I never really participated in specific sports or anything, but once I hit 40, I started to get a little bit more active and began swimming more.

I think that the entertainment industry itself has a history of chasing success. Any time a hit product comes out, all the other companies start chasing after that success and trying to recreate it by putting out similar products.

As a kid, I was a big comic fan and I liked foreign comics as well.

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.

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.

Most people think video games are all about a child staring at a TV with a joystick in his hands. I don't. They should belong to the entire family. I want families to play video games together.

Controller is so intuitive, even your mum can play.

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

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.

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

Who knows how Mario will look in the future. Maybe he'll wear metallic clothes!

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

I don't let Mario appear in just any kind of game. Mario could not appear in Zelda games. They are two distinct game worlds.

What I found is that just in the lifestyle today, people have fewer and fewer opportunities to get exercise.

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

Video games are bad for you? That's what they said about rock 'n' roll.

Originally, I wanted a machine that would cost $100. My idea was to spend nothing on the console technology so all the money could be spent on improving the interface and software. If we hadn't used NAND flash memory and other pricey parts, we might have succeeded.

As I am ageing, naturally, how I want my videogames to be played must be changing.
