It isn't about games, for me, personally, and it never really was. It was about creating something - anything - far bigger than yourself.

I think everyone can enjoy games.

The obvious objective of video games is to entertain people by surprising them with new experiences.

Entertainment companies always have to stay on the edge of trying to catch that certain thing that will grab people's attention. And that thing is always changing. Nintendo has been doing this for a long, long time. Originally, we weren't even a video game company, but we were still an entertainment company. So I can't say what that next thing is, but I can say, at Nintendo we're trying to create new ways to play.

Providing new means of entertainment is the important thing.

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.

Game music has a purpose and it does incorporate sound effects.
