Pachter did it again. While talking about Nintendo in his latest episode, he didn't seem to have a very good opinion on Saturo Iwata. Calling him "the late and not so great Satoru Iwata."

I suppose that this doesn't come as a big suprise for Nintendo fans who know Pachter, but was this really necessarily? If you already have a bad opinion on Pachter, then I doubt this video will raise it.

To lighten up the mood: DidYouKnowGaming recently released a video about Saturo Iwata

Pachter sealed his destiny this time, what a stupid remark.
Satoru Iwata was a awesome game developer and a very good Nintendo executive. He was always a good sport and fun guy.

Pachter should think before he speaks.

If he wanted to make a reasonable point about possible mistakes/choises made by Iwata, that's one thing. This is however an whole other, not so positive thing...

This isn't going to end well...

I wonder , do gamer really hate Pachter? if he talked good thing about sales number he will get applause , but if he trashing or bad mouthing some gaming product he will be a public enemy.

Honestly he sounds pretty reasonable in most of these videos.

He thinks "free to start, locked content, pay to keep playing" is a bad idea for mobile.

Thats why he says what he said, its because it was Satoru Iwata idea to keep it like that.

Pachter says the industry has learned its better to stay free2play, and get a huge installbase and have whales that spend alot, than a free2tryPay2play game.

Hes saying Nintendo is makeing a mistake, from a business standpoint (with Super Mario Run).

I don't hate him. He just does is thing, he's not stupid and most of the time he's quite reasonable. While I don't agree with all of his convictions I don't think there is anything to hate about him.

Except of course when he says something slightly negative about my gaming brand of choice. Then he's the worst human being on earth.

The funny thing is that Nintendo fans have leveled harsher attacks on Iwata when he was still alive than all of Pachters comments about Nintendo combined.

Also great job of ripping a statement out of context from a 5 minute elaboration.

Please elaborate.

I don't see labeling Saturo Iwata as a "late and not so great" person supporting any argument I do.

His comment was obviously meant to reflect on him as a businessman and not a person. He goes on to show how his mobile approach with "pay to play later" will make Nintendo less money than actually making their games free to play with microstransactions.

Your out of context statement makes it seem like a baseless attack. I do not think it is unreasonable to attack Iwata on his business practices, especially looking at the Wii U and the very late entry into the mobile market.
