PEOPLE:
- Seikou Itou. Author of No Life King.
- Shigeru Miyamoto, age 36. Creator of Zelda & Mario. 16 years later: General Producer of Nintendogs.

QUOTE:
Itou: Are developers really out of ideas? I can't stop wondering.

Miyamoto: I think there are still plenty of possibilities in game design. For instance, imagine a game where you input something, and when you check back a month later, it's transformed into something totally unexpected. We don't have anything like that, do we?

Or, take how people living in apartments today can't keep pets. If someone who was obsessed with the joy of having a pet made a game that captured that feeling, I think it would become a huge craze. And since it's a simulation, you could even include the "unfortunate" parts, like the pet eventually passing away, as part of the experience.
