Zoom.in has published a new video interview with Shigeru Miyamoto, and it contains some juicy tidbits. He discusses the retirement situation (yet again), how he’s jealous about video game characters being able to outlive us, his lack of interest in making photo-realistic games, and the pressure he faces due to expectations.

Ikari no Yousai 2 will be released in Japan on January 11 for 400 yen.
