While it’s not known if the entire Japanese book will be translated – as Nintendo’s own website didn’t translate all the columns into English –, Ask Iwata: Words of Wisdom will make for a great read for those who miss the man himself or want a deeper look into Nintendo during the DS to Wii U era.
During his time as Nintendo’s CEO, Iwata cultivated a column on the Nintendo website called ‘Iwata Asks,’ where he spoke to game creators and their teams about games that released on Nintendo systems.
Ask Iwata: Words of Wisdom will be available in physical and digital versions in Spring 2021.
