>>39235832I'm willing to bet GF were that stupidly incompetent or incapable at the time, while for Iwata, it was a cakewalk. He really knew what he was doing. I don't know if they continued to have Iwata come and help out after that, would require credits reel checking for every game past Gen 2 (besides the standard presidential credit that appears in every game).
If so, then that would explain a fucking lot as to why we're in this shitfest.
