I also love this quote, from a recent issue of Play magazine:
The funniest thing about that last part is that when Tecmo polled their fans at their website a few years back about which console they'd like to see a new Ninja Gaiden on, the GC got the most votes and the PS2 second. That's certainly listening to your fans, right?
Quote:"Well, I do listen to the voice of my fans. I make my game the way I think it should be done. What people like about it, don't like about it, I know what they're saying. But I also know exactly how I wanted to make the game. When I approach the next project, I don't simply go with what others are telling me to do, yet I am absorbing and listening to valid observations. I actually seperate gamers into two groups: my fans and other gamers. I don't care what gamers have to say; I only listen to my fans."
