REALLY good read, highly recommend. Its crazy how prescient a lot of this feels for being 30 years old; Miyamoto talking about how games are just Sequels and Sequels, or about how putting a massive team to cg will just lead to a "blockbuster mentality." Also this quote from Eno is very good.
@shmuplations.bsky.socialToday we have something special: a newly translated interview from July 1996 between Shigeru Miyamoto and Kenji Eno! Conducted just weeks after the launch of Mario 64, Eno takes Miyamoto to task (in a friendly way) with several fascinating critiques of its design.
