Nintendo is continuing its mission to conquer social media, and it's been confirmed that Super Mario Odysseyproducer Yoshiaki Koizume will be taking part in a Reddit AMA. That's a pretty brave thing to do, considering most will bombard him with questions about F-Zero and the Virtual Console.
It's a great idea, though, and he'll no doubt have help to filter through and answer interesting questions. We could certainly learn some interesting things about Super Mario Odyssey, and any other topics that Koizuma-san decides to take on.
It'll be on the Nintendo Switch subreddit at 12:45pm Pacific / 15:45 Eastern / 20:45 UK / 21:45 CEST today (14th July).
We'll check it out once the dust has settled to see what Koizume-san has to say.

What language is this going to be in?
Does he even speak English (like most people on reddit)? I mean this tweet talking about it and his board are in English..
@Ethan_Bricknell
R-rated mostly
@BezBot
He doesn't have to if he has a translator with him, which is the case for the directors/producers on the Treehouse streams.
It's Steve Buscemi.
I... don't know what reddit is... 😱
@PLATINUM7 But chat and stuff will be flying by, what is the translator going to read? Everything? That seems kind of hard
@Ethan_Bricknell Probably English, there'll no doubt be a translator and PR representative helping him.
@BezBot That's not how Reddit works, you refresh when you want to see newer comments I think?
But yeah, I think NoA is underestimating how mad Reddit is.
I hate Reddit...
@ThomasBW84 Yeah that's how it works, but will it just be the first ones then? It still doesn't really make sense...
The translator will definitely be working his ass off to translate some of those comments, censoring out all the offensive and inappropriate stuff within it all. I doubt they want to subject Koizuma to some of the things people say on reddit.
@ThomasBW84 Yeah. Thinking about the logistics of how it's going to work out wrinkles my brain, so I suppose we'll just wait and see whether this goes smoothly or goes off a cliff. Good luck to his translator (Hope they've used Reddit before!)
People are pretending that Reddit somehow has worse people than any other social media platform...
The only website that has significantly more unbearable users to deal with than other websites is 4chan.
@Equinox Seriously?
Q: Will Mario Odyssey have a "how many ice cubes are in the controller" level as I know you're really into that?
@JubilifeRival
>Redditor
>4chan is the boogeyman DO NOT go in!!!!
Color me surprised.
It's not like Reddit has a worse audience than half the Japanese social media gaming outlets. They're used to it, I'm sure.
One thing is universal in gaming, no matter the nation and society, misanthropes with toxic personalities seem to dominate the culture. Kind of makes us wonder why we're here, doesn't it?
Well nothing says you have to answer all the questions. And however many crazy questions you get, you'll always seem to get a few sane ones.
@Interneto Lol. First of all, I rarely browse reddit. Second of all, I think it would more accurate to word your reply like this:
>Literally everyone on Earth except the few 4chan users who don't mind visiting a human cesspool of a website
>Thinks 4chan is the boogeyman, is right
(TFW the man holds up a signboard showing that his name is Koizumi but the article reads 'Koizume') ;p
@Franklin Well, red isn't too far from pink.
