Miyamoto names his favorite game, says another Super Mario Bros. 2-style game is unlikely
"I guess as a developer that might have to be the very first Super Mario game, for me, because I have so many memories tied up in it. Perhaps as a player, I might go for what was, at least in Japan, we referred to it as Super Mario USA, which was a game that just had a very different sort of feel. I think we had such a loose approach to it, we really came up with something interesting." - Shigeru Miyamoto
During the interview, the Super Mario Bros. 2 that North America received was brought up. What are the chances of another Mario game in that style coming around?
"I think the Mario games of that type are really in the hands of Mr. Tezuka at this point. Because he didn't work on that one in particular, that was one I worked on, he doesn't have memories of developing it that he would draw on to re-create concepts in the New Super Mario Bros. series now, from that game in particular."
