Takashi Tezuka

"I have never consciously separated casual users and hardcore gamers when I design a game. For the past 20 years, I have always been trying to make games so that anyone -- as many people as possible -- can enjoy them... I cannot help but say that I love my job of making games from the bottom of my heart."

"It was really fun.I had just joined the company,so rather than just working along with the designs.I'd ask what the conditions were and have fun working within those constraints."

"I think it's good that we put in lots of new things back then."

"I think New Super Mario Bros. Wii firmly established the idea of everyone in the family playing together."

"Yeah.I want to keep heading in that direction so the games are a tool for family bonding.However,I want the games to be a tool for expanding upon previously existing good elements rather than for making something different."
