─ You mentioned that you didn't fit in with Nintendo's culture.


I have always loved Nintendo games, and that hasn't changed. I also deeply respect them.
However, Nintendo has a strong philosophy of creating new and unique games of high quality and quality, and this was also questioned at the Nintendo Game Seminar.
On the other hand, I have a deep-seated desire to have as many people as possible enjoy my games, so if there are good ideas in the world, I'll pick them up, and I don't necessarily need to be concerned about originality.
I want to make my work in a more appropriate way, or in an easygoing way. I think it's good to create in that way, like jumping on the bandwagon (laughs).
