Sad to see him go, but I'm sure Nintendo will easily find a replacement!

You're severely mis-characterizing the situation. You should read Dan Adelman's blog (on dan-adelman.com) to learn more about what he did at Nintendo before being so judgmental.
He recognized the value of the indie gaming movement well ahead it's time and has supported a lot of indie devs in reaching their goals. Saying he 'begged and cried' is insulting -- he worked hard at empowering indie devs to monetize the Nintendo platform and getting some stiff-necked people at Nintendo to loosen up and embrace the indie movement.
I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016

You're focusing on the wrong parts of his tenure. You have him to thank for the Unity engine and games like Oddworld, Project CARs, Shovel Knight and many others coming to platform.

Don't be asinine.
If you bothered to look into it rather than going for the quick quip, you'd know he's responsible for the major changes to indie policy which has led to indie development becoming a bright spot on Nintendo hardware.

nintendo platforms were never really popular for indie's, so it's good imo to hire a new guy for the role

I thought I asked you to stop being asinine.
If you're ignorant of the indie scene on Nintendo platforms, that's fine. But no need to put it on display and be an ass about it too.

You want me not be asinine about it? Well ok: In the position that Nintendo is having with the 3DS they have by far the worst Indie scene of all the platforms.. PSN, Xbox Live, iOS and Android are way ahead of them.. I even would say that Ouya is ahead.. Is it better then before? Sure.. is it good.. meh.. to have games like gunman clive, Squids Odysee, Tengami, 1001 spikes ported over is not good enough.. With the lack of big 3rd party support the WiiU and the 3DS and the money Nintendo has because of the Wii they could have been THE indie console maker.. How long did it take them to have cross-buy? last month? Nintendo's indie support has been weak with no future vision behind it.. I hope his succesor does better..
