Random Time! - Itoi and Miyamoto explain how to make dramatic TV shows better

And here’s just one reason why the most recent Itoi/Miyamoto interview is the weirdest one yet…

Miyamoto: The reality that is created in a drama changes drastically depending on whether or not there is a director who understands the point of the drama. It isn’t so much the structure of the scenario that’s important. It falls flat if it isn’t directed right during filming. Eliminating those places where something just doesn’t feel right is our job, and I think about that when I watch TV.

Itoi: Yeah, me too. All the time. Like what I would do if I were in charge. Even though I’m not. That’s exactly what Iwata-san calls a “sense of ownership.”

Miyamoto: Right. We watch TV with a sense of ownership. It’s the same when we watch a play or an event.

Maybe it’s time for Itoi and Miyamoto to team up for a TV drama! Surely we’d all love to see Mario and Ness get together for some must-see TV! Thanks to Johnny4 for the heads up.
