Viz Media has announced it's localizing the 2019 book collecting interviews with Satoru Iwata, the late Nintendo CEO. Ask Iwata: Words of Wisdom from Nintendo's Legendary CEO releases Spring 2021 in physical and digital editions in North America.
The book, in part, compiles various transcripts from a decade of interviews in the "Iwata Asks" series, a project he worked on from 2006 until his death in 2015. Iwata Asks typically featured Iwata and Nintendo developers discussing popular first-party series releases, hardware, and more. The series went in-depth on the Wii, Nintendo DS, 3DS, and Wii U, from both a hardware philosophy as well as the platforms' software libraries.
