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

For a long time at Nintendo we didn't focus as much on online play because for many years doing so would have limited the size of the audience that could enjoy those features. But certainly now we see that so many people are connected to the Internet. It opens up a tremendous amount of possibilities.

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

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.

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

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.

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

Nintendo's philosophy is never to go the easy path it's always to challenge ourselves and try to do something new.

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.

I don't like all the attention. I think it's better to let my work do the talking.

Programming is all about numbers.

Angry Birds is a very simple idea but its one of those games that I immediately appreciated when I first started playing, before wishing that I had been the one to come up with the idea first.
