Lots of great info from Miyamoto.  Like how Popeye was originally supposed to be the hero in Donkey Kong, and how Miyamoto wanted to name Mario "Mr Video".   Why pipes are green and the thought process behind many aspects of Mario Bros game design.

I found it interesting that, from the very beginning, Miyamoto wanted a single character to appear in all his games.

He also said multiplayer Mario Bros wasn't possible until they had the powerful capabilities of the Wii... LOL

These are always a laugh.
But it's probably just me.
