Saw the video:

20 years ago TODAY on May 19, 2004 -- Kikizo.com, scooped one of its biggest ever interviews. As global Nintendo President, Satoru Iwata was notoriously difficult to access 1-1, even for the biggest consumer games media.

(* Previously unpublished material includes comments from Mr Iwata about Hiroshi Yamauchi (at the time Nintendo's chairman, and to all intents and purposes its founder, who also sadly passed away in 2013, nine years after this interview), including: "Hiroshi Yamauchi has led Nintendo for over 50 years, and in the past 20 years, he is someone who can be called the father of today's gaming industry" -- and "I don't think we should just do exactly what he has said in the past..." -- this video is the first time these comments from Mr Iwata have ever been revealed, after recovery from my original source tapes for this remaster. )

The newly restored video offers a glimpse into the mind of one of the most important people in gaming history, whose impact is certainly still felt today -- someone we described at the time as "full of ideas guaranteed to surprise fans over the coming years".
