Random: Reggie's Most Touching Retirement Gift Was A Custom-Made Satoru Iwata amiibo

I mean, I certainly would like to have those amiibo personally. But I doubt they would be sold for less than a hundred and I don't have that type of money right now.
They certainly look amazing. I guess I should check out this person, see what else they have done.

@Liam_Doolan

There's a minor mistake in this sentence:

"Other than this amiibo, Reggie received a t-shirt from the 2007 Game Developers Conference featuring a picture of himself, Miyamoto and Iwata on it in amiibo form."

It's actually showing them in Mii form, not in amiibo form.

This just makes me upset that the biggest faces of Nintendo that I grew up with are almost all gone.

It's upsetting to think that even Miyamoto is also probably close to retirement. Hopefully the new generation of Nintendo upholds the lively spirit that they have always had. It's almost like looking at a family in some sort of sitcom instead of just a bunch of soulless PR heads. I don't want to lose that feeling.

@Varkster The thought of Miyamoto retiring does make me feel a little sad... though I have a little hope in the newer generation as games come out where he might be less "on the ground" so to speak.

@Varkster We tend to forget the bad things. 90s Nintendo was pretty good (I'd say the best). I don't think you have to worry.

I can't believe how awesome it must be to have been in a "gang" that consists of you, Iwata, and Miyamoto.

@sevex businessmen with integrity. A (literally) dying breed.

why'd she do that Reggie's nose though? like it seems like it was flattened by a
steam roller

...Onion-peeling ninjas snuck into my kitchen again I see....

Do these actually work as amiibo?

A plus side to being rich and famous.

And stop the crying you pansies. This isn't dr. Phil.

Iawata confirmed for Smash!

I wish Reggie had retired to become a Twitch Streamer or something silly like that.

@KingdomHeartsFan it's Koizumi, Takahashi and Furukawa now...the future is looking bright.

Everyone has their turn, motivate yourself and do what you can while your here. Even something small can change someone's life or your own.

@Baart and Bowser.

@Trajan People forget about Howard Lincoln. He did a lot of good things, too. I definitely don't want to take away from Reggie. The years with Iwata-san and their videos, as well as with Miyamoto-san will always have incredible memories for me. I hope we all enjoyed them, because those days are ending...

So does the Iwata Amiibo count as a Mii Swordfighter you apply it in Smash?

@Lone_Beagle True that. We are truly at the end of an era for Nintendo. Let us hope that the future is as bright as the past.

I'm not crying your crying!

@Heavyarms55 "I wish Reggie had retired to become a Twitch Streamer "

OMG PLEASE NOOOOOO!!!

@Lone_Beagle Howard's still there, he's not actively on the day-to-day but he's on the board still. Technically he's more directly involved than Reggie now.

That said everyone forgets about him because he was kind of a jerk. Just doing his job, just as Yamauchi wanted, yes, but the poopstorms he conjured up wielding government as an anti-Sega weapon, spinning controversy, and general ruthless anti competitiveness in the 80's. The guy's a lawyer, and a good one, but rode shotgun with Arakawa, running the company like a celebrity trial lawyer.

@PK_Willow This. Can't say that I agree with Kumazaki's approach to Kirby, but Koizumi has done an outstanding job with Mario and Zelda and Splatoon is rocking along okay.

Meanwhile we get things an astounding amount of things like "Kind Of" Mario Party, "Sort Of" Paper Mario, "Not Really Zelda" BotW, Other M 2 (canned, thankfully), and Star Fox Zero — all of which could have worked but needed severe polishing up — from our childhood veterans. It makes no sense. But with those things happening, I do look forward to seeing what the younger minds at Nintendo can cook up after likely needing to learn the basics from said veterans.

Thats Cute other then the people complaining about his Chair..
