- This clip is an excerpt from the French documentary film "Otaku" by director Jean-Jacques Beineix from 1994. It appeared dubbed on German TV some time later, which is the version you are seeing here. It has, to my knowledge, never been released in English. The subtitles are my own.

3 things that i always found funny about this
1.) the general secretary is there looking at hanafuda cards and smoking a cigarette in the conference room
2.) man is playing super nintendo in shirt tie/ slacks
3.) miyamoto even after being in the company by that point in time for 17 years ... still is stuck in the same cubicle.
I know. It is such a fascinating look at the company at that point in history.
I don't think Miyamoto necessarily felt stuck in the cubicle. You can see he along with others, has random decorations or items to make that space his own. After all these years he would probably have an office by now if he were to choose to have one. But regardless, if it works it works.
Lets get this straight. Its a french documentary about a japanese company, dubbed in german with english subtitles.
Everybody wins!
LOL thats what i was giong to say..
sounds a bit like mario, an Italian plumber created by a japanese man, who speaks english and looks like a mexican.
+referral madness Actually, you're the dumbass because if you would have gone to Mexico, you would see that not all Mexicans are dark-there are a lot of us that look "white."
The overdub was after 2000 cause the Euro was released in 2000, before it was the deutsche mark in germany
watching Miyamoto draw put a big smile on my face.
Miyamoto was a manga artist before he got into videogames :)
CaptainGenius It really did.
Bitch
UKB Dubstep FuckTard
Holy shit! This man can draw!
Miyamoto looks like a new Nintendo intern in this video but he is 40 years old
DAMN
I have a 60 years old Japanese teacher who looks mid 30s.
I was mostly amazed why he works in a small tight cubicle with this cheap looking chair, instead of being in his own office. Very humble in a way but also weird.
He ages really well. Now he looks like he is fifty, but he's actually like 70
@@henrybierman8431 yeah most asians age super well compared to white people, I mean even black people age well. Most asians look 10 years younger. Lot of oil in their skin and good eating habits.
@@mielthesquid6536 its mainly genetics tbh
"We try not to see other companies as competition .. We are only concerned with quality", ha! true even to this day.
yeah they still follow that to this day. I don't know but this video made me think about being upset towards nintendo lately I guess I just have to have faith in them. I hope they keep creating awesome games for everyone to enjoy.
After what's been going on with Nintendo recently, I feel half-bad seeing this comment.
There sure is a competition Vs. the gamers who upload Nintendo-related content on internet! Jokes aside, pretty sure they had to notice Sony's Playstation when it came obvious that cartridges were not as great as compact discs.

*beep* "Skipper, I have some sad news from the future. Nintendo is starting to lose quality with some of their products. It appears to have only affected their current controllers causing international joystick drift. If their products continue to lose their quality, I will come back with a status report! Kowalski signing out." *beep*
Shigeru Miyamoto is a great man. I wonder if anyone will have the heart and mind to create a legacy as wonderful and fun as he has.
Is that a challenge
@@HyperMotionDX yes
Lol play starfox zero and try praising him after
That would be me sir.
@@lncstr01 Lol
Miyamoto has barely aged.
I want that drawing.
He's like those twins from Eerie, Indiana!
R. Marc that was a good drawing
That drawing went on to sale for more than $100k on eBay last year
"Who plays our games? What do they want" is the mentality that rose Nintendo to the top of the console market! Thank you for the memories, Mr. Miyamoto!
That's a pretty candid statement from Miyamoto when he questions whether he is more of a manager or a creative. He was probably being asked to do a lot around this time and I'm sure he was already more of a personnel manager.
what a rare look into the past, thanks for uploading this
No problem at all. Glad you enjoyed it.
Japan in the 90's was rad as hell
Deplorabology the word “weeb” is fucking cringe as hell lol. It’s the same as Asians calling people who like Western culture as “dogs/slaves”. It’s fucking pathetic to the highest order.
You’re just salty as fuck towards Japan. Nobody will take you seriously lol.
Schacher Schacher How the hell does her opinion make it “sarcastic”. Haters as so fucking cancerous lol.
The salty ness in this comment is so fucking cringe lol. Japan’s one of the VERY few countries that actually has modern global influence in terms of culture (USA is obviously #1, but Japan with its manga/anime/games/...etc., makes it a solid #2. Only Britain has that much modern global cultural impact, but most of it is due to novels and stories that were written centuries ago. Kind of similar to China/India/Africa/Arab/France with its “ancient/mid-evil” routes.)
I went to Japan in 1999, and yes..90s Japan was awesome as hell. The music, culture, etc just seemed cooler back then. It reminded me of America in the 80s yhis was before the internet took off, so they were ahead of us in tech, but still lagging in pop culture..but that wasn't a bad thing at the time.
@@roccoanthony8930
It's "medieval" not "mid-evil" 😂😂
The 80s was better
This is the first Nintendo Direct
Never thought of that. You're right!
When Miyamoto started drawing, I realized that...HE IS LEFT HANDED!!!
WOW!! NO SHIT??
Do you know how hard is to draw on left handed? Hhhmmm???
Same for me
@@TheBongoBonk Butthurt.
I'm left handed, I draw. MIAMOTO-SAN
Wow, questioning whether Mario will be as big as Mickey Mouse. This really shows its age.
They are probably close at this point in time; probably Mickey has more of a legacy by far still but Mario is probably the strongest gaming IP in existence and I wouldn't be surprised if they are about equally as 'well known' as one another
Anthony O'Brien Mario is more famous and recognized than Mickey. Mickey for many years have been in the shadows. When people think of Disney, they think of Toy Story, Lion King, Belle, Little Mermaid, etc. Mickey hasent been revelant for many many years. Not even a modern Disney movie about him.
And Mario's only 35.
@@mountaindewslave Its funny cause i know people who have no idea who mario is.
Disneys modern answer to that: If you can't beat them, buy them. They don't even need Mickey Mouse anymore when they own Marvel.
Thank you for the excellent subtitle translations!
No problem! Glad you enjoyed the segment.
Game Escape didn't know Miyamoto professional alybdrew.
Game Escape drew
Holy Shit! Myamoto looks 20 years but he is actually 40!!
Depends a lot on how good you take care of yourself.
I am 32 and I have noticed that a lot of my former classmates from junior high school have pretty much just allowed themselves to become overweight, and also have taken on a rather "old man" lifestyle in general.
I still feel like I am 20-25 (and apparently I look kind of like that as well) and I make sure to stay in shape and have that youthful energy and attitude, and that definitely makes me feel way younger than some of my former junior high school classmates - they really seem to like to point out how "old" they have become, in a rather half-joking and half-serious manner.
He's Japanese that's why!
@@shimizukebin more like, he's a vampire. That's why!
Laurelindo it’s also genetics. My Dad is 49 and he doesn’t have grey hair.
Interesting, though the jumbling of game footage with the tester annoys me more than it should. They made it look like Star Fox is being played with a Super Scope.
French documentary, German dubbed, English translated, about a Japanese company.
thats globalization for ya :D
Who made an Italian plumber
@@TariqYasiinProd has an American Brooklyn accent
haha ja
@@SOIBand It's more about a relation beetween 2 country since the berlin wall felt, >That's German-French connection for ya< and the love of japanese culture in France since long ago, to Akira Kurosawa (we still getting reedition of his movie here just like Takeshi Kitano), passing by Myiamoto, to inside Yakuza clan (Young Yakuza documentary), we got a lot of respectful documentary about japan and not just anime mania of today, mit Menschen, die grenzwertig degeneriert sind ;)
Dragon Ball was huge in the 80's (first broadcast 26 februray 1986) with city hunter and 90's with DBZ/DBGT etc in France with Dorothé club unlike US who broadcast DB in 2003 and DBZ in 2009 and they also boycotted anime for a long time because of Disney, in France they bought a lot of anime licence in the 80's in France (even Rise of the north star, kids watching that shit at that time but with less serious dub, just imagine haha), also Myiamoto got the French Legion d'honneur with other French game designer (in 2006), they don't see Japan like a Disney Land country like everybody now or Americans, at least in that time... and obviously time changed.
The French army even helped the Tokugawa shogunate (they didn't force them to anything unlike other countries and have a good relation since 1600 so they ask France help to modernize Japan army and society) and guess what "the last samurai" of the same movie name was the story of a french military (Jules Brunet) but like always hollywood like to reappropriate history or cultures to make their young country US great (in movies), they didn't participate into this because their was not interest for them like what they did with they ship and forced japan to their market (1858).
Japanese art inspire a lot the French art, "japonism" (like "orientalism" inspired from middle east, and north africa) was everything about japan art and it inspire French impressionism art, and some art from japan were imported way before 1858... USA in the other hand with their insular country beetween canada and mexic were more about conquering, self-centered and destroying than/without knowing their neighbour and their arts or faith; until this day its the same, even if some good stuffs came from US also.
let's refocus the subject :
Arte is a channel in French and German and we have a lot of cultural exchange and shared documentary like this one in Arte channel for exemple... so this documentary of "Envoyé special" is one of those exchange.
With English language; German language is a sine qua non language in French schools just like Französisch in Germany even if you have the choice to choose a different language.
You probably know that if you're german since your gameplay is in German, maybe not that much if you're an Austrian. :)
Fantastic. never knew this video existed, I love looking back at nintendo japan during this era with my magazines etc, got be one best youtube clips I've seen this year. thank you for uploading.
+KThxsBy Thanks! Glad to do it.
Miyamoto drew that book, and made the Mario fronts and everything never doubting his cartooning ability.
Inside nintendo, this is very rare
I'd love to meet Miyamoto one day. If I ever received a drawing like that from him, I would frame that thing and hang it on a wall for sure.
R marc- not good at drawing? for a quick Mario sketch that was pretty solid. bear in mind Miyamoto is known to be a pretty good artist, he was seriously into drawing as a potential career before discovering the budding video game market
Necro reply, but Miyamoto has halls scoped out for him and he ducks in and out of places really fast these days. He's not a fan of spending inordinate time autographing, and if anyone is going to get one, a shitload are... So he doesn't. You've got to be very lucky to get one.
I miss the 90s so much
That song at the beginning reminds me of Earthbound, that song used for Buzz Buzz
Miyamoto's signature is so cute, love his sketching!
My goodness, I'd love to have a drawing like that. I hope it's framed somewhere.
9:35 It just comes out of Miyamoto's hands like it's magic.
Thanks so much for uploading this, my childhood is now complete!
Glad it brought back memories. I was intrigued when I stumbled across the DVD.
I’m a huge Nintendo fan and had never seen this footage before. Awesome video!!!
Glad you enjoyed it. When I found this, I knew I had to translated and upload it. I had never seen this anywhere else before.
@@GameEscape I’m glad you uploaded the video! Thanks for your kind reply.
8:40 Interesting how even as far back as 1994 You had someone like Miyamoto worried about big budgets in Video games. This is years before you had games with crazy budgets like Final Fantasy VII or God of War III.
Thank you for posting the vid. What I wouldn't give for that sketch?!
This is great. Thank you so much for translating and posting this.
8:22 I think the strange photo is by June Abe
"From 1982 to 1994 he was the official photographer for Byakko-sha (白虎社), a butoh dance group based in Kyoto.[3][4] In this capacity he travelled extensively in 1982 and 1983.[1]"
5:49 Myamoto forgot that he is already 41 at that time. His Birthday is Nov. 16 1952
That drawing is probably now framed and one of the most prized posessions of that TV Teams Member.
This was so awesome. Thank you very much for translating.
No problem. Glad to do it!
Surprised to see they'd take an interview, especially at the height of their golden age. They're usually opaque as fuck.
fun fact, they were probably working on sm64 at that time, and they hidded everything!!! such a shame
Hid
it's not a shame. they have rights not to show the public secret information
Every copy is personalized
Well, not everything. Watch the drawing of Miyamoto closer. There is the "Super Mario Bros" writing... in the style of sm64 if i'm not mistaken
Dont think so....the documentary is from 1992...the development of N64 (project reality) did not start until august 1993.
Thank you. As an English speaker these German subtitles are exactly what I needed.
It's so intriguing to see what it's like inside Nintendo, and doubly so when it comes to how they were in the 1990s. I'm glad this excerpt from the French documentary film it came from is up for everyone to watch!
Also, Miyamoto's comment about whether or not Mario will become as popular as Mickey Mouse is really interesting. It might not be over fifty years since Mario made his debut, but if you ask me, he's definitely just as iconic as the leader of the club that's made for you and me at this stage; the fact that The Super Mario Bros. Movie is among the highest-grossing animated films of all time is really telling!
Disney has zero faith in a mickey mouse movie. Its that telling.
@@Oh-Ben Speaking as a fan of both characters, I don't think the fact that Mickey Mouse hasn't yet received a full length theatrical movie (not counting Fantasia) has anything to do with Mario becoming as iconic as him. While I wouldn't say that Disney would have zero faith in a full length film starring Mickey, as I imagine it'd make the company a whole lotta buckaroos on name recognition alone, it IS rather curious that such an obvious idea has yet to be done...
Maybe if Mickey, Donald, Goofy: The Three Musketeers had a theatrical release instead of going straight to video, we could've seen it happen by now. Seriously, that film really deserved a theatrical release. Same with Animaniacs: Wakko's Wish.
Whoa, Miyamoto is a lefty! Never knew that xD
That's why Link is left handed also.
Sadly I think Links days of being a lefty are finished from what we've seen in Breath of the Wild.
Nintendo was my biggest obsession, without them I wouldn't have a passion in life.
awesome. thanks for posting
No problem. Glad people are liking this video.
Incredible. Thanks so much for sharing this, Game Escape.
At the time that this documentary was filming inside Nintendo HQ, a little secret project that they would have been working on was Yoshi's Island. 🏝️
Good point. I didn't realize that it, but it makes sense.
90s japan :D
4:06 the guy has the best job in the world.
This is super interesting thanks for giving it English subtitles much appreciated
¡Fantástico, este pequeño reportaje sobre Nintendo en la época del Super NES! A Shigeru Miyamoto se lo notaba bastante jóven; aparte que no sabía que él era zurdo. Muy bonito el dibujo que les obsequio con su firma al final... Saludos!
I sure hope Miyamoto isnt still working in that tiny cubicle. He's the flipping Walt Disney of the gaming industry.
He’s on the board of directors of Nintendo
I just want Miyamoto to draw something for me, I could die happily that same day >o
I like to rewatch this every once in a while
So cute when he's holding plush mario /.\
Wow, this is terrific! I would like to see the whole thing.
That drawing is probably the most valued nintendo artifact ever
Why does the voiceover convert a price to Euros, when Germany used the Deutschemark during the SNES era?
+Dan200 Yeah, I guess it was released much later in Germany. The DVD is from 2003.
Im so glad im not the only one who thought of this lol
I love this video for it lets us see people doing their craft
Agreed. 90s Nintendo was a true bastion of creativity.
Can I start working on Portuguese subtitles for this?
Go for it.
Thanks for uploading this!
Wow! Excellent quality! I'd love to see a lot more.. where is the entire film?
Here is the full film, without subtitles: ua-cam.com/video/ohb0L0cV6e8/v-deo.html. With my limited French, I struggled. I definitely needed the German subtitles. I cannot find an English language version anywhere. I bought the physical copy in a store in Germany years ago.
Brilliant work as always.
OMG D:
Thanks for sharing this video
Glad to do it. Can I ask where you found it? The video had been at about 4K views for months and today it is up to 38K. Very odd, but cool that people are enjoying a look at Nintendo from back in the day.
It was featured on kotaku
I found this video on Tecmundo, a brazilian website about technology.
Oh wow! mayamoto drawing, love that..
Thanks so much. I learnt so much about the big N Nintendo & Mr. Myamoto.
I just love the random Japanese guy chainsmoking and nodding in the corner
Documentary is from 1994. They talk about Euro prices. So the German version of this version was released after January 2002.
just subscribed, awesome work with the subtitles.
Thanks so much!
Golden age of videogames. Miss it a lot.
Any more interviews, Nintendo or not, like this on the interwebs? Content and narrative was great
Thank you for Super Mario! Love from India! I was 10 years old when I played it, now I am 40, Me and my kid still enjoy Super Mario in NES! :)
That's awesome. Nintendo games from this era are timeless. Glad your enjoying them with you kids.
That drawing by Shigeru could be sold for millions in auction.
Nice try Envoo
7:04 only 8 years away.
No need to wait, Super Mario already has one the highest-grossing animated movies of all time, behind only a Disney movie, coincidentally. I think it's safe to say that at least in cultural relevance, Mario is bigger than Mickey Mouse, if not Disney.
The beginning until 0:50 sounds like Buzz Buzz's Prophecy.
I noticed that too.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought so
7 years late but i thought that too
I wonder what qualifications one needed to have to get in there and code as a developer...
be japanese
Probably the same as becoming an animator at Disney. lol
Be japanese.
Probably go to Tokyo university
Is it just me or did Miyamoto get younger? Or do Japanese ppl age differently?
I think they start to get older, then they get younger, then they get older again.
man i just wanna smoke indoors while watching someone play starfox
This documentary is from the 90s (maybe from 93 because thats when Mario All Stars was new) but in the german translation they are converting yen prices to euro. Germany didn't have the euro until 2002. Really strange that they then went ahead and translated a then 10 year old documentary.
best video game company of all time
I was confused why this is german. I thought youtube had audio dubbing, well I'm glad I can understand this atleast
Thank you so much for this!
Mario’s turning 40 next year so… 11 more years to go!
At this point I don't think we have to wait till 50 years... it's fair to say mario is up there with mickey mouse
bro hear me out, keep safe those videos.
They are worth of golds.
thanks for sharing this video, it is really great
Fun fact: Super Mario is now more popular and well known than Mickey Mouse.
mickey is black
looking at miyamoto pet the mario plush is so adorable
it's like a father-son moment
HE WAS 40 DURING THIS INTERVIEW! I THOUGHT HE WAS 21 DEADASS!
Wish we can have another documentary at Nintendo Office again.
Just in case: This documentary was released in United States but with english dub, it's available in Pass the Popcorn (if you have an account of course),. Try to find Otaku -J.J.Beineix [rickyrip].avi
Cool video. You don't see these type of videos everyday. As always, thanks again.
9:10, employee asks Miyamoto if he can still draw....Miyamoto proceeds to put most of the staff to shame
Well the actual question is "do you still have time to draw?" to which Miyamoto replies: "Yes, sometimes". The english subtitles are wrong at that point
super das die folge auf german ist
Thanks for existing german comment
one guy with bazooka, another always with cigarette, great ;)
what a legend.
Star Fox with the Super Scope sounds like a lot of fun
I would frame that drawing in gold wow ❤❤❤
I was about to say the same thing. I’d pay millions of dollars for that, assuming that I had millions of dollars at my disposal of course.
タバコ吹かしてる今西若頭、貫禄あり過ぎ！w
Miyamoto + Telecaster =
A very decent man, Miyamoto. A very respectable company.
that drawing is worth money now.
So wholesome. Man I love Nintendo
