- I managed to find the source of this of this interview mentioned in a smallmariofindings post: issue 13 of Arcade. archive.org/details/Arca... I'll be adding this to the Shigeru Miyamoto Archive today.
- Does IC mean "integrated circuit" here? What is he talking about?May 10, 2025 17:23
- The Game Boy Color was a year old at this point so he may be referring to its IR sensor, which was seemingly sometimes called "Infrared Communication". He's credited as a producer for Hamtaro: Ham-Hams Unite! which used it and hadn't come out yet. I don't think Pokemon Crystal added new IR features.
- Huh, yeah I'm not sure what he might mean here. It looks like this was Dec 19999, the same month the N64DD came out. His attention was probably shifting more and more towards GameCube at this point, and I know "Communication" games were a big theme of his at that time. Hmmm
- GameCube & GBA*
