That said, it's hard to tell how much of Nintendo's problem is Iwata and how much is...everything else going on behind the scenes. It's possible that a very large chunk of the company's employee base is working against Nintendo's best interests - and they might not even know it! I'm sure many folks at Nintendo thought a Wind Waker remake was an awesome idea.

Wind waker remake was an awesome idea, it took around 6 months to develop, cost very little to produce and has sold over a million copies. Pretty awesome idea if you ask me.

Many posts say they want Nintendo to become a completely different company. Yes, they do need to adapt but that doesn't mean toss away everything out the window and replace all in sight, it would be much better for them to improve what isn't working and improve upon the established.

I think Pachter should run Nintendo.

Iwata is wholly incompetent and should be replaced immediately. The Wii was a fluke and a fad so please don't credit anything but chance on its isolated success.

Don't forget about the DS which was another fluke.


What are you talking about? The DS had virtually no competition. What else would kids play, Vita? Vita is designed for a mature crowd, and this crowd has no time to play the Vita. When should I, a 29 year old man have the time to play a Vita? I don't commute and even if I did, I'm too old to play handhelds. 

Will the handheld business eventually be ousted by other mobile devices? Yes it will.

Ah, I see. It's clear that from now on any assessment you give about the video games market can be safely disregarded.


What demographic do you think the DS caters to? It's mostly kids under 14 years of age. There's a lot of kids in the world. There's also a lot of adults; few who are interested in playing a handheld. 

You are launching a system geared towards kids in a market virtually free from competition.

Iwata leave and Reggie take its place? It would be better for NoJ to just give full liberty to NoA, since Iwata took over, NoA have had a bad time, specially since they "skipped" E3. Iwata said it himself, he can only be his own radar in Japan, so I don't see why he hasn't given NoA its liberty once again, things should be better if he did. A Bill Trinen promotion for president, and Reggie being thrown back into marketing, sure Bill isn't as charismatic as Reggie, but Reggie atleast seems able to do some good marketing, if his pre-Nintendo years, are anything to go by.



COMG guide to points: 1 point = Raging. 2 points = Beasting. 3 points = Tearing it up. 4 points = Berzerk. 7 points = Rampage. 12 points = Burst. 15 points = god mode. 20+ points = DIVIDING BY ZERO!!! 40+ points = Youkai (originally Pokemon).

-1 = Negabeasting. -5= NegaRampage. -10 = NegaBurst

Honestly given the degree to which NoA is directly controlled by NCL (less so than NoE, but still FAR more than back in the Lincoln/Arakawa days), we really haven't seen what Reggie's acumen could be. Although if he really was the guy calling the shots on the project rainfall games, it doesn't paint a pleasing picture.
