In other words, I'm not intending to start from things that require a five-year development time.

Angry Birds is a very simple idea but its one of those games that I immediately appreciated when I first started playing, before wishing that I had been the one to come up with the idea first.

When I create a game, I try to focus more on the emotions that the player experiences during the game play.

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

I am not Link, but I do know him! Even after 18 years, the Legend of Zelda never stops changing and this game is no different. We are now taking you to a world where Link has grown up--a world where he will act different and look different. In order to grow, Link must not stand still and neither will I.

Who knows how Mario will look in the future. Maybe he'll wear metallic clothes!

I don't really think of things in terms of legacy or where I stand in the history of Nintendo or anything like that.
