PEOPLE: - Yosuke Hayashi, age 31. Producer & Director for Metroid: Other M. Later: Producer of the Hyrule Warriors games. - Ryuzi Kitaura. Cinematic Director for Metroid: Other M. - Yoshio Sakamoto, age 51. Producer & Director for Metroid: Other M. QUOTE: Hayashi: Well, when [Sakamoto and Kitaura] were explaining the movements on the storyboards [for Metroid: Other M], for example, there'd sometimes be a reference to an obscure old monster film that only the two of them would get. Iwata: So these references meant nothing to you, coming from a different generation? Hayashi: That's right [laughs]. They'd say things such as 'This part is just like Gyaosu'—I was none the wiser what they meant. Iwata: Ah, Gyaosu, eh? [laughs] Kitaura: It was just the two of us who understood. Iwata: Actually, I'm a member of the generation that knows about Gyaosu as well... [laughs]
