We've been talking about it for over a week. Now you can read the entire Nintendo developer roundtable transcript, including PGC's contribution!

Discuss it in Talkback!

GameSpot has finished transcribing last week's Nintendo developer roundtable discussion, in which Miyamoto, Iwata, and Tezuka, along with translator Bill Trinen, talked about the GameCube E3 lineup and answered a few questions from the media.

Naturally, PGC was there and you can bet we took our chance to ask a question of these Nintendo powerhouses! GameSpot's transcript doesn't include the names of those who asked questions, so we'll point out which one was ours:

Planet GameCube's Jonathan Metts: Mr. Miyamoto, I wanted to know what is your direct involvement with Metroid and maybe share some things that you've contributed. Also, how do you think the Japanese Metroid fans will accept this first-person view?

Shigeru Miyamoto: Well, first of all, I think the Japanese Metroid fans will think it's very cool. And, as I mentioned, when I first met the Retro team I knew that they were the ones I wanted to have to create Metroid. So, actually from the very initial stages of this project I've been directly involved as producer, and at EAD in Japan we have a total of three staff members who are always half directing the game in cooperation with Retro Studios. So our level of involvement is very high with the project.
