And another quote I've been meaning to find, which sums it up quite well I think. http://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/#/wii/mario25th/4/3 http://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/#/wii/mario25th/4/3 > Iwata: That was fun for me, too. At the time, when someone came to me and said, "I'm having trouble because there isn't enough memory," I was—to be honest—really happy. (laughs) Seeing if you could achieve programming for the same functions with a smaller amount of memory was one way for a programmer to show off. > Miyamoto: We were like, "If we just leave it to Iwata-san, he'll take care of it." (laughs) > Iwata: I enjoyed that as I worked.
