The opening quote totally blows my mind as a humble non-game dev. I never thought of it this way. > Miyamoto: Ever since Donkey Kong, it’s been our thinking that for a game to sell, it has to excite the people who are watching the player—it has to make you want to say, “hey, gimme the controller next!” ... The simple approach is to say, "to make a great game, it should be fun for the person playing it." But they've already taken a step back and approached it from the perspective that great gaming happens socially. Maybe this is one reason I cherished all the Nintendo games as much as I did. It's because the memories of playing them are always with other people and we're all having fun. It wasn't a solo act.
