In a 2003 interview with Sweden's Superplay magazine, Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto addressed the growing popularity of Grand Theft Auto by arguing that Nintendo's role was not to imitate Rockstar's darker style, but to "produce alternatives." He emphasized a design philosophy aimed at both children and adults while urging developers to observe moral and ethical boundaries, reflecting an approach Nintendo has largely maintained since.
