Ah, any help to mark as not spam will be helpful if you can. Sending a reply to an email is as good a signal as you can send too if you fancy trying that.

Shigeru Miyamoto x Shigesato Itoi โ€“ 1989 Interview - shmuplations.com This lengthy interview captures a high-level meeting of the minds between Shigesato Itoi, Shigeru Miyamoto, and author Seiko Itou.

Today we have an amazing interview from 1989 with Shigeru Miyamoto and Shigesato Itoi. Conducted shortly after the release of Mother, it's full of deep musings about realism, creative exhaustion, the moral panic over kids & gaming, and prescient visions of the future. shmuplations.com/itoimiyamoto/

Nintendoโ€™s partners are selling $2 billion in shares โ€” hereโ€™s what that actually means Nintendo announced Friday that several of its long-time partners, including DeNA, will sell off some ยฅ300 billion in company shares. However, this isnโ€™t some money-raising initiative or cause for concern, more so an action thatโ€™s part of a broader shake-up of Japanโ€™s corporate shareholding practices. This sizeable change, as reported by Miho Uranaka for Reuters, [โ€ฆ]

Nintendo is about to have a big chunk of its shares sold โ€” but it's really just boring corporate plumbing.
