Topic: Iwata talks with Shigesato Itoi, creator of Earthbound!

[Kairon]

Read it here! In English!

Oh cool!

It's a series of conversations they had over dinner, and they're doling them out in installments, a ton of 'em! It's like Wii Interviews part deux!

The first bit is all about what "ideas" are.

[MarioAllStar]

It took me a while to grasp what they were saying, but I think I understand now. The best ideas are those which solve multiple problems at once, for they fix problems deep within, rather than the surface-level imperfections. This is better than solving problems one-by-one, or just throwing more resources at the problem, for those actions are just quick fixes that leave the underlying faults alone.

I know that's not exactly what they said, but that's the meaning I took from it.

Give us Earthbound, you fiends! ;_;

Mother 3 translated.  It doesn't have to be on GBA, port it to the DS and then it will sell!!!!

While the conversation is interesting, it doesn't really talk about what we want to hear: MOTHER3!!!!

Sacrifice of one employee for another is not normal dinner conversation.

[ShyGuy]

The guy who they were going to kill to save his coworkers life must have been sweating it a bit.

This looks to be another awesome offering like Iwata's interviews last year.

That's pretty nifty, has some real thinkers on problem solving.

Say you love Catbus and you love Cattank.  However, the two always fight over territory.  How do you solve this?  What is the problem?  What idea could make everyone happy?  Where does Catladder fit in?
