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

All the time, players are forced to do their utmost. If they are challenged to the limit, is it really fun for them?

Originally, I wanted a machine that would cost $100. My idea was to spend nothing on the console technology so all the money could be spent on improving the interface and software. If we hadn't used NAND flash memory and other pricey parts, we might have succeeded.

I think that inside every adult is the heart of a child. We just gradually convince ourselves that we have to act more like adults.

A good idea is something that does not solve just one single problem, but rather can solve multiple problems at once.

When we're doing an action game, we make the second level first. We begin making level 1 once everything else is completed.

This is the entertainment industry, so game designers have to have a creative mind and also have to be able to stand up against the marketing people at their company - otherwise they cannot be creative. There are not that many people who fit that description.
