What I really want to do is be in the forefront of game development once again myself.

For a long time at Nintendo we didn't focus as much on online play because for many years doing so would have limited the size of the audience that could enjoy those features. But certainly now we see that so many people are connected to the Internet. It opens up a tremendous amount of possibilities.

You can use a lot of different technologies to create something that doesn't really have a lot of value.

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

I'd like to be known as the person who saw things from a different point of view to others.

We don't pay a whole lot of attention to the Internet until people have played the game - then we pay a lot of attention to whether people liked it. We read through it and see it, but we don't take it into consideration. ... [The Internet] is not going to dictate the direction of where the game goes.

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.
