Itoi: But so-called arcade games have a vibe similar to gay magazines. It's a closed world, a world outsiders don't understand, where like-minded people gather as their circle shrinks. Like narrowing concentric circles. So I think it's really important that what I did this time with MOTHER went in a different direction.
the other good quote from the interview
Miyamoto: When pornography escalates, it eventually crosses into the grotesque. I think the world of "hidden secrets" in games has almost reached that same grotesque level.
that is so true

I had the pleasure of drawing a piece about one of my favorite games, Baroque, for the latest @revistaloop.bsky.social issue <3
I personally advised Trent Reznor to jazz it up and he didn't
genre is a real marketing tool. it's not real in the sense that it defines the few ideal forms these things can take. genre can have appeal, but it's also about convenience and risk aversion. it can be a container that helps define a space for imagining, but its walls constrain as they protect.
"what if it looks like this?" "what if it sounds like this?" "how do you interact with it?" "what if you use the controller like this?" "what if we write like this?" those are primordial questions, starting from 0. "genre conventions" have you start by throwing out most of the toolbox. genre is fake
never saw the stuff in the box. this kind of presentation was so charismatic.
video games used to be upfront like "this is a formal experiment. we're trying something with this one." and the audience would go "yay, they made a new kind of thing." and that's finally happening again in indie games after the industry stomped it dead.

if there was a Dai Dark video game I would pay an extra $5 for it ON TOP OF the normal retail price
it's really bleak looking back at past decades of console releases as the western publishers gain dominance almost exclusively by flooding the shelves with Realistic Gun, Realistic Sport, and TV/toy/movie license slop
