The unlikely origin of StreetPass and a Mario DS game you never knew about
Yutaka "Yoot" Saito had a special relationship with Nintendo. He, the creator of SimTower, Seaman and Odama, considered Satoru Iwata and Shigeru Miyamoto friends, and he would regularly meet them for tea around the turn of the Millennium.
It was during one of these rendezvous Saito told Miyamoto and Iwata a story.
"Once, when we were discussing some of the things we'd like to be able to do with a new piece of hardware, which will be coming for next generation of Game Boy, I told them a story from when I was a middle school student," Saito shared with a Reboot Develop 2018 audience I was in.
