I know as a child, I was really interested in becoming a manga artist, to create my own stories and illustrate them and present something that people would be interested in reading and looking at as well.

Nintendo's philosophy is never to go the easy path; it's always to challenge ourselves and try to do something new.

There are some ghost stories in Japan where - when you are sitting in the bathroom in the traditional style of the Japanese toilet - a hand is actually starting to grab you from beneath. It's a very scary story.

Our job as the game creators or developers - the programmers, artists, and whatnot - is that we have to kind of put ourselves in the user's shoes. We try to see what they're seeing, and then make it, and support what we think they might think.

What I'm really excited about is that continued challenge to create things that gamers of all experiences can play.

A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad.

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