字幕あり -- new EN & JP subtitles available via options/cog (highly recommended!) -- for the first time, this new source-quality remaster reveals the full original Japanese and English content with new subtitles for both languages, and includes previously unseen material. 20 years ago TODAY on May 19, 2004 -- my website at the time (www.kikizo.com) scooped one of its biggest ever interviews. As global Nintendo President, Satoru Iwata was notoriously difficult to access 1-1, even for the biggest consumer games media. The newly restored video offers a glimpse into the mind of one of the most important people in gaming history, whose impact is certainly still felt today -- someone we described at the time as "full of ideas guaranteed to surprise fans over the coming years". At a time when Iwata hadn’t long been Nintendo president, DS was only just revealed, and the first glimpse of Revolution/Wii was a whole year away, nobody could have predicted how much Iwata-led Nintendo would truly shake up the industry. In fact, some of Iwata's comments are verging on prophecy, viewed in 2024... Like so many, I was sad to learn of Satoru Iwata's passing in 2015. Iwata's warmth of character, which became so well-known over the years in press conferences and Nintendo Directs, truly came across when we met him for this interview and on other rare occasions. Satoru Iwata was an inspiring and charming leader who will always be very fondly remembered.

sadly other CEOs (or their shareholders / board members) seem to be fine with not just rushing things but the ever expanding micro- and macro transactions as they're effective.

That's why the switch is scared about their successor. 3rd parties drive the market outside yet another milked mario, and stuff on consoles is prone to censorship between ff7, stellar blade and paper mario. Nintendo switch expansion isn't updated as frequently to justify paying over basic for more than a year. At least the price didn't go up and the family plan encourages social interaction to do up to 8 people as individual for both costs more than for 2 people, which is dumb. Why not just go pc/hybrid and get more demos, better performance with additional/xbox game pass storefronts, and not deal with obsolete game trials? Would've been nice if Nintendo at least made one of their new games free for a week. Ask Iwata was a good book, but yeah a lot of the good nintendo had died with him (free online multiplayer, nintendo selects $20 games) and when Fils-Aime left (and he had to leave gamestop once they felt he'd sabotage their trade secrets, which is impossible to suggest anything in that environment as an advisor, he did fight to bundle wii sports, which yeah better than waiting piecemeal and overpaying for switch sports, though it is better now with golf and wii matt cheat code for chanbara). I'd avoid reggie's book though. It's more his life experiences, has a typo warning and the audio book has an interview not on the written versions.

I grew up with Nintendo during childhood and teenage years during the Iwata era. I never knew the man personally but I was always happy to see him in Nintendo Direct's or E3. There is one picture on the internet of Mr. Iwata, Mr. Miyamoto and Reggie putting their hands together at E3 and it will be always my favourite picture in regards of Nintendo. In my eyes, Mr. Iwata was a true leader who thought about his employees and truly cared about them whilst also knowing the industry in which he was a CEO extremely well due to his personal interest in it. His action to half his salary as a CEO during one of the weakest time of the Wii U in order to be able to finance his employees salary so that they will not have to think about layoffs and can continue their work in good mental health is an action that speaks louder than words. From my knowledge the Switch was again an idea of Mr. Iwata and I'm so happy that it brought the company back to the spot. It's sad he isn't able to see it but I'm still proud to own a Switch. He is someone who I look up to on how to be a good boss

The late President Iwata was originally a programmer and producer. So, naturally, he graduated from a science and engineering school. However, he was also fluent in English, and during his time at HAL Laboratory, he translated the text for Dragon Warrior (Japanese name: Dragon Quest), which was released in North America. He may have been the most amazing person in the industry. Once again, I pray for the repose of his soul... 亡き岩田社長は元々はプログラマー・プロデューサー。ですので出身校は勿論理工系。しかし、英語も堪能でHAL研究所時代には北米発売のDragon Warrior(日本名:ドラゴンクエスト)ではテキスト翻訳もされていたそうで。この業界では一番凄かったかたかもしれないですね。あらためてご冥福をお祈りいたします…。

Aside from adaptive triggers we are yet to see something out of the box. Iwata-sama is so right, time and time again Nintendo change the way we interact with the software we love. Here’s just a few things that are absolutely incredible and push their products to their fullest capability. Labo, Wii, DS, GB, Switch. Absolute game changers. Look at the surge in handhelds now, there are strong rumors of a Microsoft handheld. Specs aside Nintendo are the pioneers and all the rest can do is increase the amount of polygons on screen. As for the games though, we are spoilt with the fantastic software we have across the board but yet again Nintendo games are just so filled with soul, so full of life!

So, he acknowledged that simply putting another console on the shelves not going to cut it for Nintendo since the competition is steep. Thus, they came up with Wiimote... It's kind of funny that even though they're aware of being different in the market is important, they still launched Wii U as is... Since many people don't distinguished it as a new and different console then Wii. They literally fell in to the same trap that they foresee. Ironic.

@@LOLxUnique Well, yes. People thought Wii U is nothing more than an accessory to Wii. That's why it's funny, because Nintendo knew that they need to distinguish their console, not only from competition. Yet, I think their stubbornness to not name their consoles with numbers, ultimately cause the demise of Wii U. Especially given the fact that Nintendo appealed the casual market with Wii which those people don't seek knowledge about upcoming devices. Nintendo should've known very well that Wii owners will dismiss Wii U. They need to market Wii U as a new and distinguish console that's more than Wii and other competitors. They epically failed at this. Also, as a side not, I don't think third party devs really love the idea of Wii U. So, in a way it was also a failure in product itself. I mean think about it, even if Wii U was a success, what sort of games do you expect on the system that utilize the controller? I doubt there will be any meaningful thing. Devs would put bunch of UI elements on controller screen and call the day. I think Nintendo partially fooled themselves with the success of DS. They really thought that having dual screen adds something meaningful to gaming. But it was nothing more than a gimmick.

I saw a “meme” (using the term loosely) containing the controllers of PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo. PlayStation’s controllers had the caption “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” I don’t remember what Xbox’s controllers said, but it’s Nintendo’s that holds true to the company’s philosophy: “Innovation requires risk.” Personally, I feel as though Nintendo is honoring both Gunpei Yokoi (father of the GameBoy and many others) and Satoru Iwata’s philosophies even though they’ve been deceased for a long time. Sure, Nintendo’s consoles may be a generation behind in terms of specs, but that’s what Yokoi’s “Lateral thinking with withered technology” philosophy comes into play. The technology has existed for a while, Nintendo’s designers are thinking of new ways to use said hardware.
