"...I might view this game as sacrilege against true music."

At least he's honest. Ya dig, pallys?

edit - some more choice quotes:

Iwata
I wonder what, exactly, has excited you so much. Is it because something you always wanted to make has finally been accomplished?

Miyamoto
I suppose so. I strongly want everyone to understand this game. Earlier you said this may be my life's work. This game may be exactly what I've wanted to accomplish all this time. It may also be a reaction against my complex about musical instruments.

I wasn't this excited when we created Super Mario Bros.

From Super Mario 64 and Ocarina of Time to this.  :'(

his life work? Not Mario or Zelda, but waggling independently from midi music that's playing in the background?

Wii fans have destroyed their own god. It's like that stuff in the bible with Mozes and the golden cow and shit.

If this is what he has been trying to accomplish all this time, SMB must have been some freak accident of good game design. How disgraceful.

These days, working at Nintendo requires a pre-frontal lobotomy.

Miyamoto
Excuse me, may I say something? You guys have completely missed the point of all my wisdom!

Iwata
Agh! Miyamoto-san…you're not supposed to be here…

Miyamoto
Well, it's a good thing I am. It's nice that the game gained appeal, but without those extra features, the instruments wouldn't sound like themselves! For example, if you compare single notes from the guitar and ukulele sound sources, you can hardly tell the difference between them. If you ask the sampling staff, they'll tell you the source sounds are different, but your average person out there can't tell just by listening to single notes. A ukulele's a ukulele because it's four strings on a small body and neck that you strum all at once with your fingers, and a folk guitar's a folk guitar because you can strum away at it. That's what makes them feel real. I'm certain that's what I told you, but you don't seem to remember at all!

Iwata
Miyamoto-san's not supposed to be here.

Wada
Can anybody else hear Miyamoto-san? I could swear I just heard him talking.

Morii
I can hear him, too!

Totaka
It's just like he's in the room with us!

Miyamoto
A harp's a harp because you can run your fingers up the scale and bagpipes are bagpipes because they squeak and squawk and a sitar's a sitar because the strings continue to reverberate and…

Miyamoto's like a random old man who just walks into the room and starts talking. Everybody just ignores him.  :lol
