Shinesparkers is proud to share an exclusive translation of Nintendo-sponsored content shared on the website for the Japanese lifestyle brand Hobonichi, or Hobo Nikkan Itoi Shinbun (ほぼ日刊イトイ新聞; lit. Almost Daily Itoi Newspaper) in April 2003. The original feature is still available at this link.
Hobonichi shared a review of Metroid Fusion, Metroid Prime and the original Metroid on GameCube, and a four part interview-style conversation between Yoshio Sakamoto and Japanese author Miyuki Miyabe. You may recall that Miyabe-san was separately interviewed about playing the Metroid games on Metroid.jp, which we have translated previously.
None of these have ever been translated into English, until now. We at Shinesparkers want to thank both Carwyn Sugar and Darts for the translation!
We hope you enjoy this blast from the past!
