Remember when Iwata spent three weeks alongside the Melee team debugging the gameplay so they could make their deadlines
Remember when Iwata cut his pay when the Wii U was losing fiscally to make sure nobody on his team had to suffer on behalf of those losses, because he believed the system couldn’t make it without everyone’s participation
Remember when he ported Pokemon Stadium’s battle system in a week without reference sheets
Remember when he originally helped work on Mother and basically helped the series exist
Remember when he compressed Pokemon Gold and Silver to even less than half its original size to fit in Kanto, something the original dev team didn’t even think was something they were gonna do or even could do themselves
Remember all those goofy montages he went out of his way to make fun of himself for so we could laugh
Remember how he refused to let Nintendo become active on the mobile market, effectively having made the company truer to core principles of videogames than most
Remember how people actually hated him and how he had to return from work tired every night probably having to keep this in mind
I’ve never felt this way about the passing of a big figure before…
I’m really sad and shocked he must had hid his condition so well and pushed himself so hard to keep us smiling to the end.
There were countless times I felt down, afraid, stressed. I would pick up a game and magically it helped me through those hard times. Your games weren’t just a pick me up. Nintendo, I really loved them. I loved the characters, I loved the world inside them.
I really enjoyed and respected the parts that go into the creation of them.
Game hype was a lot of fun. It’s really fun to talk about with my friends. Whenever I finished work your games were most of the time, what I rewarded myself with.
Thank you so much for shaping my and many childhoods. Rest in peace Mr. Iwata
having a flesh vessel is so annoying?????? like they have to be constantly watered, they have to be in specific temperature range to be comfortable, i’ve had a headache for like seven hours and nothing i do will get rid of it,
physical forms are so inconvenient??????????????
I knocked mine over yesterday and scraped off some of the outer barrier and it keeps sending me really annoying warning messages about it
blood.dll has caused an access violation exception
I still can’t figure off how to turn off the monthly compile time. It goes for like 7 days wrecks all the system and takes so much CPU time.
I got the wrong model, too, and there’s no returns or exchange policy. I’m trying to make do as best I can with aftermarket modifications, but even that’s a real bind. And then I have to deal with all the purists who try to tell me I should be happy with the model I was given.
My model seems to have been made with all third-party pieces and is falling apart at a much faster rate than anticipated. I’d really like to know who I contact about this because I was supposed to get a licensed version.
mine was apparently shipped with defective visual-input parts which went unnoticed at the time, and while aftermarket add-ons are able to approximate normal performance, actual repair or replacement of the defective parts is neither feasible nor cost-effective
also the OS has this big honking flaw where it freezes up a lot and all the memory access to anything but negative shit gets locked out, plus all the code regarding physical interface with external modules appears to be either corrupt or missing
i wish to complain
i don’t know what you guys are even talking about, i got the model that turns into a race car if you fold it right
My AP photo class took a field trip to San Francisco two weeks ago and one of the art galleries we went to was Pier 26. My favorite exhibit was this room. A man decided to print every single picture uploaded to Flickr in one day and just pile them all into a room all the way to the ceiling. (350,000) It was amazing to just lay down in a sea of photographs and look at one and see into someone else’s life. There were so many weddings and special occasions and even just selfies. It was by the far the most interesting art exhibit I have been to.
