Not counting games you've worked on, what is your favorite video game?
Ice Climbers [for the original Nintendo]. You break the blocks and climb up.
Is there anything else you want to say to your fans?
Two years ago when we first started Phoenix Wright in America, we had no idea it would turn out to be such a cult hit and there's such a great community out there, very dedicated fans. We have the cosplayers - we have a contest tomorrow for the Phoenix Wright cosplayers. It's great to see how dedicated these fans are and to know that they understood the game. We're really touched by it and are very happy that has happened and hope that they will all check out number three and have a lot of fun with it.

Thank you for taking the time to talk with me!
Thank you!
