In recent years, particularly in 2025, everybody is reminiscing about when Iwata and Reggie controlled Nintendo and preaching about how they were so much more "pro-consumer" and "listened to the fans".Do people seriously not remember the many controversies of their era? Or are zoomers just too young to even know what happened back then?>the infamous e3 2008 and e3 2009 conferences, which were a giant middle finger from nintendo to all of their long-term fans>the entire period between 2008-2010 when there was a legitimate fear nintendo would completely stop making traditional games like mario, zelda, metroid etc and would focus entirely on "Wii *insert gimmick here*" shovelware>the imposition of the draconian Mario Mandate from the years 2009 to 2016, where literally EVERY SINGLE MARIO GAME whether it was a mainline game (eg. 3D Land, 3D World) or a spin-off (eg. Mario & Luigi, Paper Mario) HAD to conform with the aesthetic and gameplay styles of New Super Mario Bros>the abysmal state of online functionality on wii, wii u, DS and 3DS (which was intentional on iwata's part because he believed online multiplayer was "dangerous" for children)>the myriad cases during the wii u/3DS era when they took down fangames like AM2R and pokemon prism, in a fashion even more draconian than anything they do now>that moment in the early 2010s when they started cracking down hard on youtubers and streamers trying to monetize nintendo game-related content (these restrictions would not be relaxed until after iwata died and reggie left the company)>reggie/NoA initially refusing to localize xenoblade on wii because a JRPG targeted at core gamers didn't fit the casualized image they wanted to projectI could go on and on. It's seriously astounding just how much bullshit Nintendo pulled during the Iwata and Reggie days, and they've been completely forgiven for it because zoomers would rather whine about how "Switch 2 bad!"
>>724255353They're mindless grifters anon. Nintendo has been shit for decades even during iwata's time. Any good games coming out from them was DESPITE them not BECAUSE of them. I can't imagine paying money for the GameCube when the PS2 and Xbox were right there. Boggles the mind quote honestly.
>>724255353westoids seething nintendo is no longer pandering to them and throwing a tantrum pretending the goycube/3ds era was good and not what almost killed nintendo with the westoid pandering
is because for modern nintendo fags their first games were freaking wii sports and brawl. N64 is le retro and Animal Crossing the standard.They have no concept of quality, have no idea who yokoi is, and will never in their crappy lives touch a SNES full of games of all demographics imaginable.
>>724255353it's obviously not organic, it's just a cynical move to instrumentalize the death of a charismatic figureyou shouldn't even have wasted your time posting this, it's useless they'll be back posting the same bullshit tomorrow

tl;dr of this thread:>I was embarrassed to be a Nintendofag during the Wii/U so now I hate all their games made under Iwata
>>724259361>I was embarrassed to be a Nintendofag during the Wii/Uliterally me, is why i dropped nintendo for good, enough embarrasment during the wii days to keep going.
>>724255353>preaching about how they were so much more "pro-consumer"Nintendo still is pro-comsumer. They make games consumers want to play. The only people who claim Nintendo are anti-consumer are idiots who seethe because Nintendo protects their IP
>>724260670>Microsoft is pro-consumer because they sell and maintain the best-selling video game of all time
>>724255353No idea but I've never understood it. The Wii era was successful but it also started Nintendo's obsession with low power gaming and extreme casualization, both of which we're still feeling the effects of today. The Wii U era is self explanatory. Iwata is directly responsible for the stuff /v/ hates about Nintendo but they jerk him off nonetheless
>>724260763>Iwata caused $80 games>Iwata caused $80 controllers>Iwata caused Nintendo to have brainworms and make more and more of their franchises open world/sandbox junk food

>>724255353It happened with the GameCube too where suddenly everyone loves it. Just like with the GameCube, the people who are saying how much they like the Wii now are just old enough to have a voice online. I do agree that the Wii and that era was fun and interesting despite the lows. I always felt like this even after getting shit on for decades. I also always preferred that to GameCube era and learned I'm apparently a casual which I don't look at as a negative these days anymore like I did when I was younger
Yes, but DS and Wii was ME childhood, so good actually :^)
imagine if the wii and ds were released today the endless shitposting they'd provoke in this indian board
>>724255353The Wii will be 20 years old next year. Nostalgia for that era of Nintendo and the 2000s in general is rising.
>>724261473that happened at the time.
>>724255353Also>Paid DLC and amiibo locked content was introduced during Iwata>Nintendo made a free to start 3DS game full of microtransactions>Chargers weren't included with the New 3DS >they were still doing lawsuits and piracy takedowns back then
>>724259361real ones know that the wii/wiiu era was way superior to switch times.
>>724261281also:>paid online>frequently adopting the model of releasing games noticeably unfinished/underfeatured to meet deadlines and gradually finishing them with small content patches (or sometimes cutting shit out that was blatantly designed FOR the base game to sell as $20 DLC soon after release)>Amiibo for 40-50 goddamn dollars>still using drift-prone potentiometer ALPS sticks on controllers they charge $90-100 for>creative leads of franchises publicly showing contempt for entries that came out before the Switch and the fans who still like them>exploiting nostalgia more than ever before with more overpriced rereleases and obscenely overpriced retro accessories>patenting gameplay mechanics because they're sore losers over seeing a competing game in a genre actually net a ton of players>taking up more time in general Directs to shill non-vidya shit, including movies Sony ironically doesn't even do this nearly as egregiously in their SoPs lol
>>724259361Basically. If you liked the Wii, you weren't a real gamer like the PS3 and Xbox 360 gamers. Those were the true, HARDCORE gamers. If you liked the Wii, you weren't hardcore. You were just a casual like your grandma and aunt who just played Wii Sports all day! LOLOLOLBy the way, for people reading this reply, this was legitimately the mindset had back then. Even people who reviewed Wii games had it and you could tell in the undertones of their reviews.
>>724262119>taking up more time in general Directs to shill non-vidya shit, including moviesOh no, a one minute teaser of the new mario movie
>>724257538Brawl is based though.
>>724262751And museum shit that most people won't give a shit about or even have ready access to. And a theme park. And a fucking marathon.
>>724261867I was there for all three, and not really. There's good games in every era. Switch has Kirby and the Forgotten Land, which is way better than the Kirby games on Wii and Wii U, and Metroid Dread, which is way better than Metroid Other M.
>>724255353>>the infamous e3 2008 and e3 2009 conferences, which were a giant middle finger from nintendo to all of their long-term fansE3 2009 was fine. It had great announcements for hardcore fans Metroid Other M (before we knew the game was shit obviously, Galaxy 2, Bowser's Inside Story, Golden Sun 3, and the first tease of Skyward SwordIt was just E3 2008 that was a dud. E3 2009 was good and E3 2010 was great.>the entire period between 2008-2010 when there was a legitimate fear nintendo would completely stop making traditional games like mario, zelda, metroid etc and would focus entirely on "Wii *insert gimmick here*" shovelwareOnly mouthbreathing retards seriously believed this. E3 2008 sucked shit, but even Iwata said "we're still committed to hardcore gamers" after the backlash. There was still plently of core-focused games on the Wii and DS during this time period.>the imposition of the draconian Mario Mandate from the years 2009 to 2016, where literally EVERY SINGLE MARIO GAME whether it was a mainline game (eg. 3D Land, 3D World) or a spin-off (eg. Mario & Luigi, Paper Mario) HAD to conform with the aesthetic and gameplay styles of New Super Mario BrosThis is true and sucked.>the abysmal state of online functionality on wii, wii u, DS and 3DS (which was intentional on iwata's part because he believed online multiplayer was "dangerous" for children)This is true but online gaming is fucking gay and led directly to enshittification monetization with cancerous DLC, MTX, and service game shit. Nintendo's infrastructure was shit, but being a luddite during the generation where the rest of the industry got insanely greedy was a blessing in disguise.Rest of the post I generally agree with. The Iwata/Reggie era was great, Iwata was definitely the best CEO they've had and was very down to earth and honest. But it wasn't perfect.
>>724259361>during the Wii/U for me it was the goycube era but otherwise spot on
>>724261281>>The company that ushered in $80 gamesthat was snoy and microjeets>>Got rid of gold points ahead of the Switch 2 release with nothing to replace them, also getting rid of the game vouchersprobably the only real argument here>>Making you pay for Switch 2 upgrades by adding shitty tacked on DLCwould you rather have them sell you a full priced remake like snoy and microjeet do?>>Raising the price of their 8 year old previous gen system>>$90 pro controller and $100 joycons>>$50 amiibosblame orange man and the kikes he bootlicks with those tariffs
>>724263750Yeah Other M was a massive announcement in 2009. People were hyped
>>724255353Retards have parasocial relationships with iwata/Reggie (among the worst of them is the gamecube nostalgia crew), Nintendo was better before and after them
I grew up with the Wii (got it back in 2010) and remember feeling most of the games were mediocre or just gimmicky. I also remember being disappointed with the Wii U, it's TV feature, not being able to take it anywhere and even the 3DS just having a lack of games too.I remember hearing about the copyright notices on youtube with the "nintendo creator's program" and the Amiibo prices being awful.I think nostalgia blinds a lot of people and towards the end, Nintendo had hit it to big to really be able to match (like any company) but that era was better than what we have now.Then again, Reggie is retired and Iwata died unexpectedly without anyone to fill in his shoes.
>I grew up with the wii
Nintendo fags don’t realize Nintendo has been shit since the GameCube (and started showing cracks during the N64 era)
>>724263861>that was snoy and microjeetsNo it wasn't though? your next argument is BUT MUH DOOM DARK AGES SPECIAL EDITION PRICE>would you rather have them sell you a full priced remake like snoy and microjeet do?No. I'd rather them decouple performance updates from piddly content additions. Stop trying to shift everything to Sony and Microsoft you stupid faggot.>blame orange man and the kikes he bootlicks with those tariffsPro Controller 2 was still going to be $80 and JoyCon 2s were still going to be $90 before Nintendo used tariffs as an excuse to penny-pinch harder. Those are still outrageous prices for controllers (especially, again, for still having stick mechanisms that have been prone to developing drift for nearly a decade now).
>>724262119>>creative leads of franchises publicly showing contempt for entries that came out before the Switch and the fans who still like themWith how goycubers act I would also have contempt for them.And I do.
I see they have a new funny boogeyman term they're going to run into the ground, guess the old one ran out of steam or something
>>724264153Yes, I did. And that's not only common, it's going to be the most common phrase you'll hear the next 10 years.Get in with the times old man
Past good, present bad, future worse, shit people have been saying since forever.
>>724264417They were all right.
goyim be like "iwata/reggie era was better" but they can't name a single game they liked from that era aside from melee and MAYBE the "le mature" zeldas
>>724262869i like it, specially with mods.I don't think is good though, and is a big downgrade from n64 and melee, and i don't mean in the smelly way.
>>724255353Wii, DS and 3DS were amazing, actually.Stop being a gay
>>724264390you are the oldman anon, most kids grew up with phones and fortnite. Even minecraft is oldman shit these days.
>>724255353The pedo and prostitution evil company.>Nintendo’s Association With Organized CrimeWhat a better way to promote such love hotels than through the notorious Yakuza clan (Japanese Mafia). They ran the sex industry at the time (and probably still do), and therefore they tried to lure Hiroshi Yamauchi into a deal where their prostitutes could use the love hotels. Many people Fusajiro Yamauchi, the founder of Nintendo, was the one who created connections with organized crime.>One thing led to another and more crimes started to appear under Nintendo’s name, such as gambling. At this point, Nintendo’s name made sense as the translation from Japanese would be something like “equally unclear,” or a more specific translation, “leave luck to heaven.”

Introduced and popularized post-launch monetization practices like DLC, Microtransactions, and Games-As-A-Service design philosophies.Meanwhile Nintendo has the best monetization practices in the entire AAA industry.

Charging $80 for a complete game with zero monetization should be the standard.I'd much rather pay $70-$80 for complete experiences than $60 while getting jewed by DLC and game design meant to sell MTX.You are truly retarded if you think otherwise.

>>724265408The DKB DLC was release months after launch.DKB was also a game Nintendo said was finished well before launch and they sat on for the Switch 2's launch window. They were likely working on the DLC after the game went gold in 2024.
>>724255353Wii/DS era you could argue they were antagonistic towards "core gamers", but they were not as anti-consumer as they are now. The anti-consumer Nintendo we know now started towards the end of Iwata's era during the Wii U/3DS and has only gotten worse
>>724255353>that moment in the early 2010s when they started cracking down hard on youtubers and streamers trying to monetize nintendo game-related contentDidn't this backfire because no one played their games?
the difference was nintendo back then wasn't anti-consumer they just made dumb decisions that only affect their own gamesthe patent trolling is blatantly illegal corporate maneuvering and has absolutely nothing to do with making good games, in fact nintendo has given up even trying to make anything good and just wants to sabotage everyone else.drop another fucking nuke on kyotosega fucking won

>>724261281>>724262119What's supposed to be anti consumer here? I mean, the closest thing there are the tariff price hikes and they raised everything but the system itself which is the important part.A lot of it is also just made up like creators showing contempt, exploiting nostalgia, patenting as a response to a game that used your idea as if you can even do that nor is it even relating to the consumer.
>>724262918So basically you're mad that they had one minute segments in multiple directs?Were you also this mad when amiibo were announced?
>>724269272Well does it really matter if they're exclusive or not if the majority will play them on PS anyway?
Wii U babies are old enough to think the grass is greener on the other side. That's literally it.Not saying everything about the Wii/Wii U era was bad or the Switch era is perfect, but as someone who actually owned a Wii U, I can say that I would never wanna go back to those times, that's for sure
>>724255353>the abysmal state of online functionality on wii, wii u, DS and 3DS (which was intentional on iwata's part because he believed online multiplayer was "dangerous" for children)I'm not going to comment on the rest, but if this is what Iwata really believed, he was vindicated a thousand times over.
>>724255353It's just nostalgia. I'm 35 and I feel nostalgic for the DS/Wii era even though I hated everything about the Wii and all the stuff Iwata did. I imagine the nostalgia is even stronger for people who were kids back then.
It's insane Nintendo fans like pic related who have formed parasocial relationships with Iwata and Reggie and act as though they were perfect and never did anything shitty
>>724269681If he was here at the time he probably was. /v/ shat on amiibos as physical DLC right from when they were announced. The figures themselves have gotten more expensive since then but these days it's just early unlocks of shit you can get normally so it's easily ignored.
Wii wasn't perfect but it was interesting.>>724270043Wii u wasn't good but at least it had controllers with 80 hour battery life.
i love how insane nintendofags are going lately. people shitting on nintendo is really getting to them. ive heard people nintendo podcasts (kit and krysta, gonintendo, etc) and even a dedicated resetera thread about them coping and seething about "negativity"

>>724273731>Has a series Xprobably the most surprising thing in the NDSdeen sagai thought he was a generic snoy
The idea of Nintendo being pro-consumer in any capacity is a joke. Consider that the US Government had to step in when the NES was marketed; Nintendo demanded a monopoly of retail shelf space or they would pull out of the store entirely, which is why Sega and NEC couldn’t get a foothold in the USA during the time of the NES. It was only when the Fed slapped Nintendo’s dick that the Genesis was able to have its runaway success.
>>724275243oh boy dont look up the stuff snoy did during the ps2 era, you will have an aneurysm
You can add the Classic Controller to the list. Built like an SNES controller with sticks for the first 3.5 years, cost $40, but didn't actually get you an additional controller for multiplayer because it was still plugging into the Wiimote. Asking you to pay for the luxury of subverting the Wiimote's design. (The wide support for the Gamecube controller was excellent but only offsets this a bit since the support was incomplete and ONLY the existing Ninty faithful really benefited).Or the Wii shop using a custom point currency system and all purchases only being recorded locally on your individual syst- oh geez we can just keep going can't we?They had the admittedly funny cult of personality thing going on with those two. The Iwata Asks interviews were also pretty neat and gave the impression he had some care the for product itself. Which I wouldn't entirely doubt given where he came from.>>724257538I don't give this nearly enough thought, but yeah, this makes quite a bit of sense. If it is your first go round with Nintendo you might not notice so much. I liked the Wii a good deal and still do, but WHEW, after that product cycle it was the last Nintendo machine I got, barring any fortuitous chances to get something cheap.
>>724275867Elaborate. The PS3 Gen felt more of an egregious example considering what Sony did to geohot and Lik-Sang
>>724276569It's too short of a tale to put on a 4chan post and well worth looking up on your own, but snoy threatening to blacklist devs off ever releasing on PS hardware if they released multiplats instead of exclusives is somehow the least scummy thing that happened during that era from them.
>>724274294Last one I owned was the Wii U, but it would have been the original Wii if the Wii U didn't have the gamepad (which apparently I was one of the 3 people in the world who looked at that and saw stupid amounts of potential).

>>724257538Nintendo never had good games. They're all meaningless kiddies games where you do menial stuff.I just bought a N64 so shut the fuck up.
>>724255353Yamauchi >>> Iwata > fucking cancer > FurukawaIwata was responsible for blue ocean bullshit. Furukawa is responsible for turning Nintendo itself into bullshit. Yamauchi oversaw the golden era. Nintendo is dead.
>>724261473And for a good reason. Shitty gimmick toys.
>>724264153I am 29 years old and grew up with the Wii. It's the only console to get my mother who doesn't even like video games outside of the old classic Sonic games back into video games. The Wii true to its name was truly revolutionary.
>>724273731>>Has a switch 2 he constantly plays with his family mario kart with.When did he say that
>>724278320He didn't. He mentions playing MK World on a Switch 2 his friend owns. Everything else is true though.
>Reggie/Iwata eraI prefer this unsung hero
>>724255353I haven't forgiven shit, Iwata era gave me Fusion and Other M, I hate him and Reggie for those, Reggie kept even shilling Other M with its bad localization. Even Metroid Prime healed after Iwata died and Reggie left.

>>724260670This>>724260740Microsoft being pro-consumer since Peter Moore left, and don't go sucking off Phil Spencer, he sucks.
>>724261867I was there, it was not, Wii started out great and went to shit, Wii U wasn't good at all.
>>724277821>>I have a feeling that the "Nintendo manchild" + zoomers who literally weren't alive when the N64 was on the market is what the modern Switch and beyond fanbase is like.It is also, ironically, despite how often they scream snoy, literal former sony ponies fleeing sony's shitty decisions and taking their obnoxious brand of fanboyism with them. Real shame Nintendo began fucking them in the same and all new ways.
>>724270438It's insane how utterly asshurt tendies get over a former tendie with a modicum of principles.
>>724281523Gonna cry that i was mean to nintendeen?
>>724281902Nah, I'm just laughing that you are.
>>724282289Lol ok nintendeen
>>724273731Why would you post a video that disproves half your greentext? The only thing you said that was true is that he's a jewtuber wagie who also has a series x and struggled a bit building his pc (which is kind of funny for any consolepleb to try and make fun of).
>>724281523He's not going to fuck you bro
>>724282732You totally caught me. Suck my fat nintendeendick and go continue to seethe your brains out in my comment section.
>>724282926No, but he is fucking you and I find that funny. Nobody would give a shit about this guy if he wasn't driving tendies out of their gourds.
>>724283070nintendeen's fans are literal cultists
>>724283070He's not going to fuck you bro
>>724259209Gokubro…
>>724262191>/v/ is so contrarian that they've turned into Dob
>>724255353Jesus what a bunch of PERSONAL gripes, the consensus is that they were great lmao.
I had a Wii and DS growing up. I loved both but fell out of the former as I got older and my uncle bought me more consoles.Very quickly began to play classic NES, SNES, and N64 games growing up. Would sometimes emulate till I switched to Xbox 360 and then lastly PC.The Wii U was such a disappointment to me, even as a kid.
Honestly, I don't get why there is some modern wave of "appreciation" for the Wii.I'm not exactly a big Zelda and Mario fan, but even for those types I've not exactly seen much excitement for the Wii titles.>Wii SeriesOutside of Wii Sports, nobody talks about these, primarily because they were always considered a casualized embarrassment. >Super Mario Galaxy 1&2Generally considered great I suppose.>Skyward SwordWas considered a massive misstep with an incredibly annoying companion character. >Metroid Prime 3Generally considered a weaker entry compared to 1 and 2.>Other MGenerally considered the worst game in the franchise.>Smash BrawlOnly remembered for cool cutscenes as the gameplay has a whole host of baffling design decisions.>No More Heroes The only "mature" game on the Wii people actually ended up remembering. Like, nobody remembers that one FPS that had Lincoln and Washington show up at the end, or Madworld or the Dead Space game on Wii. What else is there? Some ports? The Resident Evil rail shooters?DS nostalgia I get, that had a strong library in the west. Dragon Quest 9, Final Fantasy 3 & 4, the first new 2D Mario in over a decade I think, Dragon Ball Origins, some fairly well liked Pokemon games, just a lot of stuff that was actually liked and has perceivable qualities, the same cannot be said for the Wii.
>>724255353People appreciate Iwata's 'soul'. He made the system's interface and features pleasant and unique and he didn't just seem like a moneygrubbing suit, it seemed like he actually cared about video games and the user experience. People can take issue with some of the things he did, but that's why they like him. He was a hell of a lot more likable than the current drone.
>>724269038The shitposting is what I actually liked about the later half of his era. Iwata actually seemed to have a goofy sense of humor and didn't mind leaning into it. As for the puppets the guy was just about on his deathbed and looked like shit, I won't blame him/them for trying to cut him a break
>>724269038Pure soul. Can't believe v called this cringe..
>>724255353>still pretending the wii wasn't awesome
>>724282762>Why would you post a video that disproves half your greentext?The dude talks about Nintendeen "before his channel went full NDS" with the same sense of betrayal leftists feel when full blown leftards like JK Rowling have a brief flirtation with sanity in recognizing that men have penises. Doesn't matter if you've been a devout leftist your whole life and it doesn't matter if you've been a Nintendo fan even up to the 2010s, cults don't tolerate dissent.
>>724287928This.In no way was the man perfect. But all those fun moments he generated made his era memorable. Not once did pic related ever show up on screen, let alone try to have some fun with his company. Even if he was dry with his humor and delivery, that would still be something. But nothing.
>>724291259He showed up on a shareholder meeting screen.
>>724255353>(which was intentional on iwata's part because he believed online multiplayer was "dangerous" for children)He was correct about that.
>>724255353Nigga you're expecting zoomers to acknowledge that they played no games on the wii and just fucked around on the wii channels that came pre installed with the system because they were "apps" just like le heckin iphone that mama and dada wouldn't buy them at the timeIt's why you ask a zoomer to recall any of the good games on the wii and they just tell you mario galaxy and the wii shop channel music / mii channel music, it's all anyone played on the system. The system has like 10 good games everyone played, 10 good games like 100 people in the world played, and 5000 shovelware games only the devs have ever played
