"Miyamoto: The reason we didn’t include AV cables with the [The Super NES] was because we wanted to keep the price down and be able to include two controllers.
Q: But there aren’t any games out yet that use both controllers…!
Miyamoto: I still think including two controllers was the right choice. It’s really about the game developers: if only some people own two controllers, it would ultimately change the kind of games that developers would be inclined to make."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2e7f2uvcguv4d5qxqnyjmk32/bafkreifhquldjmisb4irckrathdeyjfj2nx35gpr22wjm6khn3kho2d2uu)

"Q: By the way, what happened to Luigi [in Super Mario 64]?
Miyamoto: Well… until February, he was in the game. [laughs] Ultimately, due to memory issues, we had to take him out. Then we were going to include him in a Mario Bros. style minigame, but because most users probably only have that one controller when they first buy their N64, for that reason (and others) we decided not to."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2e7f2uvcguv4d5qxqnyjmk32/bafkreifhafqafmaxu5ylpkz6bj4epkddgyzpbmrgtjwfnfskhjeqfqeqpu)

QUOTE:
"Q: Yeah, there’s a lot of buttons on the Super Famicom controller, and it’s easy to get confused. I had that happen to me in F-Zero a few times.
Miyamoto: Compared to the Famicom, it’s definitely a lot. [laughs] With the Famicom, we were very lucky in that developers ended up finding uses for the start and select buttons beyond what we had originally envisioned. The Legend of Zelda was like that, in particular. But this time, the four buttons of the SFC have a very different meaning from the Famicom.
Horii: When I play the Super Famicom, it feels to me like the B button on the SFC is like the A button on the Famicom (for affirming things), and the Y button is like the old B button (for cancelling)."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2e7f2uvcguv4d5qxqnyjmk32/bafkreidctjo4uz5pryjludtvyl7qst3tqgdudxmkuxfg4c5tjunzzn3u4m)
