Metroid creator Yoshio Sakamoto is going to do a presentation on his 28-year run at Nintendo, and how he has developed games for a variety of tastes (apparently he was a key figure in making Tomodachi Collection, even as he develops Other M)
Signs of a more significant Other M presence at GDC? We can only hope so.
Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.
I hope~
myiamoto and iwata are great, but i guess it'll be nice to have someone else present for a change. a little change of pace.

"Pier was a chef, a gifted and respected chef who made millions selling his dishes to the residents of New York City and Boston, he even had a famous jingle playing in those cities that everyone knew by heart. He also had a restaurant in Los Angeles, but not expecting LA to have such a massive population he only used his name on that restaurant and left it to his least capable and cheapest chefs. While his New York restaurant sold kobe beef for $100 and his Boston restaurant sold lobster for $50, his LA restaurant sold cheap hotdogs for $30. Initially these hot dogs sold fairly well because residents of los angeles were starving for good food and hoped that the famous name would denote a high quality, but most were disappointed with what they ate. Seeing the success of his cheap hot dogs in LA, Pier thought "why bother giving Los Angeles quality meats when I can oversell them on cheap hotdogs forever, and since I don't care about the product anyways, why bother advertising them? So Pier continued to only sell cheap hotdogs in LA and was surprised to see that they no longer sold. Pier's conclusion? Residents of Los Angeles don't like food."
"The so-called "hardcore" gamer is a marketing brainwashed, innovation shunting, self-righteous idiot who pays videogame makers far too much money than what is delivered."
Sakamoto didn't create Metroid Gunpei Yoko did, Sakmoto has mainly been the series director in the same way Aonuma is for Zelda.

Uh... except Sakamoto has been there since day one and even directed the original. Metroid's pretty much his more than anyone else's, like Miyamoto and Donkey Kong or Mario.
Sakamoto was also the driving force behind Kid Icarus, Balloon Fight, Wario Ware and Rhythm Heaven.
he is going to give some new other m info i just know it

Anyone can be there from day one but the fact is Gunpei Yokoi created Metroid the ain't no two ways about it no matter what spin you use, no Yokoi no Metroid, Sakamoto has been in the loop for long because he was one of Yokoi's top men. Yokoi had Makoto Kano design the Metroid series concept while someone else did the art design under his direction, using the combined concept Yokoi then task R&D1 now intelligent systems to created the first game and had Sakamoto one of the more senior designers direct the game to the concieved concept, Metroid is as much his as Zelda is Aonuma's, they worked on the series they direct work on for ages but it doesn't mean they created them.

That's like saying Yokoi "created" Donkey Kong and Mario Bros. He was the producer on all these games.
Miyamoto was the designer/director for Donkey Kong and Mario Bros, Sakamoto was the designer/director for Metroid (with Kiyotake). Kanoh only did the script/scenario for Metroid, none of the actual game design.
