TIME has an interview with up Shigeru Miyamoto and Takashi Tezuka. Some of the comments are actually from June, but there’s a sprinkling of fresh remarks as well.
One interesting excerpt concerns Miyamoto talking about how Super Mario Maker is like a transition point for the franchise, as Nintendo feels it’s time “to move in a new direction”. Miyamoto said:
“Doing this now at the 30th anniversary [of Super Mario Bros.] is really putting some more of that creativity into the players. But at the same time, we as the developers feel that it’s time for us to move in a new direction, and we’re preparing to work on the future of Super Mario from here on.”
