Yet his vision of the future propelled推動 him up the chain of command, landing him at the highest level of the video game industry.

然而，他對未來的遠見推動他一步步晉升，最終站在了影片遊戲行業的最高層。

We are also particularly appreciative that he will be delivering遞送 his keynote in English and with a sore throat.

請和我一起歡迎任天堂的掌門人——全球總裁巖田聰。

Thank you very much, J.

非常感謝，J。

All my business card: I am a corporate president.

在我名片上印的是：公司總裁。

In my mind, I am a game developer.

但在我的腦海裡，我是一名遊戲開發者。

But in my heart, I am a gamer.

而在我的內心深處，我是一名玩家。

Today, I'd like to speak to you from my heart about our jobs and about our industry工業.

今天，我想發自內心地與大家談談我們的工作以及我們所處的行業。

I remember the first video game I ever played—it was Pong—and I loved it.

我記得我玩過的第一款電子遊戲是《Pong》，我非常喜歡它。

By the time I was in high school, I was the first person in my class to buy an AL-8 calculator.

上高中時，我是班裡第一個購買 AL-8 計算器的人。

I think I was one of the original early adapters.

我想我算是早期的採用者之一。

But where most people used their calculators for higher mathematics, I used mine to program video games.

當大多數人用計算器進行高等數學運算時，我卻用它來編寫電子遊戲。

My first creation was a baseball game.

我的第一個作品是一款棒球遊戲。

I don't think anyone can say it has bad graphics圖形設計 because it has no graphics圖形設計.

沒人能說它的畫面不好，因為它根本沒有畫面。

Gameplay was represented by only numbers.

遊戲玩法僅由數字來表示。

But when I saw my friends playing that game and having fun, it made me feel proud.

但當我看到朋友們在玩這款遊戲並樂在其中時，我感到無比自豪。

To me, this was a source來源 of energy and passion.

對我來說，這就是靈感和激情的源泉。

At that passion for games began to blossom蓬勃發展.

那時，我對遊戲的熱情開始萌芽。

I think my life course課程 was set in 1978.

我認為我的人生軌跡在 1978 年就已註定。

I entered the Tokyo Institute of Technology.

我進入了東京工業大學。

I would have loved to study video game programming, but no one was teaching it then, so I went to classes on engineering工程學 and early computer science.

我本想學習電子遊戲程式設計，但當時無人教授，所以我轉而修讀了工程和早期電腦科學課程。

But after class, when my friends went back to their rooms to study, I took off on my motorcycle for one retail store in Tokyo.

但下課後，當我的朋友們回房間學習時，我騎上摩托車直奔東京的一家零售店。

This was the first store to have a department entirely dedicated把…獻給 to personal computers.

這是第一家設有專門部門銷售個人電腦的商店。

That was my hangout閒逛, and I was not alone—there were others there who also looked at those early computers

那是我的據點，而且我並不孤單——那裡還有其他人也在研究那些早期的電腦。

and thought the same thing I did: How could we play games on them?

並和我想的一樣：我們怎麼能在上面玩遊戲呢？

We became friends, formed a club and soon rented an apartment in the Akihabara District of Tokyo, where we began designing our own games.

我們成了朋友，組建了一個俱樂部，不久後在東京秋葉原租了一間公寓，開始設計自己的遊戲。
