Iwata made Nintendo loveable.

I feel like since his passing Nintendo games have just become so bland and corporate feeling. idk if it's just me and I'm getting old but something about the magic is missing in newer Nintendo games that was prominent in older titles

Eh, the entire New Super Mario Bros felt like the exact same game recycled over and over again, with the most generic plastic artstyle possible. The 3DS version was soulless and pumped to boost the library.

I'd take Wonder over any NSMB game.

Iwata was a playful public face for the company. He also had the gamer's and developer's perspective in things, he wasn't just a guy in suit to make sure that lines go up and all the investors can clap their hands. He had a more consumer-oriented perspective in mind along with Reggie. When Nintendo made operating loss, instead of laying off staff and blaming others, he owned it and temporarily sliced his salary. The world of gaming needs more people like Iwata, and the words he said are more relevant than ever.
