The Guardian has published a mammoth, two-part interview with Shigeru Miyamoto. In the discussion Miyamoto touches on a few personal things, such as his daily routine, why he plays games, hiring new employees at Nintendo, and more. Interestingly, an the end of the interview, Miyamoto more or less said that he wouldn’t be playing games if he didn’t make them due to a lack of time and the difficulty in finding the right title to experience.

Miyamoto also commented on new Nintendo characters. He told the publication, “there’s a strong possibility we will introduce some new characters to the scene soon.”

Read on below for the full Q&A.

Fire Emblem: Awakening is the first Nintendo-made title to incorporate downloadable content. The second game could be Animal Crossing 3DS.

Speaking at Nintendo’s latest financial results briefing, president Satoru Iwata said that “the next Animal Crossing might be a game which relies upon add-on content sales.”

You can find even more quotes from Iwata here. Between our summary post from the event and indivual quotes scattered on the front page, I believe we’ve covered all significant information. I’d prefer not to overload you guys with superfluous quotes and posts that we’ve covered in summary format, so visit that link for some extra words from Nintendo’s president.

Nintendo is preparing a triple threat of downloadable content for Fire Emblem: Awakening next week. “The Magic of Remembrance #3”, “Gold and Silver”, and “King Vs. King: The Holy War Chapter” will all be available on Wednesday.

Players will be able to add Micaiah from Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn to their party in “The Magic of Remembrance #3”. Ike will appear in this chapter as well. “King Vs. King: The Holy War Chapter” provides access to Alm from Fire Emblem Gaiden.

“Gold and Silver” is a bit different. It features a new map and a boss that will reward you with 7,000G after its defeat.

“The Magic of Remembrance #3” and “King Vs. King: The Holy War Chapter” will cost 300 yen. “Gold and Silver” is priced at 400 yen.
