Furukawa is not Kimushima or Iwata. He is a business minded President. They other two are built different and heavenly. He is good for turmoil.
Kimishima was also a business man. Iwata was the only Nintendo president who came from a background as a game developer.
Read my comment again. Of the three Furukawa had the business only feel to him. Where as Kimishima had the Zeal of foresight and outreach aura. Iwata had it all 😇.
F=ma.
I can’t stand the blind fangirling for Iwata. He’s a good man but he also was responsible for one of Nintendo’s least performing consoles the Wii u
Sad but true. I get he’s dead but that’s no reason to treat him like a messiah. At the end of the day, he was only human and humans are imperfect.
Be careful…some are going to say that you’re speaking ill of the death.
joking aside, i completely agree with you. Iwata was just a human being…of course he did lots of good things and made a few mistakes along the way.
