Nintendo's Yoshio Sakamoto will talk at GDC about his experiences with Metroid, WarioWare and Tomodachi Collection.
Game Developer Conference organizers have revealed a surprise lecture from Metroid creator Yoshio Sakamoto entitled "From Metroid to Tomodachi Collection to Wario Ware: Different Approaches to Different Audiences." This will be the first time Sakamoto addresses a North American audience.
The lecture will detail Sakamoto's history at Nintendo, starting in 1982 with the Nintendo Entertainment System in Japan. It will also talk about Sakamoto's involvement in projects for both core and casual audiences, and how some of the design techniques have allowed him to reach both audiences.
Other developers confirmed to appear at GDC 2010 include Lionhead's Peter Molyneux, Double Fine's Tim Schafer and Sid Meier, creator of the Civilization game series.
