Screamapillar on 31 January 2013
I would not like to see Iwata go. He is the only reason there is still a Nintendo at all. Had he not reversed course from the GameCube and decided to go in a more mainstream-friendly direction with the Wii and DS instead of simply adding more buttons and better graphics, Nintendo today would have an even smaller market share than what they had during the GameCube era.
Yes, there have been misses. But there have also been a LOT of wins. Just remember that Nintendo banked more than $10 billion in reserve cash during the height of the Wii and DS phenomenon due to his decision to take the company out of the "Nintendo-fan only" niche that was the GameCube.
The Screamapillar is easily identified by its constant screaming—it even screams in its sleep. The Screamapillar is the favorite food of everything, is sexually attracted to fire, and needs constant reassurance or it will die.
