So far he hasn't screwed things up. Iwata still is the best president of Nintendo ever. Iwata never kicked me out of his house to keep playing Animal Crossing. Unlike Reggie! The jerk!

I wonder when we'll see him pop up in a direct. He speaks English fluently from what his bio said. It'd be great to see him show up to announce something.

Lol Iwata used to always have good approval ratings then once everyone find out they'd come on the forums and preach how behind the times Nintendo was and how Iwata should be fired and that "Iwata will never be voted out because he hired all of the board of directors..." and.. it just kept going and going lol

I would love to know the mindset and rationale of someone who would vote against Miyamoto, lol.

Must be the 23,299 shareholders that played Sticker Star.

Sticker Star sold way better than that.

But that's probably all the people who played Color Splash.

Nintendo is doing great right now and seem to have a great course for the future. I think the leadership is doing excellent.

Nintendo has been having some great leadership lately, their only weakness is their terrible online offering.
