Miyamoto on Zelda was an interview published on the Nsider subdomain of the official Nintendo website on November 11, 1998.[1] It featured Jason Leung of Nintendo Power interviewing Shigeru Miyamoto about the recently released The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. The discussion also covered other topics, including the Super Mario franchise.

Super Mario–related questions[edit]

NP: How about Super Mario 64 2?

Miyamoto: Well, for over a year now at my desk, a prototype program of Luigi and Mario has been running on my monitor. We've been thinking about the game, and it may be something that could work on a completely new game system.

NP: What can you tell us about the upcoming all-star fighting game featuring Nintendo characters?

Miyamoto: It may sound like a bloody game if you label it as a fighting game. It's not bloody at all. Instead, it's an enjoyable "hitting" game like sumo in Japan, in which you have to force your opponent out of a ring, or cage in this case. There will probably be more than ten characters including some secret characters who've appeared in older Nintendo games. I think we'll be calling the game "Nintendo All-Star Battle Royal Smash Bros." or something like that. I think we are going to launch it early next year.

NP: Who are some of the characters?

Miyamoto: Of course, Mario, Luigi, Bowser and Donkey Kong will be in it. Samus from Metroid and some of Nintendo's secondary characters like Pikachu from Pokémon appear.

NP: Rumors have been circulating on the Internet about a Ninja Mario or Naked Mario being in Super Mario 64. Do they exist?

Miyamoto: (laughing) No.

NP: What's your favorite video game?

Miyamoto: Donkey Kong. Pac-Man.
