Mario's Creators Reflect On Making The Original For The 30th Anniversary
Part Mario Maker commercial, part interesting look back on the creation of Mario's design, Nintendo has released an extended version of its interview with creators Shigeru Miyamoto and Takashi Tezuka.
We saw snippets of this interview at E3 and in assorted other Mario videos, but this adds more conversation, as well as footage of young Miyamoto and Tezuka working on the original game.
