Snippet:
Mario Couldn't Jump At First
Iwata
In this interview, we're going to talk about New Super Mario Bros. Wii, but rather than diving straight into a discussion of the new title, I'd like to begin by talking about Mario's roots. There will of course be a lot of readers who know all about this, but I think there are also people who are completely in the dark about how Mario began.
Miyamoto
Yes, you're right.
Iwata
Shall we begin by talking about the period of Mario's initial conception, when he was known as "Jumpman"?
Miyamoto
Sure. Now, this is something I've been asked about in hundreds of interviews, so I'll make it quick! (laughs) In the Pac-Man1 era, there were a number of games that were really popular in the video game arcades. Nintendo had released titles such as Sheriff2 but none of them quite achieved the level of popularity where you could call them hits.
