VIZ Media has confirmed this evening that Ask Iwata: Words of Wisdom will getting an official English release and it is scheduled to arrive in the west next spring. The tribute to the late and great Nintendo president Satoru Iwata will be available in both print and digital editions. The book launched in Japan some time ago and now finally English readers can experience it for themselves.
Miyamoto should read it and get motivated to make creative games again.
ironically, Miyamoto’s latest games were under Iwata’s direction
Sticker star, color splash, and origami king were under his direction? If that’s true then I’m baffled.
Hi “shuhei Yoshida”, lol
Iwata asked Miyamoto to create games designed to take advantage of the gamepad.
Saying “under his direction” is a misunderstanding, he created those by iwatas’s Petition :)
Oh, also federation force and amiibo festival. Both approved by iwata :)
Not saying iwata is bad, he isn’t.
Unfortunately he passed away, only a “what if scenario” comes to my mind about his own plans for the switch, for example, the Nintendo switch online.
Hobonichi is Sigesato Itoi’s company btw.
Itoi is the creator of Earthbound/Mother btw.
He ran the company into the ground with bad decision after bad decision, only staying in power by taking pay cuts. After he died Nintendo did far better. Man was a leech.
I like how the title is a reference to the old “Iwata Asks” segments they used to do, that had to have been intentional.
This is a nice gesture right there. Great book about him.
I’ll most likely be buying one. Iwata-san may not have been a perfect president, but he was as close as is humanly possible.
I’m not a book reader by any means, but this really tempts me.
