GN Version 3.1

This is a transcript from Miyamoto’s appearance on a French TV program…

Mouloud : How do you explain Mario never succeeds getting a girlfrield ? It looks like premonitory, I feel like I’m Mario sometimes, it never works, he is always so much close to get it but…

Shigeru : (laughs) About this, I think this is common to Mario, you and me (laughs again)

Mouloud : we don’t get girls ! (laughs too)

Shigeru : If Mario married with the princess, this would be the end of his adventures.

Mouloud : You created characters that greatly influenced the Video Game history : Mario, Zelda, the Pikmins… at what moment (of producing a game) do you think “that VG is perfect, I can release it” ?

Shigeru : In fact, I consider a game is successful when I can play a game without thinking I developed it.

Mouloud : Many people think that VG are violent, while your games are the most appreciated in the world, also the less violent and which unify people the most ?

Shigeru : They say that Mario is non violent. Let me remind you that Mario kills turtles by jumping on them. It’s true that he also uses his brains.

Mouloud : you started as an illustrator (or cartoonist ?), could you draw me as a Nintendo character?

(Shigeru then draws something.)

Thanks to Immewnity for the heads up!
