Game Music Has A Purpose

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.

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.

What Comes Next? Super Mario 128? Actually, That's What I Want To Do.

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 Would Prefer To Grow With The Team Inside Nintendo Rather Than Taking Anyone From Outside. It Would Be A Joy For Me If Someone Who Was Working With Me Became A Big Success.
