Great find, akumie! I will try to contact the uploader and ask for permission to mirror the video to do a translation of it.

The footage spanning from 1:08 to 1:40 seems to be a very long version of the Japanese system commercials. I especially love the interview with Yokoi-san at 1:40 and the very short sequence showing a programmer working on a VB game, supposedly composing music, at 3:44.

Cool. Thanks, akumie.

BTW, is that a… Lamp-O-Tron development VB? 😀

I’m amazed by the footage of Yokoi-san! there is only two other videos I know of that have this: the “Invasion of Nintendo” Nintendo Power promo video and Grooveraider’s video where he encountered Yokoi at E3 1995

The best part is its an interview! the other two videos only were small sightings of Yokoi!

I can’t wait for the translation, if it happens…

I got a kind permission from the original uploader and created english subtitles:
