I interviewed a former Nintendo Treehouse writer (Kid Icarus, Mario Party 9) about jokes, Reggie, and localization

I just had Mike Drucker on my podcast. He worked in Nintendo’s localization team on games like Kid Icarus: Uprising and Mario Party 9, then went on to write for The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, MST3K, and more.

We talked about working at Nintendo, localizing humor, playing basketball with Reggie Fils-Aimé, and how Nintendo helped shape his writing career.
