Eciii Grasshopper’s games are very ambitious, conceptually and visu- ally—do you think that's essential to a Satisfying game experiance?
(95: Graphics and game design give the frst impression of a game, so obviously, these things are important SHI, with No Hore Herve, something ealisd qar seeing ts reception inthe American and Eupean markets is that peopl have Jeamed! that there's mor to aur ames than the et impnessione—the gameplay and action wor paid highly overseas So Tm happy that people thnk of Grasshopper Manutactuo as a conpary that makes coo! games that ar fun pay ne I's aig Step for our company

EG: We've noticed thatthe games that Sell well in Japan tond to be established brands, with Monster Hunter being the only recent breakout ht, Do you think Japan is simply dificult market to
