Shigeru Miyamoto x Shigesato Itoi – 1989 Interview - shmuplations.com

This lengthy interview, originally published in Gamer Handbook, captures a high-level meeting of the minds between Shigesato Itoi, Shigeru Miyamoto, and author Seikou Itou. Conducted a few months after the release of the original MOTHER, the conversation quickly turns to philosophical (and comical) musings about realism, creative exhaustion, the moral panic over kids and gaming, and Miyamoto's visionary notions of how gameplay will evolve in the future.
