Q. It's 20 years since you first began making games with Nintendo. Will you still be making games in another 20 years? If so, what do you expect them to look like?

SM.You know it is often said that a movie director can make movies until he or she dies [laughs], and it may be possible for me to continue to the end. But I know that I have the responsibility to train and nuture more young people to become better creators, directors and producers. For the maintenance and the expansion of the industry I've got to work [on that], I understand that, but at the same time I really want to make something of my own. When it comes to game development maybe I can't make such giant games any more, maybe it's more the compact games I should work on. In the end, 20 years from now, I don't know what kind of games I'll be working on. Probably Nintendo will continue to be the entertainment company and will have to appeal to mass audiences, but I believe that 20 years from now videogames will become very different.
