This time, Nishizawa Gakuen (Uragiri Monkey Kong), the first Yoshimoto comedian to work as a professional gamer, will appear as the presenter and talk about Nintendo’s history. “I’ve been playing Nintendo games for a long time, but I’ve only ever played them and wasn’t particularly knowledgeable about their history. This time, with the ‘Input’ part, I studied a lot. I thought it was an amazing company.” When Nishizawa said this, Higashino replied, “It shows up in ‘input,’ so you have to study, which is an amazing reversal phenomenon.” He was surprised that this young person, who was already knowledgeable, had taken in even more information, but he was also hopeful. That game saved us from a difficult time

Yamauchi is the third-generation president. He introduces Yokoi as a charismatic president who can recognize geniuses, and talks about his success in creating playing cards featuring a certain character and the first playing cards in Japan. Next up is Yokoi. Yamauchi speaks, and they look back on his achievements, including how something he created for fun became a commercial hit, and the sale of the legendary “Game & Watch.” It also turns out that Yokoi developed something that would become essential for future games… Starting with a talk by Miyamoto, the creator of the “Mario,” “Donkey Kong,” “Zelda,” and “Pikmin” series, this program explores the history of the Famicom and subsequent home video game consoles. It also explores what happened to Nintendo with the emergence of hardware developed by other companies. The talk will cover a wide range of topics, including anecdotes about “Pokémon,” which saved Nintendo from a difficult time, and the hugely popular hardware invented by Iwata. A must-see for game fans and non-fans alike. “Higashino Yamazato’s Input” is currently airing every Sunday from 11:00 PM (including reruns). It will be available for catch-up streaming on the BS Yoshimoto archive page for two weeks from the broadcast date, and will also be available on the BS Yoshimoto Official YouTube Channel.
