Shigeru Miyamoto has opened up about his most/least favorite Mario Kart characters, what it and means to him to be working on Mario/Zelda for so long in a new PopWatch interview. Spoiler alert: he hates Toad.
Miyamoto also commented on a Skyward Sword prototype that was more challenging that the final product, how he feels about the story element in Zelda games, his enjoyment on making Pikmin 3, and more.
All of Miyamoto’s responses can be found after the break.
Update: Curiously, the listing has been removed. See this story.

Not much is known about the next Mario Tennis project. It was announced during the Nintendo 3DS Conference 2011 late last year. At the time of its reveal, President Satoru Iwata was only willing to confirm gyroscope support and a vague 2012 time frame for launch.
The NES version of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was pulled from the Wii Shop Channel last week without any sort of notice.
Konami today revealed the decision behind the game’s removal. You won’t find Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in any region due to an expired license. A separate company most likely has rights to the TMNT brand, meaning Konami can no longer collect profits on the Virtual Console title.
