PEOPLE: - Shigeru Miyamoto, age 58. General Producer of Steel Diver. Creator of Zelda & Mario. - Satoru Iwata, age 51. President of Nintendo. QUOTE: Miyamoto: If the control for the [Steel Diver] submarine was going to be for an action game, I could make it [on a controller]. But if it were to be controlled like a flight-simulation game, you'd have lots of dials to look at and adjust while trying to move it. … This might be a minute detail, but when you move something large, you need a "throttle" in the cockpit. You can't substitute that with just buttons. When you use the throttle and move it up or down to a certain position… Iwata: It stays in the spot to which you moved it. Miyamoto: Right. … Throttles have to be something that, if you forget to pull back, you'll go, "Argh! I forgot about the throttle!"
