Uh without him we have no Nintendo the greatest video game company ever.


That is true but he is also the reason why Nintendo is a tough spot with third parties. I do hold Iwata accountable for not imroving that situation, but don't gloss over the fact that Yamauchi was the one responsible for burning the brige with 3rd party developers.


True but toward the end of his tenure he did try to repair the relationships. By handing over Nintendo franchises like Star Fox and F-Zero to NAmco and Sega and allowing them to make arcade machines for them. He also had Nintendo put up money to get Developers like Square Enix  to make games for Nintendo system, although the most Nintendo really got out of it on their consoles was the Crystal Chronicles sub series.

But even with all that he showed a willingness to adapt while smartly pushing limits which sadly hasn't been the case with the most recent Nintendo console.
