3 things that i always found funny about this 1.) the general secretary is there looking at hanafuda cards and smoking a cigarette in the conference room 2.) man is playing super nintendo in shirt tie/ slacks 3.) miyamoto even after being in the company by that point in time for 17 years ... still is stuck in the same cubicle.
I don't think Miyamoto necessarily felt stuck in the cubicle. You can see he along with others, has random decorations or items to make that space his own. After all these years he would probably have an office by now if he were to choose to have one. But regardless, if it works it works.
+referral madness Actually, you're the dumbass because if you would have gone to Mexico, you would see that not all Mexicans are dark-there are a lot of us that look "white."
yeah they still follow that to this day. I don't know but this video made me think about being upset towards nintendo lately I guess I just have to have faith in them. I hope they keep creating awesome games for everyone to enjoy.
There sure is a competition Vs. the gamers who upload Nintendo-related content on internet! Jokes aside, pretty sure they had to notice Sony's Playstation when it came obvious that cartridges were not as great as compact discs.

@@henrybierman8431 yeah most asians age super well compared to white people, I mean even black people age well. Most asians look 10 years younger. Lot of oil in their skin and good eating habits.
"Who plays our games? What do they want" is the mentality that rose Nintendo to the top of the console market! Thank you for the memories, Mr. Miyamoto!
That's a pretty candid statement from Miyamoto when he questions whether he is more of a manager or a creative. He was probably being asked to do a lot around this time and I'm sure he was already more of a personnel manager.
Deplorabology the word “weeb” is fucking cringe as hell lol. It’s the same as Asians calling people who like Western culture as “dogs/slaves”. It’s fucking pathetic to the highest order. You’re just salty as fuck towards Japan. Nobody will take you seriously lol.
Schacher Schacher How the hell does her opinion make it “sarcastic”. Haters as so fucking cancerous lol. The salty ness in this comment is so fucking cringe lol. Japan’s one of the VERY few countries that actually has modern global influence in terms of culture (USA is obviously #1, but Japan with its manga/anime/games/...etc., makes it a solid #2. Only Britain has that much modern global cultural impact, but most of it is due to novels and stories that were written centuries ago. Kind of similar to China/India/Africa/Arab/France with its “ancient/mid-evil” routes.)
I went to Japan in 1999, and yes..90s Japan was awesome as hell. The music, culture, etc just seemed cooler back then. It reminded me of America in the 80s yhis was before the internet took off, so they were ahead of us in tech, but still lagging in pop culture..but that wasn't a bad thing at the time.
Fantastic. never knew this video existed, I love looking back at nintendo japan during this era with my magazines etc, got be one best youtube clips I've seen this year. thank you for uploading.
Depends a lot on how good you take care of yourself. I am 32 and I have noticed that a lot of my former classmates from junior high school have pretty much just allowed themselves to become overweight, and also have taken on a rather "old man" lifestyle in general. I still feel like I am 20-25 (and apparently I look kind of like that as well) and I make sure to stay in shape and have that youthful energy and attitude, and that definitely makes me feel way younger than some of my former junior high school classmates - they really seem to like to point out how "old" they have become, in a rather half-joking and half-serious manner.
They are probably close at this point in time; probably Mickey has more of a legacy by far still but Mario is probably the strongest gaming IP in existence and I wouldn't be surprised if they are about equally as 'well known' as one another
Anthony O'Brien Mario is more famous and recognized than Mickey. Mickey for many years have been in the shadows. When people think of Disney, they think of Toy Story, Lion King, Belle, Little Mermaid, etc. Mickey hasent been revelant for many many years. Not even a modern Disney movie about him.
R marc- not good at drawing? for a quick Mario sketch that was pretty solid. bear in mind Miyamoto is known to be a pretty good artist, he was seriously into drawing as a potential career before discovering the budding video game market
Necro reply, but Miyamoto has halls scoped out for him and he ducks in and out of places really fast these days. He's not a fan of spending inordinate time autographing, and if anyone is going to get one, a shitload are... So he doesn't. You've got to be very lucky to get one.
@@SOIBand It's more about a relation beetween 2 country since the berlin wall felt, >That's German-French connection for ya< and the love of japanese culture in France since long ago, to Akira Kurosawa (we still getting reedition of his movie here just like Takeshi Kitano), passing by Myiamoto, to inside Yakuza clan (Young Yakuza documentary), we got a lot of respectful documentary about japan and not just anime mania of today, mit Menschen, die grenzwertig degeneriert sind ;) Dragon Ball was huge in the 80's (first broadcast 26 februray 1986) with city hunter and 90's with DBZ/DBGT etc in France with Dorothé club unlike US who broadcast DB in 2003 and DBZ in 2009 and they also boycotted anime for a long time because of Disney, in France they bought a lot of anime licence in the 80's in France (even Rise of the north star, kids watching that shit at that time but with less serious dub, just imagine haha), also Myiamoto got the French Legion d'honneur with other French game designer (in 2006), they don't see Japan like a Disney Land country like everybody now or Americans, at least in that time... and obviously time changed. The French army even helped the Tokugawa shogunate (they didn't force them to anything unlike other countries and have a good relation since 1600 so they ask France help to modernize Japan army and society) and guess what "the last samurai" of the same movie name was the story of a french military (Jules Brunet) but like always hollywood like to reappropriate history or cultures to make their young country US great (in movies), they didn't participate into this because their was not interest for them like what they did with they ship and forced japan to their market (1858). Japanese art inspire a lot the French art, "japonism" (like "orientalism" inspired from middle east, and north africa) was everything about japan art and it inspire French impressionism art, and some art from japan were imported way before 1858... USA in the other hand with their insular country beetween canada and mexic were more about conquering, self-centered and destroying than/without knowing their neighbour and their arts or faith; until this day its the same, even if some good stuffs came from US also. let's refocus the subject : Arte is a channel in French and German and we have a lot of cultural exchange and shared documentary like this one in Arte channel for exemple... so this documentary of "Envoyé special" is one of those exchange. With English language; German language is a sine qua non language in French schools just like Französisch in Germany even if you have the choice to choose a different language. You probably know that if you're german since your gameplay is in German, maybe not that much if you're an Austrian. :)
It's so intriguing to see what it's like inside Nintendo, and doubly so when it comes to how they were in the 1990s. I'm glad this excerpt from the French documentary film it came from is up for everyone to watch! Also, Miyamoto's comment about whether or not Mario will become as popular as Mickey Mouse is really interesting. It might not be over fifty years since Mario made his debut, but if you ask me, he's definitely just as iconic as the leader of the club that's made for you and me at this stage; the fact that The Super Mario Bros. Movie is among the highest-grossing animated films of all time is really telling!
@@Oh-Ben Speaking as a fan of both characters, I don't think the fact that Mickey Mouse hasn't yet received a full length theatrical movie (not counting Fantasia) has anything to do with Mario becoming as iconic as him. While I wouldn't say that Disney would have zero faith in a full length film starring Mickey, as I imagine it'd make the company a whole lotta buckaroos on name recognition alone, it IS rather curious that such an obvious idea has yet to be done... Maybe if Mickey, Donald, Goofy: The Three Musketeers had a theatrical release instead of going straight to video, we could've seen it happen by now. Seriously, that film really deserved a theatrical release. Same with Animaniacs: Wakko's Wish.
Interesting, though the jumbling of game footage with the tester annoys me more than it should. They made it look like Star Fox is being played with a Super Scope.
Glad to do it. Can I ask where you found it? The video had been at about 4K views for months and today it is up to 38K. Very odd, but cool that people are enjoying a look at Nintendo from back in the day.
8:40 Interesting how even as far back as 1994 You had someone like Miyamoto worried about big budgets in Video games. This is years before you had games with crazy budgets like Final Fantasy VII or God of War III.
8:22 I think the strange photo is by June Abe "From 1982 to 1994 he was the official photographer for Byakko-sha (白虎社), a butoh dance group based in Kyoto.[3][4] In this capacity he travelled extensively in 1982 and 1983.[1]"
Here is the full film, without subtitles: th-cam.com/video/ohb0L0cV6e8/w-d-xo.html. With my limited French, I struggled. I definitely needed the German subtitles. I cannot find an English language version anywhere. I bought the physical copy in a store in Germany years ago.

This documentary is from the 90s (maybe from 93 because thats when Mario All Stars was new) but in the german translation they are converting yen prices to euro. Germany didn't have the euro until 2002. Really strange that they then went ahead and translated a then 10 year old documentary.
Just in case: This documentary was released in United States but with english dub, it's available in Pass the Popcorn (if you have an account of course),. Try to find Otaku -J.J.Beineix [rickyrip].avi
Miyamoto says we have to wait until Mario turns 50 years to compare and see if it's as famous as Mickey Mouse, I think we don't need to get there, Mario is as big cultural influence as Mickey Mouse in our current era
3 things that i always found funny about this
1.) the general secretary is there looking at hanafuda cards and smoking a cigarette in the conference room
2.) man is playing super nintendo in shirt tie/ slacks
3.) miyamoto even after being in the company by that point in time for 17 years ... still is stuck in the same cubicle.
I know. It is such a fascinating look at the company at that point in history.

Lets get this straight. Its a french documentary about a japanese company, dubbed in german with english subtitles.
Everybody wins!
LOL thats what i was giong to say..
sounds a bit like mario, an Italian plumber created by a japanese man, who speaks english and looks like a mexican.
+referral madness Actually, you're the dumbass because if you would have gone to Mexico, you would see that not all Mexicans are dark-there are a lot of us that look "white."
The overdub was after 2000 cause the Euro was released in 2000, before it was the deutsche mark in germany

That's why Link is left handed also.
Sadly I think Links days of being a lefty are finished from what we've seen in Breath of the Wild.

it's not a shame. they have rights not to show the public secret information

Well, not everything. Watch the drawing of Miyamoto closer. There is the "Super Mario Bros" writing... in the style of sm64 if i'm not mistaken
Dont think so....the documentary is from 1992...the development of N64 (project reality) did not start until august 1993.
