Iwata: For the third part of this series, I would like to interview the two men who were in charge of the software development of Wii Fit. For starters, could you two introduce yourselves and briefly describe your responsibilities in developing Wii Fit?

Sugiyama: I’m Tadashi Sugiyama from the Entertainment Analysis & Development Division, and I was the producer for this software. In the past, I was involved in the development of games, including the Mario Kart series, so this project was pretty different to say the least! (laughs)

Iwata: Sugiyama-san and I go a long way back to the days of the Nintendo Entertainment System. He did the pixel art for the first NES title I programmed. I can’t tell you which game it was, though! (laughs)
