They also translate Japanese content into English so English readers can understand what is being said. Nintendo, in particular, has a lot of interviews from many decades ago. For example, Shmuplations has recently uncovered a Nintendo Dream interview with Shigeru Miyamoto that dates back to 2002. The interview is about Super Mario Sunshine, where Miyamoto revealed that he regrets making the game so hard. He said that "I want Mario to be a game that all audiences can enjoy. Something that Grandma and Grandpa, Mom and Dad, even little children can easily pick up and play, and right away understand what's fun about it. However, I think Mario Sunshine turned out to be difficult for the average user. It's something I very much regret. I want someone who hasn't played a game in 10+ years to play our game, but I think such a person wouldn't know what's going on in Mario Sunshine". Source | | | |
