children reading artist
I know as a child, I was really interested in becoming a manga artist, to create my own stories and illustrate them and present something that people would be interested in reading and looking at as well.

As I am ageing, naturally, how I want my videogames to be played must be changing.
play challenges gamer
What I'm really excited about is that continued challenge to create things that gamers of all experiences can play.
games people looks
When I look around and see how aged cartoonists continue to work on their manga and how movie directors create new movies all the time, I understand that they would never retire. And by the same token, I guess I will still be making games somehow. The only question is whether the younger people will be willing to work with me at that far point in the future.
games looks members
When I look back I can tell that after I started having a family, I certainly wanted to make games that could be played with all the family members.
games play long
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.

children character thinking
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.
children heart thinking
I think that inside every adult is the heart of a child. We just gradually convince ourselves that we have to act more like adults.
