We sat down* with Giles Goddard, founder of Chuhai Labs and former Nintendo programmer, and talked to him about his time being one of the first foreign employees at NCL in Japan and working with Shigeru Miyamoto, developing classics such as Star Fox and 1080 Snowboarding, and even the Mario 64 title screen face. Always at the forefront of technology, we talk to him about his latest game Carve Snowboarding on Oculus Quest, and also a bit about what's next on Playdate!
