Programming is all about numbers.
I think what a lot of people see as unique is using different technology or different techniques [to make games], but I feel like, as long as you have a core that's unlike others, that's what 'unique' is.
We can be using the same kind of technology, the same kind of techniques, but when we use it, we get something different.
When I look back I can tell that after I started having a family, I certainly wanted to make games that could be played with all the family members.
As I am ageing, naturally, how I want my videogames to be played must be changing.
What I'm really excited about is that continued challenge to create things that gamers of all experiences can play.
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.
I believe that any sort of changes to interface that allows people to get into games and enjoy games is a great trend.
I feel more reassured with physical media. Entertainment is something that will not just become digital.
When I'm working on games I don't think necessarily about what the end benefit of the game is going to be. Typically I'm trying to think of: "What can I do that is going to find new ways to entertain and surprise people."
Entertainment companies always have to stay on the edge of trying to catch that certain thing that will grab people's attention. And that thing is always changing. Nintendo has been doing this for a long, long time. Originally, we weren't even a video game company, but we were still an entertainment company. So I can't say what that next thing is, but I can say, at Nintendo we're trying to create new ways to play.
