Compared to how soulless nintendo is now, no.

Was basically their only hope.

Nintendo is where is it right now because of him. We'll have to see what happens after the Switch.

Iwata was the SOUL of Nintendo.

Overrated hack. Guy was a codemonkey, literally never made a good game in his life. Watching people shit on Miyamoto who literally created video games as we know them today while calling Iwata anything but a cardboard cutout makes me seethe.

>We'll have to see what happens after the Switch.

No need to wait, here's a sampler of what awaits in the Furukawa era.

don't forget the fucking Illumination Pictures Mario movie.

He was it's savior shame he had an "accident" like Gunpei Yokoi so Nintendo could do mobage.

>This Summer

>what happens after the Switch.
they wise up and start releasing games on PC. consoles are a dying breed.

miyamoto didn't make a worthwhile thing in his life. zelda was just a ripoff of other popular games around the time. he's said so in interviews.

How much of that soul went into the Wii U?

nintendo died with him, RIP Iwata

Bullshit.
And he made more than one game
And Zelda was unique
Wrong on three accounts in one post. Miyamotohaters really are braindead...

This faggot unironically will be the president to make Nintendo stop making games and hardware. Thankfully COVID slapped their heads with a giant wet dick.

Now that New Horizons sold like hotcakes they can stop siphoning so much into mobile, and hopefully the Mario movie will bomb critically. That just leaves the theme park, but again COVID shows us that not even those alternate revenues are safe from something like a pandemic, but game spending goes up due to everyone staying home. Ironic.

He was clearly the glue keeping it together. Nintendo went to complete shit right after he died

Reminder to go wash your ass

>zelda was unique

not really.
>miyamotohaters

no one hates miyamoto. you're needlessly defensive. take your meds.

That just says home consoles. As long as Nintendo is still making games, that's all that matters.

Considering variety and third party relations have improved I would say yes

I don't hate Iwata, but he let Nintendo be hands off with Pokémon because one of his first roles at the company was to establish TPC. Look at the direction Pokémon is taking now. Just soulless money grabbing shit that needs a game every year to sell toys.

Continuing to keep the casuals out of gaming is a bad thing... How?

>but he let Nintendo be hands off with Pokémon
They were always hands off with pokemon.

Why risk resources in improving an already proved formula if your fanbase will buy your product anyway?

>iwata
shit
>fukuruwa
shit
>kimishima
He was the chosen one

This. Nintendo died with him.

Holding Nintendo back from being ultra-greedy shits.

If you mean by preventing nintendo from doing stupid shit, then yes he was.

Holding them back from becoming like everybody else, yes.

Despite the fact that the partner debacle was done under him.

No? Nintendo was shit with him and they are shit without him. If anything Miyamoto's stupid old ass is who is really holding them back.

Nintendo hasn't released a single good game since his death

this. he needs to retire.
