Fortunately, because of the spread of smart devices, people take games for granted now. It's a good thing for us, because we do not have to worry about making games something that are relevant to general people's daily lives.

I think I can make an entirely new game experience, and if I can't do it, some other game designer will.

Anything that is impractical can be play. It's doing something other than what is necessary to continue living as an animal.

Nintendo's philosophy is never to go the easy path; it's always to challenge ourselves and try to do something new.

There are big lines between those who play video games and those who do not. For those who don't, video games are irrelevant. They think all video games must be too difficult.

When I'm working on games I don't think necessarily about what the end benefit of the game is going to be. Typically I'm trying to think of: "What can I do that is going to find new ways to entertain and surprise people."

What comes next? Super Mario 128? Actually, that's what I want to do.
