Eguchi realized that the games he was working on were hard to play, and finish. He wanted to make something that everyone would be able to play. He also noticed that when he got home from work, his family would be playing games, he wanted to be able to play with his family even though he did not have a lot of time to do so. This inspired him to make a game where he, and his family would be able to share things, and though they weren't playing at the same time, his family would be able to see what he's done, and he could see what his family had done.

Additionally, he wanted to recreate the feeling of being alone in a new town away from friends and family.

All of these factors inspired him to create Doubutsu no Mori. Since then, he has served as producer on all Animal Crossing titles. Currently he serves as the Deputy General Manager at Nintendo EAD.
