Iwata Asks is “recharging right now”
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 2 Comments
4Gamer has gone live with an interview featuring Nintendo president Satoru Iwata. It’s the final interview in a series done by the Japanese website and Dwango’s Nobuo Kawakami.
One of the earlier parts of the discussion talks about how often Iwata is involved with interviews. Naturally, the chat shifted to the “Iwata Asks” series and what its status is at present. Iwata says that “our customers and even myself grew a little bored with it, so we decided to rest it for a while and it’s recharging right now, so to speak.”
Check out the full interview excerpts below:

Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 29 Comments
Like Famitsu, 4Gamer published a massive interview with nearly 150 Japanese developers as they reflect topics such as the past year, what lies ahead for 2015, and more.
Bayonetta 2 producer Akiko Kuroda was one of the people 4Gamer included in its article. Kuroda confirmed that she’s hard at work on a new project, and also seemed to tease the development of something related to Bayonetta in 2015.
Here are Kuroda’s full words:
“I have started working on the next project, but it looks like the announcement will come later. In any case, I think that it would be nice if something Bayonetta-related was also developed in 2015, so please pay attention to the continuation of Bayonetta!”
Bayonetta 2 director Hashimoto Yusuke also mentioned a new project. However, he was less specific with his words.
