It's been one year since Iwata passed away.
Iwata worked with Masuda and the team at Game Freak to save storage space in order to fit more content into Pokemon Gold and Silver. That content being the entire Kanto region.

>Do you know what you have just done!?
>You took your first step on Kanto!
Think of the smiles on children's faces when they heard this.
The Kanto region, where they had taken their first Pokemon journey, was now spread out for them to take a whole new journey in.
If it wasn't for Iwata, this moment would never have happened.
You would never have been able to see all of the Gym Leaders you'd fought before. Brock, Misty, Lt. Surge, Erika, Sabrina, and even old Blaine.
You'd never giggle while interrupting Misty's date.
You'd never be shocked to see Koga in the Elite Four, with his daughter taking his place at the Fuschia City Gym.
You'd never be horrified to see Cinnabar Island reduced to almost nothing from a volcano, with the fiery Blaine's gym relocated to the Seafoam Islands, the place you knew was full of ice.
You'd never be surprised to see Blue, your former rival, take Giovanni's place at the Viridian Gym, with his mixed bag team to throw you off.
You'd never climb up the foreboding Mt. Silver, only to come face to face with the character you played as before, still as silent as ever, ready to take you on in your final challenge.
None of this would have been possible without Iwata.
I legit cried when I heard he died. Fucking sucks I'll never hear that welcoming voice in a Direct anymore.
We didn't deserve him.

>His last public announcement was an apology for the last year's E3
That saddens me the most.
>>27094609
Dammit OP, I just want to sleep not to feel.
Yeah, it's legit depressing.
I heard Nintendo's new CEO's background is far less into game design itself. Is that true?

The king is dead.
Long live the King.
Iwata would have never allowed the cancer that is go see the light of day
>>27094765
He helped start the project.
He began Nintendo's development in mobile games.
You are retarded.
All you had to do wasplease understand
>>27094609
why
>Page 7
for fucks sake, i bet normalfags don't even know who Iwata was
>>27096554
Who? Did he work on Pokemon GO? I'm a huge fan of Pokemon, you know, but only the first 150, before it got too hard to keep up.
>>27094693
That's true, but Nintendo has plenty of the old guard left, and the new blood has a future (Splatoon proves that). The old and new work well together as well, if 3D World and BotW are anything to go by. Nintendo needs solid business planning right now. It isn't in danger of failing or anything, it just needs good investment to keep on track.
Iwata will forever be missed. Truly the truest definition of a game lover and a game creator.RIP in peace Yamauchi, you were a hard man with hard opinions, but by god you got shit taken care of.

It was like seeing your grandparent on their deathbed.
>>27094653
I wish masuda died instead
>>27100089
This.
>>27100095
I wish masuda would just die anyway lol. He has never been anything of value
Went past Nintendo Kyoto literally the day before he died. Was pretty surreal when the news came out.
>>27094685
What happened? I don't remember.
