Now that Satoru Iwata (RIP) has passed away, what do you think will change at Nintendo?

Well, talk about a lack of respect to his memory.

But as with any situation when a loved one dies, you always think about who or what they leave behind. What will happen, what next? To ignore it till tomorro w is to not respect his life, what he has done. We honor it by already getting to work on his legacy, making it better, improving upon it, showing the world that Nintendo is the same as it ihas always been.

 

This is not lack of respect. When is the cutoff for respect? I respet him by talking about him. Keeping his memory alive.

Agreed, I think it's jumping to conclusions to say you lack respect by asking natural questions of "What's next?" If it's too soon for some people to talk about this until a few days pass, that's fine for them. But it doesn't have to be that way for everyone. Some (like you) want to look towards the future and contemplate how to honor Iwata's memory with what can change at Nintendo while still retaining the magic he brought to the company. 

So yeah, I think it's ok to make a thread like this. People process grief or sadness in different ways. This is one of them. Just know you might not get many constructive comments on your thread until a few days/weeks pass. 

On topic, I don't care who they pick. I'd like them to find someone within the "family" who knows the ins and outs of Nintendo operation and keeping that charm and accessibility to all ages present, but also has a good understanding of online infrastructure so they can reach the more hardcore audiences again.

Either way, I think they'll be fine and the spirit of Nintendo will remain. Through the company and through its fans.
