PEOPLE: - Takayuki Shimamura. Director of Wii Sports Resort. - Satoru Iwata, age 49. President of Nintendo. - Shigeru Miyamoto, age 56. Creator of Zelda, General Producer of Wii Sports Resort. QUOTE: "Iwata: By the way, why did you decide to include golf in Wii Sports Resort? Shimamura: Well, after Miyamoto-san got back from E3 in 2008... Miyamoto: Really? Is that right? All: [laughter] Shimamura: Right after getting back to Japan, he suddenly said: ‘You know we're including golf now.’ Apparently he'd stated in an interview that this time round golf shots would be determined by the backswing, even though at that time a golf game didn't exist in any shape or form! [laughs] Iwata: It's a trick he often uses! [laughs] Miyamoto: That's right. I block off the escape route."
