Iwata is best Nintendo CEO.

I think so. Step down, I mean. The company is stagnant right now.

Just as I was thinking, I personally feel dev groups such as Next Level Games, Intellegenet System,  Alpha Dream and Retro Studios evolve Nintendo IPs which explain why I'm more excited for Mario & Luigi 4 then Super Mario 3D world. This topic I created a while back will explain my fusteration if your interested

But you have more pixels per inch. So in other words your games look sharper ;)

Not really feeling ripped off. Since launch, I've bought 5 Wii U games, one of which I played for 3 months solid, only now receding from MHTriUltimate to move on to KOTOR II on Steam.

I see people say this over and over again, but it normally gets countered with the point of "Ken Kutaragi" (I'd expand on it, but I'm sure you're aware of the story behind that).

Past successes does not equal future stability.  Nor does past success mean that someone is the right person for the job after repeated mistakes.  He pulled a blinder with the Wii & DS, but they are in the past now.

I don't have any feelings one way or another about Iwata's resignation, I just thought that was worth pointing out anyway since no-one had brought it up yet.

owning a Console that is on the top of VG weekly sales ATM =/= Stagnant :P

You should try Pikmin if you havn't before. I didn't think I was going to like it, but it ended up being the reason I chose Gamecube over Xbox. I havn't spent a lot of time with Killzone or inFamous. They just don't really do it for me. I should probably play Killzone 3 though, since my friend moved to Amsterdam for 6 months just to work on it.

The problem I see with the constant Iwata debate is that he hasn't failed yet, Wii U sales are often compared to the Wii's by people which the latter was an exception in launch sales, the U right now is selling what the PS3 and 360 were selling during the same period. All of Iwata's platforms (DS, Wii, 3DS) so far have gone on to do well after their launch year, no one brings up the 3DS anymore and only one of his platforms came out flying from the start (Wii). Iwata is the only gaming higher up to really overcome a brand as strong as the Playstation brand and did it so from a severely weakened market position that alone means he deserves some space to see if he's on the right track, we'll get a better idea of whether Iwata has the right vision for the U by the end of next year when competition is around.

I personally like how he's turned the company around and his open approach.

My experience was dragged down by me making bad decisions that I had no idea I was making, and the fact that the game was biased towards Melee classes (a fact that, at least, they made explicit in II for choosing characters). Supposedly the gameplay in II is a bit more balanced, and I have more idea of what I'm doing this time...
