Revered developer Shigeru Miyamoto was awarded The CEDEC Award Special Prize at the recent CEDEC Awards, his humble acceptance speech is as follows:
“Well… Tomorrow I’m going to talk for about an hour, so today I didn’t think I’d have a speech. (laughs) Thank you very much. I think, even as I get older, I want to keep striving. I think anyone who still has the opportunity to work still feels that way. Honestly, as society recognizes gaming bit by bit, I think we should all do our best so that the game business flourishes and the number of the children who want to enter the industry multiples. Thank you very much.”
