Iwata
So the three of you were brought together in 1984 and you’ve been working with each other for a quarter of a century. What kind of conversations do you have day-to-day?

Nakago
Well, I think we started out as a kind of hobby group.

Iwata
A “hobby group”?


Nakago
It’s something that I used to say all the time: “We’re not really pros.”

Iwata
Hold on a minute! Are you saying that the team that has come up with games that people all around the world have taken to their hearts are not pros, but are just a kind of hobby group?


Nakago
Well, I didn’t originally join SRD because I wanted to make video games.

Tezuka
And I didn’t even know who Pac-Man was!
