That was my impression too. Felt bad for the guy, although it almost sounded like he gave up at some point. The other translator(s) obviously had a clear script to work with whereas Suda probably decided to wing it.That was during Suda51's bit, right? I mean, Suda51 is an eccentric dude. I don't speak Japanese, so I just assumed that he was indeed saying lots of unscripted and untranslatable weird Suda51 stuff on stage and the translator just went "WTF???!?? PLZ HELP!!!"
That translator-BSoD was the best bit of the presentation, btw.
Nice to put faces to the names of some of the people who should be looking for new jobs in 4 years time.
Great write-up! I admit I've been too focused on the old guard to really get to know the "new" people. Koizumi seems like a guy who gets it. I never liked Miyamoto's insistence on keeping story completely out of his games. Zelda specifically has been in need of a narrative overhaul...

Bill Trinen let the new translators have a go at it. He'll be keeping his job.
What do you think of the new crowd? Nuke from orbit if bad thread.
Koizumi kicked ass. Squid research guy only other side I recall
Part of me really hopes koizumi is actually an amateur magician
If nothing else this was one of the bright spots of the show. Rather than Miyamoto Miyamoto Miyamoto, they are actually giving their important producers/directors a real chance at spotlight.
Koizumi isn't really a new face despite this being his first public appearance. He's been around since the early days of Nintendo's game development. He's a legend.

He's the one that wrote the script of story for Link's Awakening and directed Sunshine, Galaxy, Galaxy 2, Jungle Beat and many other fantastic games.
RoombaDance said:Yoshiaki Koizumi, your MC for the night, was the real star of the show. He has an impressive pedigree, from sneaking backstory into Miyamoto games to directing Donkey Kong Jungle Beat and Super Mario Galaxy. He went on to serve as the head of the Tokyo based Software Development Group 2, responsible for 3D Mario games. He serves as the Deputy General Manager of Nintendo Entertainment Planning & Development, which oversees all Nintendo game development. And of course is now General Manager for the Switch. If this post has some truth to it I have a feeling you're going to like him.

The impression I got from Koizumi tonight is that he absolutely saw this as his chance to be the new face of a multi-billion dollar international company.

Meet the new face, same as the old face.
Imagine working at Nintendo and having ambition.
Can't see the president as anything but an old Yakuza boss
Like none of them felt like they had any personality.
