PEOPLE: - Shigeru Miyamoto, age 66. Creator of Zelda, & Mario. Pokémon Snap Producer. - Satoru Iwata, age 59. President of HAL, then Nintendo. Pokémon Snap Producer. QUOTE: Miyamoto: It was rare for Iwata and me to commit ourselves to the same game, but a notable exception was Pokémon Snap, for the Nintendo 64, where we were both deeply involved. I was working to make the photo-taking aspect more robust, but Iwata stressed that while a game where you take photos was a decent start, what really mattered was what you could photograph. Then at one point he told me “Miyamoto, I think it’s Pokémon. That’s what the people really want to photograph.”
