As I am ageing, naturally, how I want my videogames to be played must be changing.

To create a new standard, you have to be up for that challenge and really enjoy it.

Of course, I would like to know what [Sony and Microsoft] do with their machines, but there is no game that I feel the need to go see. So far, from what I’ve seen on the show this year, there does not seem to be any games that I would like to have created myself.

I would prefer to grow with the team inside Nintendo rather than taking anyone from outside. It would be a joy for me if someone who was working with me became a big success.

I think what's really the most ideal thing is for the player themselves, within their own imagination, to carve out what they view as being the essence of the character.

I think everyone can enjoy games.

Programming is all about numbers.
