A Quote by Tom Chatfield

Video games are a special kind of play, but at root, they're about the same things as other games: embracing particular rules and restrictions in order to develop skills and experience rewards. When a game is well-designed, it's the balance between these factors that engages people on a fundamental level.

Creating video games is an especially important act. To me, video games are something I both play and create, so they're "special." If I lost one half, the balance would crumble. I need to be able to both play and create games.

Any kind of horror video game where I'm the first-person player and I'm... I suddenly stop caring about the video game dude, and I'm like, I really don't want him to die,' and then the minute he dies, it upsets me. I can't play those games.

Most people think video games are all about a child staring at a TV with a joystick in his hands. I don't. They should belong to the entire family. I want families to play video games together.

Selling five million units in less than 14 months means DS is the fastest among any game machines ever launched in Japan to hit that level.

Satoru Iwata
