Ask Iwata: Words of Wisdom from Nintendo's Legendary CEO is finally available in English. The book launched today, April 13, in physical and digital editions in North America. Amazon is offering a small discount on the book right now, dropping the price to $20.49. The book, which originally released in 2019, was localized by Viz Media.

　　The 176-page book, in part, compiles various transcripts from a decade of interviews in the "Iwata Asks" series, a project he worked on from 2006 until his death in 2015. Iwata Asks typically featured Iwata and Nintendo developers discussing popular first-party series releases, hardware, and more. The series went in-depth on the Wii, Nintendo DS, 3DS, and Wii U, from both a hardware philosophy as well as the platforms' software libraries. There are also contributions from Iwata's collaborators such as Shigeru Miyamoto.
