Yu Suzuki, the man behind such classic SEGA games like After Burner II, Outrun and Shenmue has been interviewed over at 1UP and it’s a fascinating read. My favourite bit? Why thanks for asking:
“Yu Suzuki: If Miyamoto was the father of gaming, I suppose that makes me the mother.
JM: [Laughs] I think Shigeru Miyamoto was probably more the mother. He’s the one finding inspiration from his garden. You were making the games about motorcycles and jets and punching and shooting people. So you’re the daddy.”
