NintenZone Social Thread: Shovel Knight Amiibo Hype Catastrophe (feat. Swamp)

[Curious Villager]

I do wonder what would happen next down the road. I did quite like Iwata's philosophies and idea's so I hope whoever they choose as his successor has just as good idea's too.

Or is that too early for me to think about?

I believe Nintendo has stated that they'll follow Iwata's philosophy, and I hear Miyamoto's currently the president

Considering pretty much every company has griefed with Iwata's loss...Maybe...Maybe they'll choose to take Iwata's advice and focus on fun. Wonder if Rockstar and WB had anything to say though

Today we honor a true visionary. Iwata-san, thank you for your passion for games. You will continue to inspire many generations.

This is what WB Games said, nothing from Rockstar on twitter

I see, that's good to know then.

And Microsoft has yet to say anything (that I've seen). Kind of disappointing, especially seeing as Sony was very quick to pay tribute.

Phil Spencer tweeted about it, That basically covers Microsoft

Sad day for Iwata-san’s family, friends, and gamers everywhere. His passion, creativity & leadership elevated our industry.

To be fair.

It's great to hear that all 3 of the worst publishers, EA, Ubisoft and WB are mourning. Rockstar saying nothing is kinda rude though

PETA saying that doesn't give me the warm fuzzies.

 

[Tree Gelbman]

I just did what I've failed to do (and realized he'd probably hate) since he passed away.

Had fun playing video games.

Played some Smash, some Splatoon, and a bit of Shantae.

I think just turning on your Wii U or 3DS and enjoying the Nintendo library is the best thing you could do to honor his legacy.

You know what? I'm going to beat KDL3, I distinctively remember Iwata's name on that, and although I've beated it in the past, I need a new 100% file on the Wii U. God bless Iwata

For some reason I really don't feel like PETA is being very genuine. I feel like that statement was just used to promote their Nintendo parodies

 

[Deleted member]

I have to agree.

We're all saddened by this.

But moping here for too long is only going to make things worse.

We should have some fun. It's what he always wanted. :D

The past can't be forgotten, because that's what builds our future.
But we shouldn't cry too long for those that are gone and instead, look in the future they were trying to build, since crying and moping won't make us move forward and will eventually make all their work and sacrifice pointless

 

[ThePenguinGamer0]

Who wants to play some Smash?

I feel like I need to play it right now.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

That's because PETA doesn't actually care about anyone or any creature.

They kill more animals than they save.

Pounds have a lower rate than their shelter.

Not only that but they're just concerned about being self righteous as opposed to actually doing good.

It's like if Tumblr was a company.

I would love to play but I'm not going to have access to my Wii U until next month.

About Miyamoto likely being the next president
http://mynintendonews.com/2015/07/13/wall-street-journal-shigeru-miyamoto-tipped-to-lead-nintendo/
PETA shouldn't have named and described their parodies if they were respecting Iwata. Especially Pokemon Black and Blue, a game that has no reason to exist as PETA forgot about the Happiness factor

 

[AreJay25]

PETA is scum. They only do these things for their own personal gain. Never forget that.

And Miyamoto as the next president? Hmm... I'd be down with that.

I remember getting it as my last game on Club Nintendo but stopped playing after Whispy Woods.
Guess I'll get around playing that.

 

[DaybreakHorizon]

I don't know how I'd feel if Miyamoto becomes President. I think he could do it, but once he's gone, then what?

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Miyamoto should stick to games in my opinion.

Lots of creativity.

Little business sense.

Still love him though.

 

[Strofirko]

I dunno about miyamoto presidency,maybe that guy who substitue him sometimes on japanese directs or even takeda.

 

[ThePenguinGamer0]

All this artwork is making me think about why we support characters for Smash and why fictional characters mean so much to us.

It's the connection we have with them that drives us to support them.

 

[Solfiner]

No way Miyamoto is becoming pres, he's too old and basically retired at this point.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Easily one of the better Kirby games.
I have another reason to thank Iwata. I made friends based on if we played games. Iwata helped me make friends. Had Iwata not been around, I wouldn't have met my boyfriend either. And he was a freelancer for a while. I have nothing but positive things to say about this man, outside the death of my father, death never really hit me. Both had rainbows around their deathdates too. If I could have met him in person in his life, I'd give Iwata a hug

 

[IceBreakerXY]

I'm gonna be honest i think Miyamoto should just retire.I don't think his ideals work anymore and he really not good in a head man.A great game designer but not right for a role like that

So the source focuses more on other quotes than the actual reason for the article being miyamoto.

and I cant actually read the evidence from the source without signing up. great.


Not sure how I fell about miyamoto as a president. he makes good games but has some outdated ideals. plus I have no idea how he would do in a pure business etting :x

 

[DoodleDuck97]

Smash bros get's it.
First game in For Glory I picked Ness.
Got Dreamland 64 as my stage with Ice Cream Island.
I thought nothing of it till I switched it up for Kirby.
I then got Onett with Smiles and Tears.
Its like the games knows :')
EDIT: Just a heads up Sever is undergoing maintenance for some reason.

 

[Deleted member]

Miyamoto is basically just a consultant now, I don't think he has directly worked on any games recently.
Much like when Iwata took place as president, it should be someone young to keep everything fresh

Yeah there was a scheduled maintenance today

 

[Frostwraith]

I've read news that Miyamoto was considering retirement. I don't see him as a successor to Iwata.

Also, I read up a little on bile duct cancer. It's a very rare disease with low expectancy of survival. Surgically removing the tumor is the only solution and even so, not 100% viable.

As harsh as this may sound, the moment Iwata was diagnosed with this illness last year, he pretty much had his days numbered unless he was really lucky. It's sad, but we know cancer, especially the rarer (and consequently more unknown) ones, isn't something easily trifled with.

New update hype?

Just trying to not think about Iwata

 

[DoodleDuck97]

Oh Wow.
Earthbound Iwata. This is a wonderful Picture :'D

 

[Cutie Gwen]

I think if any musical piece should fit Iwata, it's the one everyone's used for him in tribute videos, Smiles and Tears.
