I liked Iwata more than Yamauchi in many ways. However, I think the best president is still Yamauchi mainly because he literally made Nintendo big from the ground up. Nintendo went from being a small local Japanese card company to a massive iconic global entity that it is today thanks to Yamauchi.

Iwata did a lot of good for Nintendo too but he already had the luxury of Nintendo already being a big name.
