The website relies on JavaScript for showing the interviews, but after some trial and error (mainly with the Firefox network inspector) [[User:TheTechRobo]] found how to get at the raw XML data. You take an interview URL, such as <code>https://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/#/ds/dsi/0/0</code>. Then, remove the volume and chapter markers (in this case, they are both 0). That leaves you with <code>https://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/#/ds/dsi</code>. Replace everything before the category and name (in this case "ds" and "dsi", respectively) with <code>https://iwataasks.nintendo.com/_ui/xml/</code>. That would leave you with <code>https://iwataasks.nintendo.com/_ui/xml/ds/dsi.xml</code>. You can get other languages with <code>https://iwataasks.nintendo.com/_ui/xml/ds/xx/dsi.xml</code>. AFAIK, the only two available ones are <code>es</code> and <code>fr</code>.
Previously, an XML-based scheme was used by the JavaScript-based client; as of late 2022, it appears to be JSON-based. The XML-based schema is documented [https://wiki.archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Iwata_Asks&oldid=47253 here], but I don't currently feel like working out the new stuff.
