The (often but painful) truth is that the company must go on. Especially when they had no idea it was going to happen so suddenly. For any company there needs to be a plan for things like this. Apple did it when Jobs was going through his health problems. Why wouldn't Nintendo?

So while there is time for mourning and grieving, there is also time for brainstorming on whats next for the company after the sudden passing of a CEO.


It's not saying, "forget the guy because business is more important," it saying "hey we need come up with something to keep the company going for the time being while were proceeding with CEO's passing."

Absolutly agree with this.

Considering he underwent serious surgery a year ago it's guaranteed that they've had a succession plan in place since then, if not much sooner. Whoever ends up taking on the CEO role, it won't be because they were chosen in the last 24 hours.

Whoever he is, we'll know in a few days. I don't think Nintendo has head for this right now.



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile

I'm going to wager that it will actually be Bill Trinen.

As an expert in localization and fluent Japanese speaker, he would be excellent person to really unite the different worldwide divisions of Nintendo.



I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016

I think Mr.Takeda or Miyamoto http://blogs.wsj.com/japanrealtime/2015/07/13/shigeru-miyamoto-seen-as-possible-nintendo-successor/

It's actually some of you guys who should be banned/warned for going so off topic with all that needless drama. Dude asked a legit question and you were all like he murdered your parents or something.

For those asking for this thread to be locked, it breaks no rules to my knowledge and therefore unless you convince the OP that it should be locked it will remain open. Continuing on this topic of discussion, however, instead of that the thread is meant for is decidedly against the rules and so I would advise against it.

The position of the mod team may change in the future, I don't speak for them all, but I personally am not going to lock a thread simply because you think its disrespectful when it breaks no rules. If you think it's disrespectful to have this discussion then just don't click on the thread, it's as simple as that.

Hopefully someone we don't know, because when I think of Nintendo's executives I don't really remember anyone who's in touch with the community and knows what people want.

That's their main problem IMO

Whoever it is should be a younger exec. with a vision that can lead the company for (hopefully) a long time.
