Ask Iwata Book Releasing in the West Next Year
Ask Iwata: Words of Wisdom From Nintendo’s Legendary CEO, also known as 岩田さん 岩田聡はこんなことを話していた。, will finally be seeing a western release in 2021. In 2019, Shigesato Itoi, the creator of Earthbound, and his publishing company Hobonichi released the book in Japan in light of Satoru Iwata’s untimely death and to pay respect to one of the greatest faces in video game history.
It is with great pleasure that I can confirm the book is being translated and scheduled for release in Spring 2021. You can pre-order Ask Iwata from the following links:
About Ask Iwata
“On my business card, I am a corporate president. In my mind, I am a game developer. But in my heart, I am a gamer.” —Satoru Iwata
Satoru Iwata was the former Global President and CEO of Nintendo and a gifted programmer who played a key role in the creation of many of the world’s best-known games. He led the production of innovative platforms such as the Nintendo DS and the Wii, and laid the groundwork for the development of the wildly successful Pokémon Go game and the Nintendo Switch. Known for his analytical and imaginative mind, but even more for his humility and people-first approach to leadership, Satoru Iwata was beloved by game fans and developers worldwide.
In this motivational collection, Satoru Iwata addresses diverse subjects such as locating bottlenecks, how success breeds resistance to change, and why programmers should never say no. Drawn from the “Iwata Asks” series of interviews with key contributors to Nintendo games and hardware, and featuring conversations with renowned Mario franchise creator Shigeru Miyamoto and creator of EarthBound Shigesato Itoi, Ask Iwata offers game fans and business leaders an insight into the leadership, development and design philosophies of one of the most beloved figures in gaming history.
