Revealing the 4th Easter Egg, also reveals just how scary fanboys can be...
I was relatively cool at E3 2002. I had been there before, and was very focused on the DVD and the shots I needed to get. That all changed when I saw the opportunity to meet Shigeru Miyamoto.
I threw my camera to fellow staffer Mike Kielas and he captured me shaking Shiggy's hand as he went offstage at the press conference. It was perfect. What wasn't so perfect was the guy who bumped into Mike while he was showing the footage to someone and he erased every second of it. (sigh)
So we both went back to the room and swore we'd track him down again. Unfortunately he was backstage, and we couldn't just barge in and start shooting...or could we?
After a few minutes of waiting, I finally turned to Mike and said: "I'm just goin' in, start taping and see what happens."
What happened was incredible. Not only was he completely cool with it, he offered to go back onstage next to the Nintendo sign so I could get a good picture. Then, as if this wasn't enough, the man says, "I love Planet GameCube" for us.
ARE YOU FRIGGIN' KIDDING ME!?!
Unbelievable. A moment I'll never forget, and neither will you now that I can reveal how to see it on your Planet GameCube DVD:
On the picture entitled, "Shiggy rockin' the Mario," from the BACK button, press up and highlight the dot of the "i" in Nintendo. Hit Enter.
Giddy-Up.
