A new Iwata Asks interview reveals some previously unknown facts about the Game and Watchs

The original development team (sans the late Mr Gunpei Yokoi) for the 80’s Game and Watch handhelds has sat down with current Nintendo president Mr Iwata for one of his most excellent Iwata Asks features.

During the interview a lot of previously unseen design documents were brought out and new information on how the clam shell designs of the systems came about. Did you know they based the idea on women makeup ‘compacts’?

This is certainly one of the more revealing Iwata Asks so check it out for the full lowdown.
