TOKYO (AP) â Nintendo’s late president Satoru Iwata oversaw the video-game maker’s global growth as
Super Mario and Pokemon became household names.
Ask Iwata was published after his death from cancer in 2015 at age 55. This month,
VIZ Media is publishing the English translation of the book, which came out in Japanese in 2019.
“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,” Iwata once said, one of many quotes that stand out in
the book.
Throughout the book, Iwata outlined his vision for Nintendo Co, which was to offer entertainment that everyone in the family could enjoy, regardless of age, gender and game playing skills.
