Welcome back to another episode of Interview Reenactment. This is the show where we recreate some of the most iconic interviews and you politely listen. In the past, we've focused on contentious conversations conducted by Next Generation. We've heard Tom Kalinske proclaim that the Sega 32X would outsell the PlayStation, Tom Zito told us that full-motion video was the future, and Sam Tramiel outlined a winning strategy for the Atari Jaguar.

We're mixing things up with today's episode. Instead of going back to Next Generation, we're going to recreate an interview with Mario mastermind Shigeru Miyamoto that was featured in a 1998 issue of Entertainment Weekly. Yes, I know Entertainment Weekly still exists, but good luck finding a 17 year old sidebar interview on their website.

We've brought in actor, filmmaker, wrestler Joe Driller to play the part of Shigeru Miyamoto. This is Shiggy at the peak of his success, not long after the release of Mario 64 and just before everybody fell in love with The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. EW columnist Mark G. Brooks asks the famed developer five questions, and they aren't what you think.
