ironically, Miyamoto’s latest games were under Iwata’s direction

Sticker star, color splash, and origami king were under his direction? If that’s true then I’m baffled.

Iwata asked Miyamoto to create games designed to take advantage of the gamepad.
Saying “under his direction” is a misunderstanding, he created those by iwatas’s Petition :)
Oh, also federation force and amiibo festival. Both approved by iwata :)
Not saying iwata is bad, he isn’t.
Unfortunately he passed away, only a “what if scenario” comes to my mind about his own plans for the switch, for example, the Nintendo switch online.

He ran the company into the ground with bad decision after bad decision, only staying in power by taking pay cuts. After he died Nintendo did far better. Man was a leech.

I like how the title is a reference to the old “Iwata Asks” segments they used to do, that had to have been intentional.

I’ll most likely be buying one. Iwata-san may not have been a perfect president, but he was as close as is humanly possible.
