Iwata:

There were only two of you, but 30 of us, so you must have been under a lot of pressure. You were only 18 years old and in a different country, so it's only natural you would feel that way. (laughs)
Dylan:

But my impression of Japan, especially of Kyoto, of this town, was great. It suited me and I thought I wanted to work in Japan.
Iwata:

What did you like about Kyoto?
Dylan:

Well…
Miyamoto:

(whispering) The girls?
Dylan:

Well, yes. I was 18, so especially that. (laughs)
Everyone:

(laughs)
 
Was not aware Q-Games was handling this. I know it's just a port, but I'm still pretty happy they haven't seemed to botch it like they did with Star Fox Command.

Oh yes.

Iwata: What did you like about Kyoto?

Everyone: (laughs)

EDIT: ARGH BEATEN
 
Iwata:

For the packaging of the Super Famicom version, you made puppets and photographed them. Why did you decide on that kind of design?
Miyamoto:

I always loved English puppet drama, like the Thunderbirds.13 13. Thunderbirds: A television special effects series featuring puppets. It was produced in England in 1965 and broadcast the same year in Japan on NHK.
Iwata:

I loved that, too! (laughs)
Miyamoto:

Back when we released it, I imagined Star Fox selling a lot and the company that produced Thunderbirds coming all the way from England for negotiations to adapt it into a puppet drama.
Iwata:

Uh-huh. (laughs)
Miyamoto:

And then I would say, "To be honest, I've always loved Thunderbirds." Licensing it out by saying so was a dream of mine. And that's all it ever was! (laughs)

lololololol
 
I love all of Miyamoto's weird ideas that just work. He'll be like... "Hey! Foxes!" "Hey!" Stage fighting!" and insist is make it into the game, and they somehow pull it off.
 
This Iwata Asks is hilarious
Iwata:

So Miyamoto-san spoke English and Dylan-san, you spoke Japanese?
Dylan:

That's right.
Iwata:

I suppose that was the best way to study.
Miyamoto:

I made rapid progress back then. (laughs)
Dylan:

Yes, because we did it almost every day. And Miyamoto-san would try hard to tell the most ridiculous jokes in English. (laughs)
Iwata:

Young Miyamoto-san's typical Japanese old guy's fall-flat jokes? (laughs)
Dylan:

Yeah! (laughs) But that was fun. Thanks to that, I was able to study a lot about Japanese culture.
 
Falco is a pheasant? That explains why he doesn't look much like a falcon. Falcons aren't blue, but pheasants can be.
 
Amano:

Well, once I got used to it, it was fun. At first glance, Star Fox looks like a shooting game, so I thought the objective was to shoot enemies, but after I'd played it a few times, I noticed how fun it was to slip through narrow places.

agreed, hope the next one has more of this, 64 is lacking in this aspect regarding the snes one.
 
Miyamoto: But that is how much I feel like the Nintendo 3DS system really gives the game a greater feeling of outer space. I told Dylan-san that if this game wasn't interesting, I couldn't make any more Star Fox games!

Dylan: You did say that.

Miyamoto: I said, "If first-time players like this game, Star Fox will be reborn!" That's how much I'm counting on this one game!

Iwata: The future of Star Fox depends on the reception it finds.

Welp.

Isn't this game bombing in Japan?

Wait Dylan Cuthbert's only 18....really?

If he worked on Star Fox 64 and was only 18 just now he would be a small child right now. God damn. I don't know if people are trolling or what.

I really need to go read the Iwata Asks. I haven't been keeping up with anything lately. :/

It's like we need to start organized efforts to get people to buy games these days. One after another keeps bombing, and I can't see that helping the industry at all...

I'll buy Star Fox 64 3D for sure. :)
