Shigeru Miyamoto discussed how involved he is with game development, the creation process for Super Mario 3D Land, and more in an interview with Weekly Play News.

Miyamoto said that he is “Continually playing the games and checking their content, and sharing my opinion with the development staff.” Though he places his main focus on three games, he is generally involved with about seven games at once.

Miyamoto told the site that the development staff are all seated on just one floor. He jots down his feelings on a checklist and presents them to a project’s director. He looks to explicitly state his directions/the reasoning behind his points.

Miyamoto also took a moment to comment on the development cycle of Super Mario 3D Land. In the end, the staff consisted of thirty people, though the team was made up of just two people at the start. It took roughly two years to complete development, according to Miyamoto. He believes that development progressed well.

Even though Miyamoto is a busy man, he still finds time to play games – perhaps moreso than you would have thought! He typically plays for ten hours a day. As Skyward Sword was wrapping up, Miyamoto was going through the title whenever he wasn’t attending a meeting.

Very rarely do Wii Virtual Console games contain online play. SEGA included the Wi-Fi feature with Puyo Puyo… and that’s it, for the most part.

Another VC release, Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers, allows players to battle online. The game was placed on the Wii Shop Channel earlier this week in Japan under the Mega Drive section. It likely won’t leave Japan, but it is nevertheless interesting to see that online play has been added to the experience.
