Ike Posted July 23, 2019 Posted July 23, 2019 Man, just makes me picture Miyamoto all sad at work. Didn't know they were that close, although I never really thought about it. Here's the Amazon Japan link in case anyone was considering picking it up: https://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/4865014225
Ronnie Posted July 23, 2019 Posted July 23, 2019 I really hope it gets translated, would love to read it. Such a heartbreaking loss. The only "celebrity" death that's truly affected me.
markderoos Posted July 25, 2019 Posted July 25, 2019 Yep, would buy that day one if it get’s translated and released in the West! Can’t believe it’s already 4 years since Iwata passed away Still miss him, especially in Nintendo’s marketing campaigns...
Hero-of-Time Posted October 3, 2019 Posted October 3, 2019 An interesting article/opinion piece was posted on IGN the other day that speaks about how Nintendo on mobile doesn't stand up to the legacy of Iwata. LINK There was a lot of outrage on Era (standard) about the article but I honestly found myself agreeing with a lot of what had been wrote. 1 2
Ronnie Posted October 3, 2019 Posted October 3, 2019 (edited) It's an interesting read. Joe Skrebels, a clearly made up name, does great work. I kind of look to things like Labo, Ring Fit Adventure, Breath of the Wild, Arms, the Switch itself etc for a continuation of Iwata's legacy. Their mobile offerings are more of a necessary evil for their investors. Edited October 3, 2019 by Ronnie 1

Ike Posted July 24, 2020 Posted July 24, 2020 The book about Iwata that was published in Japan is getting a localisation by Viz Media. 8 2

Ashley Posted July 24, 2020 Posted July 24, 2020 Tried twice to do a thread rip but kept putting the other thread into this one 🤦 Anyway, I'm not a big merch thing but this is a really nice idea and I hope they put a lot more around him, his experience, life etc alongside all the Ask Iwata things. Might pick up a digital copy for my travels when they pick up again. 1

Ike Posted April 13, 2021 Posted April 13, 2021 Physical book seems to be delayed to May, according to Amazon, but the Kindle version is available now. 2 1
Josh64 Posted April 13, 2021 Posted April 13, 2021 Yeah I got an email saying it had been delayed but it didn't specify as to when so at least we know it will be next month

Ashley Posted April 13, 2021 Posted April 13, 2021 Seeing this bumped I assumed it was it was because of this article (which I've not personally read yet): https://kotaku.com/satoru-iwata-seemed-like-a-truly-good-dude-1846671498
Dcubed Posted April 13, 2021 Posted April 13, 2021 Yeah, the physical book has been delayed till May 27th (my copy is delayed too).
markderoos Posted April 14, 2021 Posted April 14, 2021 Yep, mine too (now for the second time I think?)
killthenet Posted May 11, 2021 Posted May 11, 2021 Has anybody here received a physical copy of the book yet? I ordered it as soon as it went up on the Book Depository but they refunded me today, saying that they won't be able to fulfil the order. Plenty of other UK outlets are still listing it for sale, coming out on May 27th, but there's no telling if that date is going to stick. I know it's been published physically in the US, Damiani showed off his copy on a recent episode of Friend Code, so it's frustrating that it keeps getting pushed back here.

I ordered with Amazon, but they've been very hit and miss lately (they've delivered a bunch of manga for my younger brother days - if not weeks - late over the last few months), so I'm not that confident that it'll actually show up on the 27th if I'm being honest. Fingers crossed though!
Dcubed Posted May 12, 2021 Posted May 12, 2021 Nothing yet. I wouldn’t expect it before May 27th though.
Josh64 Posted May 12, 2021 Posted May 12, 2021 Nothing yet but also no message about a cancellation either so hopefully it sticks.
markderoos Posted May 15, 2021 Posted May 15, 2021 (edited) Got mine two weeks ago or so. edit: just checked, delivered on april 16th (through bol.com, local webshop in the Netherlands) Edited May 15, 2021 by markderoos 1
Ike Posted May 26, 2021 Posted May 26, 2021 Been charged for mine, order says it will be delivered tomorrow. 1
