Nakagawa
So we were making the game to be how we like games, and it was really difficult.
Iwata
In true Treasure style. (laughs)
Nakagawa
I was looking over their shoulders and thinking, "Nintendo's gonna make us change this later on" If I had said anything, though, it would have got their backs up, so I waited for Nintendo to do it.
Iwata
Because you didn't want to say it yourself, you let us do the dirty work! (laughs)
Nakagawa
That's right. But the feedback was the exact opposite!
Iwata
Huh?
Nakagawa
You guys said, "It's too easy! What's the deal?!"
Everyone
(laughs)
Nakagawa
They said, "The enemy gets wiped out in no time." When I said, "But it's supposed to be really difficult," they said, "Fans will never approve of something so easy."
Iwata
We said that? To Treasure?
Nakagawa
Right. It turns out that with the Wii Remote it's easier to aim, so you totally clean house.
Iwata
Oh, I see.
Yamagami
The Wii Remote is particularly suited to shooting.
Iwata
That's why it was easy to defeat the enemies. But, of all things, did you tell none other than Treasure to make it more difficult? (laughs)
Matsushita
Yes. During the last stage of development.
Hattori
I had voiced my concern over the fact that even I could clear it without losing once. (laughs)
