I Think Everyone Can Enjoy Games.

Our Job As The Game Creators Or Developers - The Programmers, Artists, And Whatnot - Is That We Have To Kind Of Put Ourselves In The User's Shoes. We Try To See What They're Seeing, And Then Make It, And Support What We Think They Might Think.

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.

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'm Very Impressed That There Are So Many Fans - Not Just In Japan, But Here In America - That Are Fond Of The Work That I've Done. I'm Actually Kind Of Embarrassed By It All.
