With Super Mario Odyssey taking the world by storm, now seems like a fantastic time to discuss the story of Yoshiaki Koizumi, Nintendo's secret weapon.

Yoshiaki's been around in the background for Nintendo for years - he even showed up in our Majora's Mask video - but it was interesting delving into his history with the company as he's risen to prominence with the release of the Switch.

We're in the process of moving house at the moment so we're really rushed, but we wanted to get this out to you just in time for the release of Odyssey. As we won't be able to do the whole social media thing (limited internet) we'd really appreciate any extra help you could give us, getting this out to places like Reddit and other online communities. Your help means the world to us!

Thanks, have a great day!
