Iwata.
He presided over the most successful generation any console manufacturer has ever had with the Wii + DS, over 250 million systems sold in a single gen, and he set in motion the current meteoric success of the Switch.

Not really a comparison. Yamauchi:

-Led the company for over half a century and grew it from a small trading card company into one of the biggest companies in Japan.
-Made Nintendo a staple of the video game industry.
-Made himself one of the richest men in Japan.
-Resurrected the western video game market.
-Saw the company create some of the most valuable and beloved IPs in the world.

Not going to badmouth Iwata, but there's just nothing on his resume that matches that. Best you can say is that Nintendo reached new heights in the Wii/DS era (balanced with new lows with the Wii U).

I agree with both of these comments.

Both are good.

I also believe that Kimishima did a very good job.
