Video: Nintendo Shines The Spotlight on Aya Kyogoku and Risa Tabata

that feeling when top comment on youtube ^_^ lol

@97alexk Haha, oh wow, I see it.
This was a neat video. I'm not interested in either of the new Animal Crossing games, but it's cool to take a look at what things are like from another developer's perspective.
They're definitely right on the "don't be hesitant" part, although from personal views, it's a bit worrying. Imagine you're pretty confident about entering that line of work, but you then worry about everything you aren't aware of, like "What if ___ pops up and I can't debug it?" or "This isn't working and I'm not sure what the problem is!" kinda stuff. I'm no programmer or animator yet, so I have no idea how difficult or easy those things can be, but I'm pushing forward regardless.

@Mikes Same. The home designer and festival looks like a cash grab. I really hope actual animal crossing game is in the production.

@Hy8ogen They aren't cash grabs because they don't have any microtransactions. You need the cards to play them which is fair seeing that the game itself is built around them.

I agree that women can be just as creative as men.

One of Iwata's biggest acheivements was spotlighting the people behind the games in the Iwata Asks interviews. We got to hear from people that the video game media doesn't have access too. I hope the next CEO continues that tradition. (Laughs)

Cash grab. They should just incorporate these ideas into a new Animal Crossing game for the Wii U. Instead they're selling them as whole games.

@BLPs Good luck.

Great video, I love seeing the lesser known developers being featured, especially women.

@BLPs You'll do great.

@BLPs I'm sorry, I wish I could give you some sort of advice or something, but I know nothing about making games. The best I can say is to take things one step at a time, and maybe try to find some sort of way to alleviate the work load.

@BLPs Maybe you should find a way to relax; maybe take a day off and have some fun if you can. Sometimes work can be a bit too much, and usually the best thing to do if possible is take your mind off of it a bit and relax. It usually helps alleviate the pressure.

Although if you can't get away from it for a bit or if you can't get help, the best thing to do is persevere through it. One step at a time; we all have to work hard to make our dreams a reality (it may sound a bit corny, but it's true)

That was a really nice interview.

@Hy8ogen home designer seems interesting. Don't think it's a cash grab, just a different take on a game. The board game I'm on the fence over. I'll be getting the cards or Amiibi anyway; as they are big in my house, so why not play the game.

@BLPs sorry to hear you're depressed. Your drink related comments always make me smile. Hope you feel better soon, and that your current project turns out as you hope.

@Tops You know what? I've given a bit of a thought about it and you're right. It doesn't matter. my bad.

I love these videos, and I hope Nintendo keeps this up because it's nice to know the people who make their games.
(^_^ )

This and the Yoshi's Wooly World- Emi Watanabe video make me want to make my own game (or do something creative). Too bad I don't know anything about programming...
(T-T )

Interesting, my girlfriend back in high school bought a GameCube only to play animal crossing. She was by no means a 'gamer' but fell hard for animal crossing when I rented it just to see what it was all about.
