Meh, Nintendo already said they're making some changes around there (I think its so they can improve game development so we don't have to keep dealing with crappy console launches), this is probably one of them.

I knew I could count on you for a laugh! Sephiroth is getting a little old though so I give it about a 7/10.

Fair enough. Yeah, I should have used Fi or Cole Phelps or another newer game character. FFVII has really gone so far into being "that overrated game" that I don't think it's overrated anymore.

So any hope with Iwata now running NOA that Nintendo might start to bolster internal development in the region. If irrcc even through retro was a success NCL was afraid to invest more in western development houses due to not having anyone to oversea them (BS excuse) so the company just stuck with Retro and NST.

WAT!

Hey check out my awesome new youtube channel shingi70 where I update weekly on the latest gaming and comic news form a level headed perspective.

Who am I kidding, I'm just wasting my breath...

I concur with your sentiments but regret to concede that the hope is an impossibility. This is the internet, any intellectual and/or well intentioned dialogue will inevitably break down into a pile of mindless creatures hitting caps lock and banging their heads on the keyboard.

Though, for the record, some users here (such as cheaptrick) do not get on my nerves even when I disagree with them because they actually have a functioning brain, but others (I'll attempt to keep nameless) just stubbornly make up facts and distort truths to fit their biases. I've nothing wrong with some friendly arguing but when half the threads wind up looking the same after a couple pages, I really start to get agitated.

More on topic, I congratulate Iwata on his new position (whether it's a true promotion or more of a punishment) and hope that, one way or another, the company will benefit due to the managerial changes. Also, I really would like if Reggie left entirely, I think it would be quite easy for someone to outperform him. Then again, I don't know him personally, I just don't think he's done much to improve Nintendo. Except his resemblance to a purple Pikmin.

Funny considering that ol' Reggie has less hair on his head then a purple Pikmin does.

I think I can do with Iwata leaving, but I mean, imo, he's great.
Reggie, however, I don't think should be kicked. He's a great guy, and I think he's doing fairly well for Nintendo.
But anyways, even if Nintendo got a new president, you guys would complain about him, so I think Iwata's fine right now.

@ShadVJ
Not only do I think you may be targeting me(there are at least 3 people teaming up on me in every thread usually), but I might as well defend the others you are calling brainless, too.
I for one, don't make up BS 90% of the time, and the other 10% is on accident. You can call that being biased, but it's being just as biased to think people are stating 'supposed' facts that are actually true.
I've seen tons of people that think Apple and Sony are the know all, end all companies of consumer electronics comment on this site on an everyday basis.
It makes no sense to me that someone would ever go on a Nintendo site to talk about how every other company is better when they should theoretically be on the site of their actual favorite company.
Next time you insult ANYONE for not having a functional brain, I'm going to assume YOU DON'T HAVE ONE AT ALL.
I hope this puts things into better perspective. There is a difference between making mistakes on purpose and on accident. Jumping the gun and calling anyone biased automatically voids your argument, because that is IN FACT, an assumption.

ON TOPIC: IWATA IS COOL. LOL.

Iwata is only a footnote of the story...

Obviously this came out as a result of the Nintendo company's restructuring as a result of significant operating losses. I hoped Iwata was not crying yesterday when we has giving his report to Nintendo investors. Much like Apple Tim Cook (who by the way yesterday according to MSNBC people "Forbes reported that Apple is looking for someone to replace him"), Iwata's ass is also on the firing line for incompetence. Even if this is just part of Nintendo's restructuring plan pending shareholders' approval (this is only a plan & not yet approved), I'm seeing this as a punishment of the two CEOs (Kimishima & Iwata) as they're now given the tasks to divide the work of two people among themselves as oppose to Nintendo hiring two additional CEOs to replace the two retiring CEOs (Mori & Matsumoto) whom I think decided to retire with honor rather than working on a company marred by huge financial losses.

When someone is trying to figure something out, there has to be room for mistakes and error.

Yes. It's called 'being wrong'. It's okay for you to admit to that once in a while.

Thanks for those kind words ShadJV.

I do agree with you... "We can all agree to disagree on certain things without getting personal". I have no problems talking to some people here - you & Sony_70 in particular & the others who can argue on certain things without distorting facts. I sometimes disagree with Sony_70's views but I do find him as an individual who can stick with his talking points & argue with me without putting his foot inside my mouth. I sometimes talk about things that may sound against Nintendo but it doesn't mean that I'm against Nintendo. I'm for the Wii U & have no intention of going PS4 &/or Xbox 720. I do disagree on certain things that Nintendo been doing but I talk with facts & not mainly disagreeing to disagree.

It's frustrating to see some people here who when gets cornered will resort to distort facts in order get out when empty handed. It's fair to say to others that "If you have nothing to say that is substantial it's best that you close your mouth".

There is also a bit of grey area between "lying" and "ignorance".

As for Iwata, nothing much is really changing. He's overseeing America's operations and Reggie now refers to him directly.

This latest Nintendo move if become final will serve as a punishment for both the two CEOs (Iwata & the other) for their incompetence.

It's a crazy world when incompetence leads to more responsibility.

That's what I was thinking. I think it's much more likely a combination of the retirements, and that Iwata realizes how important it is for him to fix his ship, and he thinks he can do that better if he has more direct control over vital sections of their business. The American branch has been performing below the Japanese branch. Something is going wrong here that isn't there.

The real story here is not about Iwata. It's about...

"Nintendo losing a lot of money that instead of replacing the two retiring CEOs they decided to have the two other remaining CEOs cover for the work of the two retiring CEOs to cut the cost."

It's a cost cutting measure to make up for Nintendo's huge financial loss. This CEOs do get paid in millions. Nintendo came up with the decision yesterday after Iwata gave his quarterly report to Nintendo's investors. We all know about Nintendo's huge financial loss cuz it was reported the day before by Bloomberg.
