Majora’s Mask might be one of the most interesting games in the Zelda series. Not only is the title darker and different from other entries, but development itself was also atypical.

Eiji Aonuma reflected on the original release of Majora’s Mask in a recent issue of GamesMaster. In his chat with the magazine, he discussed the game’s short development cycle, and how “innovation truly comes when you have to work under some kind of big pressure.”

Below are his words in full:

Nintendo was set to kick off its third quarter results briefing with analysts and investors in just a short while. However, president Satoru Iwata has posted a message on the company’s Japanese Twitter account confirming that the meeting has been delayed. That means we’ll have to wait at least a few more days to find out about the latest juicy tidbits from Nintendo.

Unfortunately, Iwata explained that he is currently has a fever, and influenza is suspected. A new date for the briefing will be announced sometime in the future.

Nintendo president Satoru Iwata is remaining steadfast in his stance against bringing the company’s titles to mobile platforms.

As reported by Bloomberg, Iwata recently reiterated that Nintendo won’t consider releasing its games on smart devices. “If we follow current games on smartphones and we just bring our current games into smart devices, it won’t lead to the future,” he said.

Although Nintendo is opposed to making smartphone versions of its games, the company isn’t against such devices entirely. Nintendo hopes to leverage hardware like phones to attract consumers to its own systems.

Well, this is certainly something! A NicoNico user going by the name “Wakou” has used the program Audio Pad to control Mario with sound. That makes him able to play Super Mario World with just his noise and a recorder.

Wakou uses the following commands to control Mario:

“Do” – up
“Mi” – down
“Re” – left
“Fa” – right
“Sol” – b utton
“Ti” – y button
