this is fantastic. this guy seems like he really doesn’t give a fuck, he just wants to make games and chill on his island. i love that. i love this dude. i love his insight on Miyamoto where someone else might’ve balked at it. lovelovelove

This video is a classic example of how impressive Ben is with interviews. They always feel like great conversations and he somehow keeps all of Gile's history and the history of Gile's games/studios in his head to ask very intriguing deep cutting questions. Had a lot of fun listening to this.

[@protocetid]

Very intriguing video, IIRC it was he who had already said plenty on the creation of SM64 on another site. You should have asked him to say everything he knew about OoT. Or, if you had to do SM64, gotten him to comment on individual things from the gigaleak. Would’ve also liked to hear his opinion on the PC port and how fans implemented ray tracing.

[@sarconrimors6716]

Great interview! A damn shame that Switch port of Tank Troopers never came to fruition. Would’ve picked up in a heartbeat. Fantastic 3DS game that got overlooked for being late to the party

[@alexmiyamoto4832]

We were really keen to make it, especially to have people to experience multiplayer which was always the core of the title. We'd upped the visuals, added tank treads with suspension and had it running at 1080p 60fps. Really wish that had panned out.

[@excyruss]

Excellent interview. I put this on at first in the background but ended up paying full attention for it all. If I could I would thank Giles for this and shake his hand as it's obvious he does not enjoy being interviewed. I'm sure a lot of us can relate to this, I know I can.

[@wesbanderson664]

this was such an interesting interview. loads of great little tidbits about life at nintendo in the 90’s. i could have easily listened to giles for another couple hours.. if he had the will. well done ben 👍👍👍

[@minnmax]

Thanks so much for watching, Wes!

[@NitrosS]

30:41 Yasunari Nishida he was the main programmer of mario 64, he programed every mario/luigi movement along with Koisumi...

[@DeesBees85]

I absolutely adore 1080 Snowboarding, and this guy is a special person having been such a key part of that project.

[@OniLink99999]

Absolutely incredible interview - this is a gem! Without you asking these kinds of questions Ben, we'd miss out on learning so much about video game history. And I'm very grateful to Giles for being so gracious and open about answering this stuff! Obviously it's just his work history to him, but these kinds of details are Holy Grails to the rest of us haha.

[@minnmax]

Thanks so much, OniLink! I'm glad you found and enjoyed the interview!

[@OniLink99999]

@@minnmax Always do Ben =D Just shared it on Twitter too - I wish this stuff would get more attention!

[@mikemaciaszek3508]

Wow, I really loved this interview. Maybe it was because the interviewee didn't seem to used to being in this situation, but it really felt like something new

[@hri7566]

we require more giles interviews, if ANYONE can do one, i'm literally obsessed with these projects and i don't know why

[@NitrosS]

same here, this guy have a lot of knowledge about N64 days

[@MrBigmac996]

Loved this! Amazing interview, Giles is a legend, and thanks as always Ben for content like this! Crazy how he lives half his time on Ishigaki, it's so far from the mainland. Gorgeous remote place though, would be a dream to work at a studio on an island like that!

[@wii58739]

I must say this has to be one if not the coolest interview ive ever listened to! I grew up playing Nintendo games, always dreaming of working at the big N or Capcom and this dude worked since he was 18 at the biggest most influental place at a super interesting technical time. Such a likable dude humble and full of interesting stories 10/10

[@minnmax]

Thanks so much, TB! Any help sharing the interview is appreciated!

The portal tech was used by the Goldeneye team to reduce the polygon counts drawn at one time and improve performance

[@gooseberry7222]

Love these interview!!!

[@PhoenixWrightfan101]

Excellent work, Hanson. I hope you write a book one day too!

[@derekhart410]

I love this channel. Such interesting interviews. Seriously great job Ben

[@minnmax]

Thanks, Derek! Tell a friend!

[@JakeDownsWuzHere]

i was looking at the sourcecode and saw a folder called goddard, then i searched and found this video. cool stuff!

[@markwebster4996]

Terrific interview! Amazing to hear his take on many era’s

[@goriya]

Excellent interview. Love the Zelda bit of course. Giles and Chuhai are doing great things. Wishing them so much success.

[@goriya]

This is the Shoshinkai 1995 Zelda demo Giles mentions which did make it into the public viewership. The other stuff he's describing with Link running around a castle with portals has never been seen or ever mentioned before this interview. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jaCXfHRmr5h4rZY

[@posterpackrat]

Great interview Ben! It's always fun to learn something new and there was a lot on offer here. I wonder what one of those emulated N64 dev stations would cost now a days!? Crazy to think about it.

[@NitrosS]

Thanks man

[@PizzaFriend]

I will absolutely buy Carve because of this

[@gridvid]

Awesome 👍 thanks for sharing

[@ARIXANDRE]

I played Steep a couple weeks ago and all I could think of is how much I missed 1080 on N64.

[@johnathaned]

Another interesting interview from minnmax, I'm starting to think you might be good at this Ben.

[@somebonehead]

5:10 Lol, I thought he was about to talk about Garry Newman the creator of Gmod.

[@rickywinterborn]

"how often do you go back and play old games?" heh well....

[@Nigel222]

he's an interesting chap

[@james441]

I wish there could be new n64 games with everyone who contributed to sm64. Sadly a time past that’s never coming back

[@NishantSharma-rt8dr]

I don't know how but I am so fast at non giveaway videos.
