Fuck. I was done crying, but not anymore. That is beautiful.
See that's the thing. The most major criticism of the man boils down to him being a CEO that was too naive and idealistic about the modern market. As character flaws go that's a pretty damn good one.I'm really upset over this. I've been critical of the man's business strategy for a while now, but all through that, I wanted him to be right, because I respect his vision for the industry. He stood up for his values about what gaming should be instead of chasing the quick buck and looked out for his employees. He's played a major role in shaping the medium. He was a man of integrity.
A tribute I painted tonight.
Maybe I missed it, what is the translation for this? I'm already teary based on the pic.
Miyamoto is not suited at all for a CEO position, at least from his profile. I think the one who is going to be interim CEO until the next shareholder reunion (something I expect pretty soon) is Mr. Kimishima
mentions of Iwata on twitter have reached over half a million.

We never did get another Nintendo Direct from him did we?
I still hope this happens
this would be perfect
I think as its miyamotos duty to do it. i remember when yamauchi presented iwata as the successor. people where like "why not miyamoto?". Iwata was largely unknown then.
miyamoto has been he face and the symbol of nintendo since 1985. unlike in 2002 when iwata took over miyamoto has been a senior corporate guy (and not director) for quite spme time now.
I dont say miyamoto can replace iwata. He has became such a symbol since 2002. However i can really feel that everyone at nintendo might be devestated now since such a huge figure in their corporate identity has hone now. Miyamoto would be someone who may lead those people in such difficult times.
fuck
crying
We never did get another Nintendo Direct from him did we?
