remember when the system never got multiplatform games day and date, and then simply didn't get them at all? those were the glory days man.
Remember that the third party support was still leagues ahead of what Nintendo got today?

It would be interesting to see age groups and how happy they are with Iwata. For me, he has done nearly everything right. I love his approach.Iwata Nintendo is best Nintendo. And I've been around since the NES days.
So basically, it's a 'yay' for me.

Well Soul Calibur II was the last Soul fighting game to show up on a Nintendo hardware and it was only on the one with power.Surely the WiiU having parity with the other new generation consoles would ensure support.
Surely.
Dude, you could play as Mario in NBA Street V3! What the heck were you looking for? Online play?
It's the japan-centric design and mentality that will lead to Nintendo's downfall, so instead of giving the US-side more say - they take charge of it.

I think that says something.
Also, Factor 5 jump ship when they saw the Wii had bomba hardware.
Him and Dave Meltzer are the same person. He constantly comes into every Nintendo thread to troll, just ignore him.
On topic, the best way to tell how much of Nintendo's issues revolve around Iwata is to do this test run. Hell he may still resign if sales don't improve as he promised.
Wtf, this is a horrible move :/

Yeah, just sweep the two consecutive failed hardware launches, pathetic infrastructure, and embarrassing software lineup under the rug. Ignore him being directly responsible for the biggest losses Nintendo's ever taken as a company. Ignore that fact that he has disregarded 3rd parties to such a degree that they openly LAUGH at the prospect of ever truly supporting Nintendo hardware.
Clearly none of that matters.
We hate Iwata because he loves casual games. Yep, that's it.
Dude, that doesn't work. You have to complain on Miiverse.
Pretty much. I've seen it now with even bloody NSMBWii vs NSMB2/NSMBU.
I'm looking forward to the day someone holds up WiiWare over eShop, at which point the internet will collapse into some kind of ironic event horizon.
Just because dave and I share the same opinion and like wrestling, doesn't mean we are the same person! He continues to post while I was banned ;-)
Also, disagreeing isn't trolling.
If I were to use your definition of trolling, I could say the same about the people gojng on about how awesome Iwata is.
Newsflash, he ain't. Telling the truth is now trolling?
If he's so awesome, why is the 3DS fubar, underpowered and undercooked.
Exactly the same as the Wiiu. Why are they taking heavy losses? Why is the Wiiu struggling despite Iwata "growing the market".
If he is so awesome, why ain't he getting job offers from EA or bobby Kotick?
Also, disagreeing isn't trolling.
He's done some bad things but, from a corporate standpoint, he has also done some very good things.

Some cases, or all cases?It definitely makes a difference in some cases. Namco seems to want to support Nintendo when possible. We did just get Tekken Tag 2...
Really? You love paying to 'upgrade' ROMs to play them again on an over-priced underpowered underselling device that barely competes with devices released 7 years ago?
You like the complete lack of interesting new IPs instead of iterating on the same 3 franchises ad infinitum?
You're happy with business shakeups because of low sales and everyone running around like their head is cut off because they don't have a consensus of why the Wii U is selling worse than the GameCube?
You're happy with how they tease you with Earthbound, but won't launch with it?
There's nothing you'd change at all? You're happy with the direction the company has gone?
And that turned out how?Also, Factor 5 jump ship when they saw the Wii had bomba hardware.

Fuck this.
I'm emailing Nintendo.
Well, Iwata's recent statement today that "The WiiU isn't selling because there's no compelling software yet" seems like a pretty simple and straight-forward explanation. So I'd say they have a pretty firm grasp on where they're at right now. You think they're seeing these numbers and pulling a Macaulay Culkin and screaming in shock at these numbers? As if they had no idea this was coming?
Looks like Iwata don't trust Reggie anymore. E3 2012 was a cornerstone, and as an ex marketer this event Reggie led was a serious professional fault. And it was not the first, nor thelast one.
Some cases, or all cases?
I don't think these games would ever come to the Wii without there being more power.
-GTA 4
-Ninja Gaiden 2
-Dead or Alive 5
-Bioshock
-Crysis 2
-Assassins Creed
-Mass Effect
-Resident Evil 5
With the last game, Capcom even admitted the console couldn't handle the title screen.
Sonic generations for Wii got canceled because it would have looked like crap.
Im failing to see how this is a change to the worse. Was this guy that nobody has heard of doing such a great job ?
From what I read on GAF NOJ was basicly managing NOA anyway so wont this be more like removing one step of the beurecrazy ?
Instead of Iwata managing the old CEO (forgot his name) managing Reggie now Iwata is managing Reggie ?
Arrest me if I am completely off base here.
He's not shy about admitting mistakes. His 3DS turnaround was incredibly impressive, and achieved mostly with securing appealing software for the system.He isn't going to tell investors that they simply made a huge mistake.
Last I read, it was doing better than the DS in the similiar timeframe. I guess it depends how you look at it.
I find it funny that there is even am NoA CEO.
Just shows how outdated this company is.
3DS won't ever reach DS numbers. DS will remain the absolute most successful handheld for a while or maybe ever.The 3DS had a better launch than the DS, but it is currently selling much worse than the DS did at a similar point in its lifespan. Worldwide current 3DS sales are disappointing. Hopefully, this year's strong lineup will turn it around, but that has happened yet.

It seems like there was something released during the 6th generation that came between Soul Calibur 2 being on the Gamecube and Soul Calibur 4 skipping the Wii that suggests there might be more to it than you are thinking.Well Soul Calibur II was the last Soul fighting game to show up on a Nintendo hardware and it was only on the one with power.
I think that says something.
And consumers jumped ship when they saw that Factor 5 had bomba softwareAlso, Factor 5 jump ship when they saw the Wii had bomba hardware.
What a misleading-ass title. Read the press release, people. Nothing is really changing here. It's just Kimishima returning to Japan and Iwata taking over any of his NOA responsibilities in addition to Iwata's current role.
Damn, what's with all the meta-hate with Reggie.
I find it funny that there is even a NoA CEO.

Considering how games have to sell more copies than ever, I think it's almost guaranteed publishers would have done what it takes to get those games on Wii if there was power. It just would have been a Gamecube scenario where if certain games bomb, they'll hold back on some titles. But money is money.There is a chance those games could have come to Wii if it was on par w/ PS360, but no guarantee. We didn't get any GTA on Cube and Chinatown Wars bombed on DS, so that's real iffy. Irrational has no desire to work on Nintendo systems - power or no power. Nor does Crytek. All the others, I'll grant you though.
But yeah, it's more than just power at this point. It's a combination of that + poor relationships + kiddy/casual image.
Edit: Almost forgot about online infrastructure.
Why are so many of you feeding him?
