I visited the Nintendo of America HQ shortly after Satoru Iwata's death in 2015 to leave about 50 pages of written memories from Nintendo fans.
For weeks after Iwata-san's passing, NoA employees had a moment of silence every day in remembrance. It was really touching.
the Xbox showcase was cool but having these execs talk at my about how much they value their studios, developers, and partners felt super weird and gross
All the people pissed off about a Nintendo console refresh must be new...
We've been through this before, and Nintendo knows EXACTLY what we'll be doing with our money 💸
Microsoft got themselves in a weird spot with the Xbox naming situation
Xbox
Xbox 360
Xbox One
Xbox One X
Then what do you do? You can't go Xbox 2/Two because Sony has PlayStation 5 and 2 is less than 5. That matters a lot when non-gamer parents are buying consoles for kids.
