About this episode
This week we welcome Nintendo legend Takaya Imamura, the visionary artist behind F-Zero, Star Fox, and Majora’s Mask. We hear some incredible stories from his three decades at Nintendo: from being interviewed by Shigeru Miyamoto, to creating Captain Falcon on a whim, to the wild one-year crunch that gave birth to Majora’s Mask. He reveals how a shrine in Kyoto inspired Fox McCloud, why Tingle was born out of pure exhaustion, and the surprising comic book roots of his latest project Omega Six. This chat was recorded live at Retromessa in Norway.Contents:00:00 - The Week's Retro News Stories 44:22 - Takaya Imamura InterviewPlease visit our amazing sponsors and help to support the show:Play Expo Blackpool: https://www.playexpoblackpool.com/Bitmap Books - https://www.bitmapbooks.comCheck out PCBWay at https://pcbway.com for all your PCB needsTake your business to the next level today and enjoy 3 months of Shopify for £1/month: https://shopify.co.uk/retrohourWe need your help to ensure the future of the podcast, if you'd like to help us with running costs, equipment and hosting, please consider supporting us on Patreon:https://theretrohour.com/support/https://www.patreon.com/retrohourGet your Retro Hour merchandise: https://bit.ly/33OWBKdJoin our Discord channel: https://discord.gg/GQw8qp8Website: http://theretrohour.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/theretrohour/X: https://twitter.com/retrohourukInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/retrohouruk/Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/theretrohour.comTwitch: https://www.twitch.tv/theretrohourShow notesDreamcast Wireless Controller: https://tinyurl.com/yzr5kwdxFallout 1 3D: https://tinyurl.com/476fu3b4Vectrex Mini Updates: https://tinyurl.com/3hs2sphwLimited Run FMV Games: https://tinyurl.com/yc23t2fuClive Sinclair Comedy: https://tinyurl.com/56s3hyhrWolfhound Trailer: https://youtu.be/bBVXgchDEXk
