'''LA: So — retiring? What exactly did you mean when you first made the statement?''' | '''LA: So — retiring? What exactly did you mean when you first made the statement?''' | ||
'''SM:''' I’m sorry that whatever I said has been somehow reported in a way which causes some misunderstanding. To make it very clear, I have no intention of retiring right now at all, and I do not think that I’m old enough to think about retiring anytime soon. The fact of the matter is I’ve been really enjoying working at the forefront of video game-making at Nintendo, but I cannot work forever, and the current system is that when people see Nintendo, in the current structure of development, people see me as the sole person responsible for the entire development of series. There are other young developers who are being supervised by me, but thinking in terms of the future, we need to increase the number of people who can take on more responsibilities and more important assignments other than myself. One way to express what I’m doing right now is to say that I’m inspiring younger generations to take more of a lead and more important assignments for themselves by saying get prepared for the time I need to retire. That’s what I really meant to say, and once again I’m sorry if there was some misunderstanding. | '''SM:''' I’m sorry that whatever I said has been somehow reported in a way which causes some misunderstanding.

'''LA: When developing a game nowadays, story is really important. Crafting a game like Zelda, is it coming up with a story then creating the technology to make it, or is it coming up with technology then building a story to utilize it fully?''' | '''LA: When developing a game nowadays, story is really important.
