Iwata.

RolStoppable said:
Yamauchi, because he probably wouldn't have made the Wii U and he also knew that a console is just a box that people buy in order to play Mario games. In the '90s he might have not known that Super Mario 64 is not an actual sequel to the Mario series, but after the success of the NSMB games in the seventh generation he would have damn well realized it and slapped Miyamoto if any objections were made to making more Super Mario Bros.

But Yamauchi wouldn't have made neither the DS nor the Wii, and Nintendo would now be the third one in the console wars, far behind the others, or a simple third party like Sega.

Please excuse my bad English.
