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

Players are artists who create their own reality within the game.

Actually, 3D is really the most normal thing because it's how those of us with two eyes usually see the world. TVs are the unusual things in 2D!

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

I never really participated in specific sports or anything, but once I hit 40, I started to get a little bit more active and began swimming more.

Games are a trigger for adults to again become primitive, primal, as a way of thinking and remembering. An adult is a child who has more ethics and morals, that's all. I am not creating a game. I am in the game. The game is not for children, it is for me. It is for an adult who still has a character of a child.
