Ask Iwata

Having sifted through many of the existing reviews, it’s clear that some haven’t bothered to read the blurb on the inside-cover.This is a very compact little book that contains Satoru Iwata’s articles for the ‘Iwata Asks’ series. It is not a biography nor gallery of pictures, but a series of passages that offer advice on life and work.It’s a fantastic read and puts into perspective what a genuinely class-act this man was. He lived his life simply and never strayed from his humble roots - yet always speaks of his immense talents with complete modesty.Though much of his advice is straightforward, it’s relevant for anyone thinking of jumping on the business bandwagon, or who simply want to know a little more about Iwata’s highs and lows.

While this book does not have any pictures what it does have is lots of information on Satoru Iwatas life and how he came to be Nintendo president and the hardships that came along the way, While the book isn't the lengthiest it certainly does give an inside on Satoru Iwatas mind set.All in all this book is really interesting.

Bought this as a present for my fiancé and he loved it!Had a few issues with the release date being pushed back and delivery but he’s happy!

I haven't read the whole book yet, but I figured I'd put my review in here just to give other people a heads-up.This book is small. Definitely not the best coffee table book in the world.Also, there are no pictures. I guess I was expecting a little more production value for a book that claims to be almost 40 dollars CAD regular price.But I respect Iwata. RiP.

Eine liebevolle Ansammlung an einfühlsamen und intelligenten Berichten von Nintendos legendärem Präsidenten. Sei es zum Thema Spieleentwicklung, Mitarbeiterführung oder ganz simpel dem "Mensch sein", hatte Satoru Iwata eine philosophische Meinung von der wir uns alle eine Scheibe abschneiden können. Wie so oft ist, ist leider auch er, viel zu früh verstorben. Sein Vermächtn wird jedoch ewig weiterleben.Absolute Kaufempfehlung, nicht nur für Nintendo Fans.
