This year's show was the second time I've had a chance to have a one-on-one interview with Shigeru Miyamoto and, as always, it was a pleasure. Instead of talking to Miyamoto about the things he often is seen talking about (games), we decided to talk more about Nintendo philosophy, supply issues and the future of the company's hardware platforms.

On a side note, I've been trying to get Nintendo to talk to me, up front, about the future or death of the Game Boy Advance almost since the DS came out. I'm not exaggerating. I've even interviewed some Nintendo of America execs about it, but I could never really get them to be frank. Miyamoto finally was, but it took a bit of tag-team cajoling with the help of Ash and lead to him saying, in the middle of the exchange, "You ask hard questions." Excellent.

Hit the jump for the full list of topics. We broke down the 30 minute or so interview into shorter videos so you can jump to the ones that interest you most, though I think all of them are worth viewing if you haven't yet.
