What would the new Nintendo games be if they didn't have the same iconic soundtracks of the 80's and 90's? What would Nintendo of today look like if they couldn't use the franchises CREATED during the Yamauchi era? What if Iwata's Nintendo had to create their own legacy from the ground up in a hostile envoriment like we have today in the way Yamauchi had to when the indstury crashed? Yamauchi's era was about innovation and creating experiences that literally changed the entire industry permanently. The Nintendo of the 80's and 90's was about forward thinking and vision. It was about taking huge risks. It was about spending large amounts of money on those risks. It was about foresight and attitude. Iwata doesn't seem to want any part of that. He seems more than happy with the status quo and treading water. |
Because putting two screens on a handheld and making motion controls as the primary input method on a vastly underpowered console when literally no one else had the foresight or the balls to do anything similar isn't innovative and taking huge risks? The Wii and DS were "status quo" when nothing like them had ever existed before?
