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

When I'm making video games today, I want people to be entertained. I am always thinking, How are people going to enjoy playing the games we are making today? And as long as I can enjoy something other people can enjoy it, too.

Japanese people have a funny habit of abbreviating names.

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

Players are artists who create their own reality within the game.

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