I'm not the one calling the commercial uneffective..
No, you were calling the North American advertising effective, though, so you're basing a different argument on the same information (read: none) and saying yours is valid because sales happened.
Despite the fact that not every region marketed the game the same and saw equally impressive sales.
For example, please draw your attention to this infinitely superior Splatoon ad from the UK and Japan that we never got:

I apologize if I was unclear, I was merely saying that we don't know if it was effective or not. Nothing more.
I think it'll be just your typical mobile games using Nintendo licenses, if they're succesful or not will depend on whatever makes mobile games succesful.
Mario Tennis Ultra Smash. And of course they'll have more than two games next year. Late 2015 Nintendo Directs are gonna be good.
Man, I completely forgot about that game.

He's a company veteran (been there longer than Miyamoto), people know who he is, he oversees hardware, New 3DS recently launched and was/is successful. Shareholders don't care that people on GAF want more flops.
Look at his Wiki article. He has quotes as far back as 2002 that seem to indicate it his personal philosophy.
Like people have said, there is a middle ground.
To his credit, I think he wants both power efficiency and performance. He was able to achieve both for GameCube. But I think it might not be as feasible now?
He made the StarTropics franchise.
Veteran in the Nintendo ranks and pretty much the go-to man for all of their hardware execution from start to finish.

No. I'm just baffled by people who claim that someone deserves to be fired, with little to no knowledge of what their job actually is or what their responsibilities are.
Especially when it comes to Miyamoto and Iwata.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
To be fair, it let consumers know how boring the game was.

You must not be familiar with Gunpei Yokoi and the Game Boy, who made this philosophy famous and successful.
Not sure what I posted implied that. I didn't say Takeda came up with it. Just that there are some quotes that indicates he personally agreed with it.
Also those issues are much more important for a portable device than a console.

I don't think you actually know what you're saying. You think if Takeda weren't there Nintendo would suddenly churn out a PS4? lol please...

I'm glad to see Mr. Mizutani has such high approval rating. Sure, he's been with the company for a long time, but I believe 2014 was his first year as outside director. Obviously he's done a good job.
Also good that the approval ratings for Mr. Iwata and Mr. Miyamoto are up. The more stability the better.

And it's not even Mario Strikers. I'll wait for more details but if it's doesn't match up to the GBA RPGs then it's not exactly a day one buy for me.
To be fair, almost no one in this thread knows what they're saying. We've seen arguments about TFlops when really that shit doesn't really matter all that much when producing games. As long as the console either supports modern engines (which apparently Wii U can given a UE4 game's in development) or is popular enough to make proper ports (the real kicker) then it really doesn't matter what specs the console has.
I'm not asking for a PS4. But I'm also not happy about a Man designing Consoles as if Japan is the world.
