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

When I look back I can tell that after I started having a family, I certainly wanted to make games that could be played with all the family members.

Their attitude is, 'okay, I am the customer. You are supposed to entertain me.' It's kind of a passive attitude they're taking, and to me it's kind of a pathetic thing. They do not know how interesting it is if you move one step further and try to challenge yourself with more advanced games.

I don't let Mario appear in just any kind of game. Mario could not appear in Zelda games. They are two distinct game worlds.

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.

Programming is all about numbers.

As long as I can enjoy something, other people can enjoy it, too.
