Of course, I have my own limits as to how much game software I can take care of at any one time.

It isn't about games, for me, personally, and it never really was. It was about creating something - anything - far bigger than yourself.

If it turns out that Mario doesn't really fit into the type of game I want, I wouldn't mind using Zelda as the basis of the new game.

I made some games, but I'm pretending like I didn't because they all turned out weird.

What I really want to do is be in the forefront of game development once again myself.

What if everything you see is more than what you see--the person next to you is a warrior and the space that appears empty is a secret door to another world? What if something appears that shouldn't? You either dismiss it, or you accept that there is much more to the world than you think. Perhaps it is really a doorway, and if you choose to go inside, you'll find many unexpected things.

Donkey Kong Country proves that players will put up with mediocre gameplay as long as the art is good.
