I try not so much to create new characters and worlds but to create new game-play experiences.

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

We can be using the same kind of technology, the same kind of techniques, but when we use it, we get something different.

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.

Japan actually is an aging population, and so as the population has aged, they have had a lot more problems with health.

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