About

"It's about Wii. And together, Wii will change everything."

I was born in the Hokkaido Prefecture of Japan. As a student, I studied at and graduated from the Tokyo Institute of Technology University, where I majored in computer science.

Shortly after graduating, I joined HAL Laboratory, Inc. and in 1983 I began coordinating the software production and development of Nintendo titles, such as the Kirby series.

By 1993, I had become president of the company. In 2000, I moved to Nintendo Co., Ltd. as the head of the Corporate Planning division, where I was responsible for Nintendo's global corporate planning.

In 2002, I was named president of Nintendo Co., Ltd. (replacing Mr. Yamauchi) where I continue to guide development of games with the passion of a game creator.

Well, the full game is more of the same and that's it. The only difference is multiplayer, which is a bit more fleshed out in the full game.

If you love RTS games, don't play it. Just stick to Starcraft and spare yourself the nitpicking agony. However, if you aren't an RTS nazi, you'll probably like Halo Wars. It's really basic and elementary. The story, true to form, is ******** amazing.

I have other games that are on my plate right now, or else I would. Right now, I'm much more interested in Halo Wars than anything else.
