Honestly, I lost a lot of love for Nintendo under his reign but gotta respect the guy for his non-upper management accomplishments. Never even knew about the PK Gold/Silver one...It really says something when the CEO of a huge corporate entity dies and he is greatly missed.

He also refused to have mass layoffs to help Nintendo's bottom line. He said it would help in the short-term, but screw you over in the long term.EDIT* Also, got respect for him when he took pay cuts of shit 3DS sales... can't think of any other CEO who would even consider taking responsibility for ups under his leadership.
Well his passing has more tweets than the other 4 combined so there is that.Perfect proof I have no idea how Twitter trending works. The Top 5 Trending right now:
