Revitalizing The Legacy: An Interview With Taito's Keiji Fujita Gamasutra - Revitalizing The Legacy: An Interview With Taito's Keiji Fujita
This article is interesting for a couple of reasons. Fujita works for Taito, but he talks a lot about the company's relationship with Square Enix, who took it over in 2005. I've been wondering about the details of that since then. Otherwise, he talks about stuff like his desire to make games for the iPhone and the success of Cooking Mama and stuff like that. I was surprised by how interesting this one was, to be honest.

Korea Rising: Five Crucial Interviews Gamasutra - Korea Rising: Five Crucial Interviews
If that wasn't enough interviews already, this article packs in five. It's heavy reading but they're really interesting, because I think they give you a better picture of the South Korean gaming market than we've had up till now usually. Included is an interview from Microsoft Korea about the Xbox 360 as well as four developer interviews. Full Story at Gamasutra | |  | |  | | |
