This news just came in this morning: Yoshio Sakamoto, the director of the Metroid series as well as WarioWare, will be presenting a lecture at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco! His lecture, "From Metroid to Tomodachi Collection to WarioWare: Different Approaches for Different Audiences", will cover his work in the videogames industry from 1982 to the present and his philosophy on game design, particularly in how he constantly challenges himself and his teams to create games that appeal to players of all kinds. His latest game is Tomodachi Collection for the DS, where characters talk, dance, sing, and dream, was recently released in Japan. However, discount tickets are only available for until the end of Thursday! GDC Main Conference tickets begin at $875 and go up from there. If anyone is attending, please contact us!

I also suspect that Mr. Sakamoto will be receiving a lifetime achievement award for his work with Nintendo (though personally I feel they should present it to him next year after everyone is blown out of the water by Other M). Last year, Hideo Kojima was granted a lifetime achievement award for his work with Metal Gear Solid - they don't fly a big name out to San Francisco and have him give a talk for nothing!

Until next time...
