A great idea solves multiple problems at the same time.

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.

I'm very impressed that there are so many fans - not just in Japan, but here in America - that are fond of the work that I've done. I'm actually kind of embarrassed by it all.

I believe that any sort of changes to interface that allows people to get into games and enjoy games is a great trend.

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

Who knows how Mario will look in the future. Maybe he'll wear metallic clothes!

If it turns out that Mario doesn't really fit into the type of game I want, I wouldn't mind using Zelda as the basis of the new game.
