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

When I'm working on games I don't think necessarily about what the end benefit of the game is going to be. Typically I'm trying to think of: "What can I do that is going to find new ways to entertain and surprise people."

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 don't really think of things in terms of legacy or where I stand in the history of Nintendo or anything like that.

Up until now, the biggest question in society about video games has been what to do about violent games. But it's almost like society in general considers video games to be something of a nuisance, that they want to toss into the garbage can.

As I am ageing, naturally, how I want my videogames to be played must be changing.
