i'm now reminded of iwata asks, those were always fantastic to read and gave such a great insight into nintendo and the different people who worked there, many of whom i was introduced to by reading those interviews. if the world wasn't so cruel we would have had iwata asks for botw and odyssey.
Agreed, but even back when they were a thing, I always wanted to see more of a shake-up in who responded to the "asks" series, even if Iwata was always present. A big part of me believes it is mainly out of a lot of developers' and gaming staff at Nintendo's desire to not be in the spotlight out of modesty or a disinterest in fame, but Iwata always struck me as the type who'd more than happily try and spotlight a lot of people at Nintendo this way if they chose to.

Agreed, I miss it so much.

Holy shit, I think Aonuma might actually be working on Metroid Prime 4!

"What is Mr. Aonuma's favorite Nintendo franchise?"

"Metroid."

"What? Why?"

And it's not really his real answer.

Aonuma wrote "Metroid?" and when Koizumi asked "What, why?" Aonuma responded that he thought Koizumi would throw him a curve ball.

Aonuma was trying to guess what Koizumi would guess.
Aonuma must've thought they were going to start promoting Metroid Prime 4 since it's probably coming this year.

I dunno if I'm living in a Nintendo bubble but, Iwata, Miyamoto, Aunoma, Koizumi and Reggie seem really likeable and fun. Does Sony and Microsoft have personalities like this and I'm just ignorant of them?
I guess Sony's equivalents are/were Shu Yoshida, Adam Boyes, Kaz Hirai, and Mark Cerny. They've all been rad dudes.

Phil Spencer's been okay at MS since he took the reins, but yeah, MS hasn't really had much in way of teams of personalities, they've just kinda cycled through one main presentation guy, from Blackley to Moore to J Allard to *shudder* Mattrick to Spencer, with any supporting cast well in the background.

Mark Cerny isn't on their level at all.

I'm trying to imagine what an Aonuma Metroid would be like. Just one super massive dungeon where Samsus has to fight Calamity Ridley.

I don't know why people want Aonuma to direct a 2D Metroid of all things, if anything he should direct the third-person Metroid adventure that people have been asking for all these years.
