Basically this, for two additional reasons:
1) There is nobody who could succeed Iwata who does not already think like Iwata or was not hand-picked by him to be on the Nintendo board or have some position of merit in the company (no holdovers from the Yamauchi days who could advocate for a radically different direction).
2), which is pursuant to 1, is that Japanese companies very rarely, if ever, hire outsiders. A conservative company such as Nintendo absolutely would not, so you're out of options for people other than those listed in line 1
Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.
