Of course, I would like to know what [Sony and Microsoft] do with their machines, but there is no game that I feel the need to go see. So far, from what I’ve seen on the show this year, there does not seem to be any games that I would like to have created myself.

When I create a game, I try to focus more on the emotions that the player experiences during the game play.

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.

You can use a lot of different technologies to create something that doesn't really have a lot of value.

I made some games, but I'm pretending like I didn't because they all turned out weird.

Angry Birds is a very simple idea but its one of those games that I immediately appreciated when I first started playing, before wishing that I had been the one to come up with the idea first.

What comes next? Super Mario 128? Actually, that's what I want to do.
