"The tape is crackly, and the live translation is not the best. Mr. Iwata, then two years into his tenure as Nintendo’s president, listens to my questions in English, answers in Japanese and then waits as his comments are translated for me.

The topic is the Nintendo DS, a then-upcoming Nintendo handheld that proved one of gaming’s biggest successes but at the time seemed like a potentially disastrous idea. Could it even be the end of Nintendo?"

I remember being skeptical of the DS because touch controls had usually sucked back then. I thought it was a gimmick.

I also thought the 3DS' 3D was just a gimmick. It was, but it was amazing technology! Much better than the Virtual Boy.

Of course, both consoles did really well. I was wrong about their futures! Lol
