I think Iwata has done a pretty good job with Nintendo. The DS and the Wii were very tough successes to follow up on, and that he managed to do it with at least one is impressive, and I seriously think the Wii U still has a chance to sell as many lifetime units as the Wii did last gen.
My problem is that he still makes talky-down games for kids. It's not like I want an M-rated Mario game with blood, sex, and guts (although that would definitely be interesting) but that I want something like Batman: The Animated Series. Something clean and energetic enough for kids, but complex and subtle enough for me to enjoy as an adult. Nintendo doesn't really deliver on that too often. Practically the only series that does this somewhat regularly is Zelda.
