Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview: #1 I was hooked on a calculator made by HewlettPackard when I was in high school. I created a game and sent it to the HewlettPackard distributor in Japan. They were absolutely baffled. They must have been like, Whoa, what’s this high school whiz kid doing up in Sapporo. #2 I made some important connections at the Seibu computer store, which led me to meet the programmer who would be the strongest motivator for my future work. I spent all my savings and the money I was given when I entered college on a computer, and I took on a loan. #3 I was able to move up into a fulltime position as soon as I graduated university. I enjoyed what I was doing so much that it didn’t feel like work. The games that I developed involved big software ideas, and since they were praised for their technical abilities, they were able to get work consistently. #4 When I was president of HAL Laboratory, I had to figure out how to turn things around. I interviewed everyone at the company to find out their strengths and weaknesses, and I was blown away by how much I was learning.

Una recopilación de las sabias palabras del CEO de Nintendo más querido. Este libro es una recopilación de las palabras y reflexiones de Satoru Iwata, publicadas originalmente por Hobo Nikkan Itoi Shinbun en su página web. Además, una parte del texto también fue extraída de "Ask Iwata" (Iwata pregunta), una sección de la página web oficial de Nintendo. A pesar de desempeñar el papel de presidente, el señor Iwata rara vez hablaba de sí mismo cuando interactuaba con los medios. Únicamente cogía un micrófono para hablar en beneficio de la empresa o de algún proyecto, pero siempre manteniéndose a sí mismo en un segundo plano. Sin embargo, como muchos de nosotros sabemos, el señor Iwata era una persona sumamente honesta y coherente. Si observamos los distintos comentarios de las diferentes ocasiones en las que habló en público, como presidente y como desarrollador, sus palabras siempre surgían de forma natural, espontánea y desde el corazón, entre su propia percepción y sus experiencias. Este libro es la recopilación de todo ese conocimiento; de las sabías palabras del señor Iwata, en distintos medios y momentos. También se incluye una entrevista especial a Shigeru Miyamoto de Nintendo; quien conocía a Iwata mejor que nadie

THE CON50LE is a comprehensive yet conversational account of 50 years of home video gaming history, leaving no rarely sighted system unturned and providing a chronological account of the evolution of the biggest entertainment medium in the world. From the earliest consoles of the 1970s to the cutting-edge machines of the here and now, a line is drawn from one man’s eureka moment to the multi-billion-dollar global industry of today. All the well-known names and massive-selling consoles are here: the Nintendo Entertainment System, the SEGA Mega Drive, the Atari 2600, the Xbox 360, the PlayStation 2. But there’s plenty of room for hardware that many a gamer won’t have heard of before, from Japan-only releases and home computer conversions to ill-advised experiments with VHS and all manner of micro-console magic. Learn about the creators and their inspirations, the games that made the biggest consoles’ eternal reputations, and the failures and flops along the way. Even the consoles that came and went without notable commercial success left a mark, an imprint, on this compelling history – and THE CON50LE unravels it, explains it, one fascinating machine at a time.
