This morning, April 1st, Nintendo announced a new way to communicate directly with their fans. With the success of Nintendo President’s “Iwata Asks” series, alongside the infamous “Nintendo Direct” series, this new direction has Satoru Iwata responding to questions directly via Twitter, Facebook, Skype and other various social media. Fans came in the thousands to pound the CEO with questions regarding Wii U, Bayonetta 2 and why Sonic sucks.
At the heart of Iwata’s tenure at Nintendo was a philosophy of listening.
In 2015, Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata sadly passed away. Dear friend and EarthBound creator Shigesato Itoi compiled his musings as a tribute.
Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa recently sat down with Nikkei to discuss his approach to leading the company through the current Switch era, as well as what influences past presidents like Satoru Iwata and Hiroshi Yamauchi had on him.
nothing wrong with him per say but he just feels kinda lifeless compared to Iwata and lacks the tough guy almost Yakuza vibe Yamauchi gave off
This guy is a penny pincher and has no love of gaming. It is obvious in the half assed ports he is pushing. Iwata we miss you.
Is April fools over yet?
"This morning, April 1st" stopped reading there.
These'journalists' need to stop going to school for writing. It's a talent, not something you learn. Jesus, such poor writing skills.
That picture looks like something a kid would do on paint.
Iwata pay cut incoming....
So basically, selfish entitled gamers ruined something meant to be useful for people who actually care about gaming or this was a very poor attempt at an April Fool's joke....either way it's awful.
