I didn't think that was even a NOE for the longest time. But I did know there was a NOA thanks to all the deals that Howard Lincoln pulled off. Plus NoA created Star Tropics which was one of my favorite games on NES. Iwata might have turned them on their current path, but he dismantled NOA which had their own developers and game deals. I think Nintendo would be in a much better state if this didn't happen.

Iwata never dismantled NOA he gave them more power to make their own moves this is why Reggie has the power to decide what games come over to the states outside of the major franchises, NOA's own developers and deals were gone before Iwata became President. Such deals are decided by NOA themselves, the branch themselves just operate in a different manner to the Lincoln era.
