I never knew much about Iwata other than being a seemingly pretty cool games industry guy but the more I read about him the more I understand why people were so upset about his death.

Rest in peace, Iwata. I was never a big Nintendo fan, but I liked what I played.

>Iwata: Aaah, I wonder if it’s alright to admit this? Well, I guess the proverbial statute of limitations is up, so I’ll tell you, but my actual last work on programming happened when I was working as the General Manager of Corporate Planning at Nintendo. Something happened and the Gamecube version of Super Smash Brothers didn’t look like it was going to make its release date so I sort of did a code review for it (Wry Laugh).

>All: (Laugh Loudly)

>Kawakami: No matter how you look at it, that’s not the job of the General Manager of Corporate Planning, is it? (Laughs)

>Iwata: Yes, it isn’t really, is it (wry laugh). At the time, I went to HAL Labs in Yamanashi and was the acting head of debugging. So, I did the code review, fixed some bugs, read the code and fixed more bugs, read the long bug report from Nintendo, figured out where the problem was and got people to fix those…all in all I spent about three weeks like that. And, because of that, the game made it out on time.

>Kawakami:So you even did the debugging yourself!

>Iwata: And that was the last time that I worked as an engineer ‘in the field’. I was right there, sitting by programmers, in the trenches, reading code together, finding the bugs, and fixing them together.

>>379049181
Almost makes me regret my giving up programming.

Iwata was a fucking hero.

With all due respect, but being surrounded by incompetent morons doesn't mean you're a god, Iwata was fairly average, compared to actual monsters like Carmack he's a wet fart.

He was kind of a crappy president in some regards but I appreciate that he actually used to code games. Being a coder for a company with a coder as president much be nice for a change, especially when so many presidents are just people with good business sense that couldn't give two shits about whatever it is they're selling.

Yamauchi at least had a sixth sense for telling whether games were good or not despite not playing the damn things.

Explaiin that with those fucking wizards.

I was deeply affected and miss Iwata so much and I don't even know why. Why was I so attached to him?

D44M somehow runs 60 FPS high settings on some of the most toasted of toasters and consoles and still look great.

It may not look THE BEST but able to look decent on old hardware is impressive.

>>379051116
If you watched the Nintendo Directs, it felt like you got to know him. It was unique that he talked directly to the fans and even worked on his English so he could get better at it as time went on. Other company presidents are faceless, but Iwata put his out there.

Yeah, most of the old designers used to write code, even if they weren't very good or stop fairly early, believe it or not even Kojimbo used to write code when he was a freshman.

You mean "were". iT5 is an abomination.

>>379051141
Jesus Christ, I'm studying assembly at my university and I'm having troubles with basic programs, this guy is seriously a great programmer; I suppose it makes sense for that game though, since it probably made the game run smooth even on bad computers and even with lots of people visiting your park

>>379051282
True, the former Crytek lead engineer did most of the work on D44M.

>>379051601
Which game is that?

Idtech 6 is pretty good.

>entire Kanto region
>without any of the dungeons
Kanto was disappointing as a kid and they still din't fix it for HGSS.

Gamefreak have always been shit at making games, they just got lucky with a formula that scratches everyones autism itch

>>379050713
I don't think so. He was hired as an artist and the earliest game with a recorded history of development he said he couldn't program it himself.

>>379051141
Fuck Assembly. Had an Assembly course last semester and it was annoying. Maybe the mostly falls on the teacher, but still. Sawyer is a damn madman

>>379050572
He made recoveries thought impossible with both HAL and Nintendo (which is part of why he was hired there). He's pretty good at what he does.

Safari Zone being out was probably not a space issue, it was connected to a fuckton of big glitches in RBY and I'm guessing they didn't want to bother rewriting it to get rid of those.

>>379050313
It's mainly cause he's one of the few industry veteran deaths that happened while said veteran was still relevant.
Most of these reports are about people way into their retirement, Iwata still was the president of Nintendo when he passed away.

>>379051241
In another timeline carmack could have been the unabomber.

>>379051141
>>379051982

You want crazier? He was given an Xbox dev kit and ported RCT in a month with pad controlls as an exercise. The port was as fully featured as the PC version and ran so well. Infogrammes (His publisher at the time) decided to try release it, submitted it to Microsoft to get it certified and it passed through QA check first time. Microsoft were completely amazed by it and it was released at retail about a month after it was announced.

A Fucking Wizard, man.

>>379049181
This meme again. Compression isn't high level programming.

>>379057686
>it's another muh sim game is hard ta progrum
if it ain't real-time, it's just a simple fsm which have been perfected and are easily copied in any language since before your mum was even sexually active.

>>379049927
Me too, honestly. Nintendo has became a lot more corporate like its competitors ever since he passed away. It's like the magic of Nintendo went with him.

>>379057686
To be fair, the Xbox was largely a run-of-the-mill x86 PC sans the graphics card which is still a mystery, far as I'm aware.

>>379051147
nuDOOM programming is mostly done by ex crytech engeneers, he didnt take part in the development as confirmed by hines.
last (ir)relevant thing carmack did was megatextures

>>379049181
To be fair Game Freak is really shit at programming.

>>379051241

He also was a huge part of the Switch's growth. So you can add that to the list.

DS, Wii, and Switch are all Iwata. Very successful.

The Wii U, while unsuccessful, was still pretty important. We wouldnt have the Switch without the Wii U working out the kinks first.

3DS was alright, still solid.
