@PtM No he is not, he is director and was general manager, and Sakurai is no dentist assistance just saying.
How about CEO Iwata, widely respected, and once 100% dentist assistance according to your grading. He laid the foundations for Switch, not the current CEO.
@RasandeRose GameGear sales would have been much better if Gameboy didn't exist. So in other words the one does influence the other significantly. It would be true if you compare the Switch with an Ipad or so. But both being an handheld game console, they are clearly into the same handheld market share.
I feel like NL is "slightly" downplaying the Steamdeck. NL only seem to show the reviews where the Switch is somehow mentioned in a positive way in comparison to the Steamdeck. I mean fans would still play Switch no matter what coz it has Mario, Zelda etc which are irreplaceable, but Steamdeck will also for sure eat up alot of Switch's market share. It is an undeniable nice piece of tech.
@ArcticEcho Wait till you see one in real life, suddenly you need one no matter how bulky it is. When I had my Vita and changed to the Switch it was the same worry.
@metroid02 Unless the buyer doesn't get 100% ownership of what he buys and that counts for buying up companies otherwise it is the same "When I buy something, I don't expect the previous owner to bring up any kind of freedom in the negotiation."
@ConCitySoldier Yeah, back in the days when you saw Iwata, Miyamoto or Reggie, you would want to get a picture with them, because they represented Nintendo and the gamers. Now these new Nintendo guys only appear in Financial times and they represent the shareholders only. I have to say that Xbox' Phil Spencer is the only current console gaming ceo who is doing some efforts to talk and listen to gamers.
Iwata and Reggie were real legends. I keep forgetting current Nintendo president/ceo's names... never mind they didn't do anything yet that is worth remembering their names anyway.
I m actually excited to see how Gigo is going to transform the Sega arcades. They must have a great long term plan when they decided to buy Sega arcades.
@Dark_Isatari It wasn't the most interesting show indeed, I mean compared to alot of Nintendo youtubers out there, it was kinda bland and stiff to be honest. But maybe it was because of the Nintendo inhouse rules that prevented them from doing anything off the script. If they host their own youtube channel it should be more interesting. Anyway wish them luck.
@CharlieGirl Nintendo is still a business. A business is mostly about making money. When the offer is right and the timing is correct, people would consider selling.

Re: Nintendo Minute's Kit And Krysta Say Goodbye In Their "Final Episode"
@Dark_Isatari It wasn't the most interesting show indeed, I mean compared to alot of Nintendo youtubers out there, it was kinda bland and stiff to be honest. But maybe it was because of the Nintendo inhouse rules that prevented them from doing anything off the script. If they host their own youtube channel it should be more interesting. Anyway wish them luck.
