@ PushDustIn PushDustIn and his translator buddies on Sourcegaming are already in the process of doing so IIRC.

Awesome! This looks super interesting! We need to know if these booklets will be made public in Japan, so maybe one of our buddies here will be able to get the full read. This should be useful to Nintendo history enthusiasts and Game Design newbies alike

This is actually the 7th and 8th book Sakurai released. It's a collection of his weekly Famitsu Columns with comments.
The translations we have been posting on Source Gaming have mostly come from these books. We have like 5 article translations in the works right now (of just older stuff).
They are available on Amazon.Co.jp right now.

So is there any new info in these books if they're just famitsu articles? Or are these just old things Sakurai has stated?
