A fan is translating an Iwata Asks feature that never saw release outside of Japan

Iwata lives on

Many, many Nintendo fans dearly miss Satoru Iwata, Nintendo's former president. We recently hit the 4th anniversary of Iwata's untimely passing, which lead to fans reminiscing about all the wonderful things Iwata did. Now those fans have a new way to celebrate Iwata's work and life.

Iwata was well-known for all sorts of projects and features, but his Iwata Asks interviews were really something special. These interviews with game developers not only gave us more insight into a game's creation, but also Nintendo's philosophy and Iwata's way of thinking. While many of these Iwata Asks features were translated, one never saw release outside of Japan...until now.

A fan has taken to translating the original Iwata Asks feature for Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers, which had Iwata sit down with executive producer Akitoshi Kawazu to discuss the Wii title. If you'd like to take a virtual leap back in time to read up on this game's creation, and also get a bit more Iwata in your life, you can read the first translated installment of this Iwata Asks here.
