Satoru Iwata: We'd love to have Kutaragi |

Now, who would have thought it?According to the German gaming site GameFront, the Nihon Keizai Shimbun has released a report about a press conference which has just been held by Nintendo. As most press conferences go, the Nintendo officials spoke about upcoming game titles, the financial gains of the company, movements and plans in general. However, one simple statement from Nintendo President Satoru Iwata made the event a whole lot more exciting.
According to the Japanese newspaper, Iwata stated that they "would love to see Kutaragi join up with Nintendo".
Now, this may generate a lot of reactions, but then again, how this will all develop would be nothing short of interesting. After all, Kutaragi's honorary position at Sony isn't exactly a very active office, and The Father of Playstation has also stated in recent interviews that his next ventures would mostly be independent from Sony, so there MAY be a good chance that he'll take Nintendo up on his offer. After all, it cannot be denied that Kutaragi has a long history with Nintendo, since he IS the guy who gave the SNES the gift of sound, via the SPC700 chip which he designed.
However, considering the fact that Kutaragi was also once badly slighted by Iwata's predecessors (think: Hiroshi Yamauchi, CES 1989, and a botched Play Station announcement... note the space in between "Play Station"), one can't really tell what Crazy Ken will do next.

Anyway Nintendo and the entire industry do owe him a huge debt of gratitude for his work on the SNES and for risking his career to pioneer the groundbreaking PSOne, the insanely popular PS2 and with the PSP living up to expectations with amazing games and multimedia capabilities and the cutting edge PS3 that's still in its infancy and whose success is yet to be seen...

Moreover Kutaragi's Cellius CEO (Cellius is Sony+Namco)...
So I don't think the day one will see Kutaragi's name in Nintendo credits is near...

Are you joking when you include Iwata on that list?
You only have to look at the man's record - he's an incredible businessman and a highly creative individual. Don't forget that DS and Wii were largely developed under his watch.
I think ultimately he may be credited with returning Nintendo to industry leadership. That is certainly no small feat.

It's not just some exclusive thing for kutaragi, all of the big three would do whatever they could to get the big names in the industry working for them.
