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.

Shigeru MiyamotoWe 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.
