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.
Shigeru Miyamoto
Image
We don't pay a whole lot of attention to the Internet until people have played the game - then we pay a lot of attention to whether people liked it. We read through it and see it, but we don't take it into consideration. ... [The Internet] is not going to dictate the direction of where the game goes.

Providing new means of entertainment is the important thing.

I don't think as a creator that I could create an experience that truly feels interactive if you don't have something to hold in your hand, if you don't have something like force feedback that you can feel from the controller.

Their attitude is, 'okay, I am the customer. You are supposed to entertain me.' It's kind of a passive attitude they're taking, and to me it's kind of a pathetic thing. They do not know how interesting it is if you move one step further and try to challenge yourself with more advanced games.

All the time, players are forced to do their utmost. If they are challenged to the limit, is it really fun for them?

I'd like to be known as the person who saw things from a different point of view to others.

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.

My days all follow much the same pattern. They are structured and typical.

This is the entertainment industry, so game designers have to have a creative mind and also have to be able to stand up against the marketing people at their company - otherwise they cannot be creative. There are not that many people who fit that description.

Fortunately, because of the spread of smart devices, people take games for granted now. It's a good thing for us, because we do not have to worry about making games something that are relevant to general people's daily lives.

In other words, I'm not intending to start from things that require a five-year development time.

Nowadays I think it's really important that designers are really unique and individual.

I think I can make an entirely new game experience, and if I can't do it, some other game designer will.
