It isn't about "games", for me, personally, and it never really was. It was about creating something- anything- far bigger than yourself. - Shigeru Miyamoto

Necessity is the mother of invention. I love solving things like that. Because there wasn't enough memory, thinking of an economical way to make the movements look right was like solving a puzzle, and I had a lot of fun.

Originally, I wanted a machine that would cost $100. My idea was to spend nothing on the console technology so all the money could be spent on improving the interface and software. If we hadn't used NAND flash memory [to store data such as games and photos] and other pricey parts, we might have succeeded.

If you release a game in a bad state, you will always regret it.
