1. Fine, but he's had 12 years to invest in a replacement. He hasn't created or heavily invested in one Western studio. It is an absolute joke.

2. I can't see anything to suggest that isn't just usual staff turnover. This is the studio that had four years between DKCR and their next 2D platfomer. Tropical Freeze was great, but if it takes a studio 4 years to create a linear 2D platformer, it's fair to assume the studio isn't exactly bursting at the seems with staff.

3. I don't really get what your point is for number 3. Metroid Prime was released in 2002 only months after Iwata became CEO. If you think it was Iwata who gave Metroid to Retro you're incorrect.

4. Jumpins point is Yamauchi lost Rockstar support. Which is true. But in no way argues against Iwata's poor record with Western support.

I think we are moving away from what my point originally was. We are not arguing that iwata is a good ceo or any of that. We are merely pointing out the lies and misinformation that the OP has been spouting in the thread. 

Does that makes sense?

If your goal was to convince me that Iwata has flaws in the way he manages nintendo. Then yes, i agree. You don't need to convinve me of that. I don't like BS and imaginary accounts of how an individual thinks an event went down
