- This clip is an excerpt from the French documentary film "Otaku" by director Jean-Jacques Beineix from 1994. It appeared dubbed on German TV some time later, which is the version you are seeing here. It has, to my knowledge, never been released in English. The subtitles are my own.

Lets get this straight. Its a french documentary about a japanese company, dubbed in german with english subtitles.
Everybody wins!
LOL thats what i was giong to say..
sounds a bit like mario, an Italian plumber created by a japanese man, who speaks english and looks like a mexican.
+referral madness Actually, you're the dumbass because if you would have gone to Mexico, you would see that not all Mexicans are dark-there are a lot of us that look "white."
The overdub was after 2000 cause the Euro was released in 2000, before it was the deutsche mark in germany
3 things that i always found funny about this
1.) the general secretary is there looking at hanafuda cards and smoking a cigarette in the conference room
2.) man is playing super nintendo in shirt tie/ slacks
3.) miyamoto even after being in the company by that point in time for 17 years ... still is stuck in the same cubicle.
I know. It is such a fascinating look at the company at that point in history.
I don't think Miyamoto necessarily felt stuck in the cubicle. You can see he along with others, has random decorations or items to make that space his own. After all these years he would probably have an office by now if he were to choose to have one. But regardless, if it works it works.
watching Miyamoto draw put a big smile on my face.
Miyamoto was a manga artist before he got into videogames :)
CaptainGenius It really did.
Bitch
UKB Dubstep FuckTard
Holy shit! This man can draw!
Shigeru Miyamoto is a great man. I wonder if anyone will have the heart and mind to create a legacy as wonderful and fun as he has.
Is that a challenge
@@HyperMotionDX yes
Lol play starfox zero and try praising him after
That would be me sir.

"We try not to see other companies as competition .. We are only concerned with quality", ha! true even to this day.
yeah they still follow that to this day. I don't know but this video made me think about being upset towards nintendo lately I guess I just have to have faith in them. I hope they keep creating awesome games for everyone to enjoy.
After what's been going on with Nintendo recently, I feel half-bad seeing this comment.
There sure is a competition Vs. the gamers who upload Nintendo-related content on internet! Jokes aside, pretty sure they had to notice Sony's Playstation when it came obvious that cartridges were not as great as compact discs.

*beep* "Skipper, I have some sad news from the future. Nintendo is starting to lose quality with some of their products. It appears to have only affected their current controllers causing international joystick drift. If their products continue to lose their quality, I will come back with a status report! Kowalski signing out." *beep*
Miyamoto has barely aged.
I want that drawing.
He's like those twins from Eerie, Indiana!
R. Marc that was a good drawing
That drawing went on to sale for more than $100k on eBay last year
Miyamoto looks like a new Nintendo intern in this video but he is 40 years old
DAMN
I have a 60 years old Japanese teacher who looks mid 30s.
I was mostly amazed why he works in a small tight cubicle with this cheap looking chair, instead of being in his own office. Very humble in a way but also weird.
He ages really well. Now he looks like he is fifty, but he's actually like 70
@@henrybierman8431 yeah most asians age super well compared to white people, I mean even black people age well. Most asians look 10 years younger. Lot of oil in their skin and good eating habits.
@@mielthesquid6536 its mainly genetics tbh
This is the first Nintendo Direct
Never thought of that. You're right!
"Who plays our games? What do they want" is the mentality that rose Nintendo to the top of the console market! Thank you for the memories, Mr. Miyamoto!
That's a pretty candid statement from Miyamoto when he questions whether he is more of a manager or a creative. He was probably being asked to do a lot around this time and I'm sure he was already more of a personnel manager.
what a rare look into the past, thanks for uploading this
No problem at all. Glad you enjoyed it.
When Miyamoto started drawing, I realized that...HE IS LEFT HANDED!!!
WOW!! NO SHIT??
Do you know how hard is to draw on left handed? Hhhmmm???
Same for me
@@TheBongoBonk Butthurt.
I'm left handed, I draw. MIAMOTO-SAN
Wow, questioning whether Mario will be as big as Mickey Mouse. This really shows its age.
They are probably close at this point in time; probably Mickey has more of a legacy by far still but Mario is probably the strongest gaming IP in existence and I wouldn't be surprised if they are about equally as 'well known' as one another
Anthony O'Brien Mario is more famous and recognized than Mickey. Mickey for many years have been in the shadows. When people think of Disney, they think of Toy Story, Lion King, Belle, Little Mermaid, etc. Mickey hasent been revelant for many many years. Not even a modern Disney movie about him.
And Mario's only 35.
@@mountaindewslave Its funny cause i know people who have no idea who mario is.
Disneys modern answer to that: If you can't beat them, buy them. They don't even need Mickey Mouse anymore when they own Marvel.
Holy Shit! Myamoto looks 20 years but he is actually 40!!
Depends a lot on how good you take care of yourself.
I am 32 and I have noticed that a lot of my former classmates from junior high school have pretty much just allowed themselves to become overweight, and also have taken on a rather "old man" lifestyle in general.
I still feel like I am 20-25 (and apparently I look kind of like that as well) and I make sure to stay in shape and have that youthful energy and attitude, and that definitely makes me feel way younger than some of my former junior high school classmates - they really seem to like to point out how "old" they have become, in a rather half-joking and half-serious manner.
He's Japanese that's why!
@@shimizukebin more like, he's a vampire. That's why!
Laurelindo it’s also genetics. My Dad is 49 and he doesn’t have grey hair.
Japan in the 90's was rad as hell
Deplorabology the word “weeb” is fucking cringe as hell lol. It’s the same as Asians calling people who like Western culture as “dogs/slaves”. It’s fucking pathetic to the highest order.
You’re just salty as fuck towards Japan. Nobody will take you seriously lol.
Schacher Schacher How the hell does her opinion make it “sarcastic”. Haters as so fucking cancerous lol.
The salty ness in this comment is so fucking cringe lol. Japan’s one of the VERY few countries that actually has modern global influence in terms of culture (USA is obviously #1, but Japan with its manga/anime/games/...etc., makes it a solid #2. Only Britain has that much modern global cultural impact, but most of it is due to novels and stories that were written centuries ago. Kind of similar to China/India/Africa/Arab/France with its “ancient/mid-evil” routes.)
I went to Japan in 1999, and yes..90s Japan was awesome as hell. The music, culture, etc just seemed cooler back then. It reminded me of America in the 80s yhis was before the internet took off, so they were ahead of us in tech, but still lagging in pop culture..but that wasn't a bad thing at the time.
@@roccoanthony8930
It's "medieval" not "mid-evil" 😂😂
The 80s was better
French documentary, German dubbed, English translated, about a Japanese company.
thats globalization for ya :D
Who made an Italian plumber
@@TariqYasiinProd has an American Brooklyn accent
haha ja
@@SOIBand It's more about a relation beetween 2 country since the berlin wall felt, >That's German-French connection for ya< and the love of japanese culture in France since long ago, to Akira Kurosawa (we still getting reedition of his movie here just like Takeshi Kitano), passing by Myiamoto, to inside Yakuza clan (Young Yakuza documentary), we got a lot of respectful documentary about japan and not just anime mania of today, mit Menschen, die grenzwertig degeneriert sind ;)
Dragon Ball was huge in the 80's (first broadcast 26 februray 1986) with city hunter and 90's with DBZ/DBGT etc in France with Dorothé club unlike US who broadcast DB in 2003 and DBZ in 2009 and they also boycotted anime for a long time because of Disney, in France they bought a lot of anime licence in the 80's in France (even Rise of the north star, kids watching that shit at that time but with less serious dub, just imagine haha), also Myiamoto got the French Legion d'honneur with other French game designer (in 2006), they don't see Japan like a Disney Land country like everybody now or Americans, at least in that time... and obviously time changed.
The French army even helped the Tokugawa shogunate (they didn't force them to anything unlike other countries and have a good relation since 1600 so they ask France help to modernize Japan army and society) and guess what "the last samurai" of the same movie name was the story of a french military (Jules Brunet) but like always hollywood like to reappropriate history or cultures to make their young country US great (in movies), they didn't participate into this because their was not interest for them like what they did with they ship and forced japan to their market (1858).
Japanese art inspire a lot the French art, "japonism" (like "orientalism" inspired from middle east, and north africa) was everything about japan art and it inspire French impressionism art, and some art from japan were imported way before 1858... USA in the other hand with their insular country beetween canada and mexic were more about conquering, self-centered and destroying than/without knowing their neighbour and their arts or faith; until this day its the same, even if some good stuffs came from US also.
let's refocus the subject :
Arte is a channel in French and German and we have a lot of cultural exchange and shared documentary like this one in Arte channel for exemple... so this documentary of "Envoyé special" is one of those exchange.
With English language; German language is a sine qua non language in French schools just like Französisch in Germany even if you have the choice to choose a different language.
You probably know that if you're german since your gameplay is in German, maybe not that much if you're an Austrian. :)
Thank you for the excellent subtitle translations!
No problem! Glad you enjoyed the segment.
Game Escape didn't know Miyamoto professional alybdrew.
Game Escape drew
Interesting, though the jumbling of game footage with the tester annoys me more than it should. They made it look like Star Fox is being played with a Super Scope.
Miyamoto drew that book, and made the Mario fronts and everything never doubting his cartooning ability.
This is great. Thank you so much for translating and posting this.
Fantastic. never knew this video existed, I love looking back at nintendo japan during this era with my magazines etc, got be one best youtube clips I've seen this year. thank you for uploading.
+KThxsBy Thanks! Glad to do it.
I'd love to meet Miyamoto one day. If I ever received a drawing like that from him, I would frame that thing and hang it on a wall for sure.
R marc- not good at drawing? for a quick Mario sketch that was pretty solid. bear in mind Miyamoto is known to be a pretty good artist, he was seriously into drawing as a potential career before discovering the budding video game market
Necro reply, but Miyamoto has halls scoped out for him and he ducks in and out of places really fast these days. He's not a fan of spending inordinate time autographing, and if anyone is going to get one, a shitload are... So he doesn't. You've got to be very lucky to get one.
Miyamoto's signature is so cute, love his sketching!
This was so awesome! Thank you for posting this!
Thanks so much for uploading this, my childhood is now complete!
Glad it brought back memories. I was intrigued when I stumbled across the DVD.
I miss the 90s so much
Thank you for posting the vid. What I wouldn't give for that sketch?!
9:35 It just comes out of Miyamoto's hands like it's magic.
I’m a huge Nintendo fan and had never seen this footage before. Awesome video!!!
Glad you enjoyed it. When I found this, I knew I had to translated and upload it. I had never seen this anywhere else before.
@@GameEscape I’m glad you uploaded the video! Thanks for your kind reply.
Thanks for uploading this!
Incredible. Thanks so much for sharing this, Game Escape.
Inside nintendo, this is very rare
awesome. thanks for posting
No problem. Glad people are liking this video.
This was so awesome. Thank you very much for translating.
No problem. Glad to do it!
My goodness, I'd love to have a drawing like that. I hope it's framed somewhere.
Thank you so much for this!
This is super interesting thanks for giving it English subtitles much appreciated
thanks for sharing this video, it is really great
Wow, this is terrific! I would like to see the whole thing.
just subscribed, awesome work with the subtitles.
Thanks so much!
Whoa, Miyamoto is a lefty! Never knew that xD
That's why Link is left handed also.
Sadly I think Links days of being a lefty are finished from what we've seen in Breath of the Wild.
Thank you. As an English speaker these German subtitles are exactly what I needed.
fun fact, they were probably working on sm64 at that time, and they hidded everything!!! such a shame
Hid
it's not a shame. they have rights not to show the public secret information
Every copy is personalized
Well, not everything. Watch the drawing of Miyamoto closer. There is the "Super Mario Bros" writing... in the style of sm64 if i'm not mistaken
Dont think so....the documentary is from 1992...the development of N64 (project reality) did not start until august 1993.
8:22 I think the strange photo is by June Abe
"From 1982 to 1994 he was the official photographer for Byakko-sha (白虎社), a butoh dance group based in Kyoto.[3][4] In this capacity he travelled extensively in 1982 and 1983.[1]"
5:49 Myamoto forgot that he is already 41 at that time. His Birthday is Nov. 16 1952
Really interesting. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much. I learnt so much about the big N Nintendo & Mr. Myamoto.
It's so intriguing to see what it's like inside Nintendo, and doubly so when it comes to how they were in the 1990s. I'm glad this excerpt from the French documentary film it came from is up for everyone to watch!
Also, Miyamoto's comment about whether or not Mario will become as popular as Mickey Mouse is really interesting. It might not be over fifty years since Mario made his debut, but if you ask me, he's definitely just as iconic as the leader of the club that's made for you and me at this stage; the fact that The Super Mario Bros. Movie is among the highest-grossing animated films of all time is really telling!
Surprised to see they'd take an interview, especially at the height of their golden age. They're usually opaque as fuck.
Nintedo: Videogames are fun!
EA: Videogames make money!
Ubisoft: Videogames are big!
Activision: Videogames is CoD!
Blizzard: Videogames take forever to make!
Valve: Bitch plz.
Valve: Oh look money
What's Sony and Xbox?
Konami: What's a "Video Game"?
Guilherme Sena lololololool 10 points for this nigga
$ATVI
I like to rewatch this every once in a while
90s japan :D
Any more interviews, Nintendo or not, like this on the interwebs? Content and narrative was great
one guy with bazooka, another always with cigarette, great ;)
thanks for the video. very interesting.
Glad you liked it. I think I'll follow up with a translation of the segment on the first Street Fighter tournament right before evo.
Nintendo was my biggest obsession, without them I wouldn't have a passion in life.
Wow! Excellent quality! I'd love to see a lot more.. where is the entire film?
Here is the full film, without subtitles: ruclips.net/video/ohb0L0cV6e8/видео.html. With my limited French, I struggled. I definitely needed the German subtitles. I cannot find an English language version anywhere. I bought the physical copy in a store in Germany years ago.
I love this video for it lets us see people doing their craft
Agreed. 90s Nintendo was a true bastion of creativity.
OMG D:
Thanks for sharing this video
Glad to do it. Can I ask where you found it? The video had been at about 4K views for months and today it is up to 38K. Very odd, but cool that people are enjoying a look at Nintendo from back in the day.
It was featured on kotaku
I found this video on Tecmundo, a brazilian website about technology.
Wonderful! Thanks! :D
Oh wow! mayamoto drawing, love that..
What song is that at the beginning?
This nigga is 62 now OHHHH MYYYY GOD! Miyamoto plz keep living till your over 80years
Please dont say this again today
thanks for sharing Game Escape
Cool video. You don't see these type of videos everyday. As always, thanks again.
I just want Miyamoto to draw something for me, I could die happily that same day >o
Amazing.
Thank you for Super Mario! Love from India! I was 10 years old when I played it, now I am 40, Me and my kid still enjoy Super Mario in NES! :)
That's awesome. Nintendo games from this era are timeless. Glad your enjoying them with you kids.
This documentary is from the 90s (maybe from 93 because thats when Mario All Stars was new) but in the german translation they are converting yen prices to euro. Germany didn't have the euro until 2002. Really strange that they then went ahead and translated a then 10 year old documentary.
Can I start working on Portuguese subtitles for this?
Go for it.
So cute when he's holding plush mario /.\
Shigeru Miyamoto is the best! He’s going down in history as an absolute ICON in the video game department!!! 😁😁😁🤩🤩🤩
Was the opening music from Earthbound? It gave me some hard Earthbound flashbacks.
is there a french version available ?
bro hear me out, keep safe those videos.
They are worth of golds.
I sure hope Miyamoto isnt still working in that tiny cubicle. He's the flipping Walt Disney of the gaming industry.
He’s on the board of directors of Nintendo
Muito inteligente, esse cara criou um personagem que trás muitas nostalgias para o mundo inteiro.
Provavelmente ele tem o melhor emprego do mundo.
That draw that he made and he signed.... that thing already costs lots of thousands of dollars...I wish I had it so I can have it on my wall :)
That drawing is probably the most valued nintendo artifact ever
Just in case: This documentary was released in United States but with english dub, it's available in Pass the Popcorn (if you have an account of course),. Try to find Otaku -J.J.Beineix [rickyrip].avi
Song at the start?
5:46 dat telecaster in the corner tho
interestingly it isn't a left handed one, which made me realize he isn't a full lefty
Bro. Its as if they restored the tape. THATS CLEAN
This is awesome!
+AceTechHD Thanks. I always thought it was a shame that this was never released in English. I finally got the time to do the translation today.
+Game Escape Thank you!
I've got a bit of a curios question: early on in the video it is mentioned that the Super Famicom sells for over 200 Euro. And this documentary first aired in 1994, right? But the Euro didn't even come into existence until 1999. So is it a case of this German dub airing on TV after 1999, or did you subtitle it as Euro to be more easily understandable for modern viewers? I felt like I could make out the German voice over guy saying the word "Euro", but as I don't speak German myself I'm not 100% sure.
Juat a bit of an odd observation :P
The German dub does indeed use Euro. The German version of the film was broadcast in 2002, so at that point the Euro was in full circulation. You're right, it does create an odd dissonance when you first see it.
Game Escape Thanks for clearing that up for me :). Curious that they aired a documentary that, given the subject, was relatively old in 2002. But I guess the full doc dealed with more things than just Nintendo, judging by its name, making it a bit more evergreen.
Regardless, thanks for subbing and uploading it. I always find old footage and articles about Nintendo really fascinating, especially seeing how much of their philosophies still seemingly have remained the same to this day. They, and Miyamoto especially, really have a unique approach to video games few other creators have.
what a legend.
What is the intro music? Sounds like earthbound!
Why does the voiceover convert a price to Euros, when Germany used the Deutschemark during the SNES era?
+Dan200 Yeah, I guess it was released much later in Germany. The DVD is from 2003.
Im so glad im not the only one who thought of this lol
Mich irretiert das diese kurze Reportage aus 1994 sein soll, aber im Video wird schon über die Währung Euro gesprochen, obwohl 1994 in Deutschland und Frankreich noch die "D-Mark" und "Franc" die übliche Währung gewesen ist.
4:11 Mir gefällt zudem die Frage und Besonders die Antwort, denn die Antwort ist sympathisch.
Danke für das hochladen.
It uses euro because the dub was made in 2002, also thanks for existing german comment
Documentary is from 1994. They talk about Euro prices. So the German version of this version was released after January 2002.
What happen to the English subtitle???
looking at miyamoto pet the mario plush is so adorable
it's like a father-son moment
I would frame that drawing in gold wow ❤❤❤
I was about to say the same thing. I’d pay millions of dollars for that, assuming that I had millions of dollars at my disposal of course.
Interesting development hardware, game PCBs without cases in the dev consoles etc, never see this stuff!
straight legend
best video game company of all time
The beginning until 0:50 sounds like Buzz Buzz's Prophecy.
I noticed that too.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought so
super das die folge auf german ist
Thanks for existing german comment
whew I was 8 years old then
I cried when Miyamoto san created the sketch at the end
