Nowadays I think it's really important that designers are really unique and individual.

Well, for over a year now at my desk, a prototype program of Luigi and Mario has been running on my monitor. We've been thinking about the game, and it may be something that could work on a completely new game system.

I think when you talk about competing against others, the problem is that you refer to something that's been done already and try to beat it.

A great idea solves multiple problems at the same time.

If we end up creating a gameplay structure where it makes sense for, whether it's a female to go rescue a male or a gay man to rescue a lesbian woman or a lesbian woman to rescue a gay man, we might take that approach.

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

A late game is only late until it ships. A bad game is bad until the end of time
