Controller is so intuitive, even your mum can play.

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.

I don't think as a creator that I could create an experience that truly feels interactive if you don't have something to hold in your hand, if you don't have something like force feedback that you can feel from the controller.
