Providing new means of entertainment is the important thing.

Throughout the Zelda series I've always tried to make players feel like they are in a kind of miniature garden. So, this time also, my challenge was how to make people feel comfortable and sometimes very scared at the same time. That is the big challenge.

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

A late game is only late until it ships. A bad game is bad until the end of time
Shigeru Miyamoto
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.
Shigeru Miyamoto
Necessity is the mother of invention. I love solving things like that. Because there wasn't enough memory, thinking of an economical way to make the movements look right was like solving a puzzle, and I had a lot of fun.
Shigeru Miyamoto
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.
Shigeru Miyamoto
All the time, players are forced to do their utmost. If they are challenged to the limit, is it really fun for them?
Shigeru Miyamoto
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.
