Hiroshi Yamauchi Talks About The 64DD In Newly Translated Press Conference From 1997

“The domestic video game market is clearly losing steam”.

Last year, while working on a feature about the Making of Mario Artist: Paint Studio, we contacted the Japanese-to-English translator Liz Bushouse to help translate some materials related to the 64DD — Nintendo’s Japan-only peripheral for the N64 that allowed players to use 64MB magnetic disks to open up new possibilities. This included some excerpts from a talk that Hiroshi Yamauchi gave on the first day of Spaceworld on November 21st, 1997 (as published in Famimaga 64 magazine in February 1998).

As so often happens while writing features, we didn’t necessarily find a way to incorporate all of this material into the finished piece but felt that we should still probably publish it in some form or another as it would potentially be of interest to readers.
