He came up with things I had talked about in previous conversations to say that our ways of thinking and doing things are the same.
Famitsu: He was very determined.Flames: I didn't know what kind of angle it was, but I'll never forget when he talked to me about why he had failed in the past. That's when I thought, "I think I can trust this brother." It was always right when I was thinking of movies, so we decided to ask him for an animation when he said, “what do you mean? Let's do something together. It took us a long time to put things together, but we finally found a way.
Famitsu: What did Chris's "failures" say?
Miyamoto: You can't say. (Laughter)
