors to man boats, and hire pilots to man planes; not the other way around. Iwata should have been a blueprint for good leadership at Nintendo, not a unique stroke of luck.

You're looking at these "job" slots as an actual job, and not as a bag of loot for those with all the money and all the power. Why would they NOT want to reward themselves? It's not complicated why a shareholder would want someone like themselves, especially a family member, to get the loot bag. And not some nerd who wrote source for a Pokemon game or something. Or even worse - a person who was poor for five minutes in their lives. They might have caught some empathy for plebs, or something.

(Everyone who isn't a higher-up executive) I love those guys and can feel the passion from that side. Iwata and Reggie were one of them before they became CEO and president of the business. I personally see their strengths greater than their weaknesses, but I acknowledge their flaws and hope for their sake they get better executives to better themselves as a corporation. They've become the most successful & beloved Japanese company in the world, they shouldn't ruin such a feat over poor management decisions

You mentioned Nintendo expressing interest in leaving the console business, and honestly I'd be thrilled if they did. Nintendo's retro services are so paltry that even calling it a retro service is a bit of a stretch. If Nintendo just dumped their massive back catalogue onto Steam they'd be rolling in more money than they'd ever know what to do with. If Nintendo wants people to stop pirating and "illegally" emulating their games, then a great way to do that is just making them available. As Gabe Newell once said, piracy is a services problem. People will buy when the product is affordable and available.

I got really confused and upset when the possibly of Nintendo moving away from consoles was mentioned. I mean what? How are they going to stay in the video game industry? Those franchises and characters are loved because they are video game characters to begin with. People want to play as them in their respective worlds. It’s a completely different concept to cartoon characters. You can’t just expect that the characters alone will keep the company alive. Sure, people wouldn’t mind seeing a Mario movie, or a Donkey Kong theme park or something. But most of the time, they should exist in video games in order for people to appreciate them. Basically what I’m trying to say in so many words is, Nintendo has established itself as a video game company. A company that makes stories and lovable characters in video games for people to play. If they leave that identity, Nintendo will cease to exist.

The same devs refuse to work on Advance Wars right now (possibly ever) because they don't know how to add Fire Emblem's romance system to the series, ignoring the fact they used to make games without romance. Finally Age of Calamity is developed by Koie Tecmo, also not directly by Nintendo. Also, it's a musous/warriors game. What did you expect? Frame drops should be expected. I own the game and it only ever drops to 20fps on my OG model Switch, and only when I'm doing the flashy stuff in front of a lot of enemies.

My point is, games that aren't developed directly by Nintendo shouldn't be the focus here. Animal Crossing's barren content drip model, Link's Awakening INCREDIBLY choppy frame rate, and other in-house games should be our target with Nintendo's quality issues in games

I think they might try to ride the train with another switch like console in the future, just for how long it's going to work is the real question. The appeal of the switch is that it's both portable and you can put it on your TV screen, but that will become the norm eventually at some point for all gaming publishers with the rise of cloud based gaming on which you can play on your phone, then your TV when you get home. Might seem far fetched right? But all the major platforms (Sony, Microsoft, even Google) are investing now on cloud base services, preparing for the future. So how is Nintendo going to keep up in that future, is what I think is going to be interesting to watch.

I can think of a lot of anti-consumer decisions during the Iwata era, mainly the short stock of the amiibos and NES classics. A lot of the issues smash tournaments had with smash were also in this era, where tournaments were not allowed to play modded games or be sponsored by Nintendo. Correct me if I’m wrong but I’m pretty sure Iwata outlasted Project M.

So Iwata was actively trying to sabotage Paper Mario and Metroid? I'm sorry, but that's incredibly stupid. At worst you could say that his decisions could have been misguided (the guy wasn't perfect after all), but you make it sound like he was screwing over Metroid and Paper Mario for no good reason. What would he gain in doing that? And if you are talking about Other M, that was Sakamoto's brainchild. And it was Iwata who coded Pokemon Gold and Silver, started Smash with Sakurai and encouraged him on the project after Miyamoto was agaisnt using Nintendo characters, tasked the development of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, slashed his salary after the failure of the Wii U, and was behind the development of the Switch. The guy was a team player to his employees. Let's not pretend that his tenure as president was completely irredemable.
