If things do change, they will be for the worse.

too soon anyone?
please at least wait til tomorrow.

I was going to make the same thread until I realize I should wait until things getting better.

On Topic: If the new CEO is the young guy, expect him to make some radical decision. Otherwise, nothing will change IMO.

We still don't know where Nintendo will be heading for , but replacing CEO will not just directly overturn the tide of Nintendo situations, The CEO must gain a trust, from all the share holder, and also changing or re infrastructure the whole Nintendo Organization should be follow when they replacing with the new guy and it will take some time. I hope they will be ready before the NX release.

Nothing will change cause all the people in the higher positons were put there by him

Woah I've really been out of the loop. What horrible news! This really came out of the blue...he will be sorely missed.

Nothing will change because the people with power at Nintendo all shared Iwata's vision for the future, and Iwata wasn't some King sitting on high, his decisions were and are made with discussion and consent with the other controlling heads of the company. What is a real loss, here, is that Iwata was a rare breed of person: good hearted, earnest, and he came from a background that few can claim in this day and age. He had insights usually not beholden to your normal CEO.

This is a Japanese company. Not an American one.

Iwata's road map for the future of Nintendo is set for a long time to come.

Hopefully share holders push the new leader to the absolute limit and Nintendo approaches mobile with full force.

A proper full Pokemon game on Android or iOS would be much appreciated.

Why does Nintendo NEED to be like the other two consoles, why? Why can't Nintendo cater to kids and family. I understand you havee grown up but that doesn't me Nintendo needs to. They need to keep gaming alive buy bringing in new kids. I'm sorry you want Nintendo to grow up but you have PC, Xbox,PS to play and please do so

Too soon.
