PEOPLE: - Hideki Konno, age 45. Supervisor for The Wind Waker. Producer of Nintendogs & Nintendogs + Cats. - Satoru Iwata, age 51. President of Nintendo. - Shigeru Miyamoto, age 58. Creator of the Zelda series. Supervisor of Nintendogs & Nintendogs + Cats. QUOTE: "Konno: We went to a furniture store, and my son kept glancing sullenly at his DS. He looked glum, so I asked, ‘What's the matter?’ and realized … that he had only come with me to use Tag Mode [for Dragon Quest IX]! I said, ‘Shall we go somewhere better?’ and took him to an electronics store. Iwata: And hits started pouring in? Konno: Yeah. [laughs] One after the next! He was smiling from ear to ear, and I thought, ‘Man, this is what I wanted to happen with Nintendogs!’ So I was frustrated. Miyamoto: I egged him on, though. I said things like, ‘The users just weren't that serious about it,’ and ‘I bet you really didn't think you'd use it yourself when you made it.’ [laughs]"

PEOPLE: - Shigeru Miyamoto, age 58. General Producer of Nintendogs and Nintendogs + Cats. - Satoru Iwata, age 51. President of NIntendo. QUOTE: "Miyamoto: I had heard a lot about what cats are like, and I thought having one would be difficult, but luckily my dog got along well with the new arrival. … Iwata: I hear there are homes where the dog and cat get along and others where they don't. Miyamoto: … When I see my two pets getting along so well, there are all sorts of pretty pictures. For example, my dog will be padding along with the cat padding along behind it, or their silhouettes will be lined up before the evening sun. It put me in mind of The Incredible Journey, a Disney film I had seen as a child. … It was quite moving. [laughs]"

PEOPLE: - Shigeru Miyamoto, age 58. Creator of Zelda. General Producer of Nintendogs and Nintendogs + Cats. - Satoru Iwata, age 51. President of Nintendo. QUOTE: "Miyamoto: To be honest, I didn't feel like making a follow-up Nintendogs at the time. Iwata: The motivation for making the first Nintendogs game was when you first got a dog, but even if you could imagine a game with other animals, you didn't feel like making one. Miyamoto: Right. I thought dogs were special at the time. Besides, I thought if cats followed dogs, it just wouldn't be like Nintendo. … I thought that with Nintendogs we had done something new beyond what previous pet-raising simulation games had offered, and I thought it would be great if third parties came out with all kinds of similar products. Besides, I didn't have a cat yet back then. [laughs]"
