In an interview with zoomin.tv, Miyamoto discusses last year’s fiasco of a Wired interview and how he is indeed still working at Nintendo, and is in fact working on an original game. It is too early to tell if this new game will be on 3DS, Wii, or even Wii U, but color me interested. Anything that Miyamoto brings to the table is usually a good thing, so in Miyamoto we trust.
It’s hard to even speculate on what type of genre of game Miyamoto has cooking up at Nintendo HQ because, quite frankly, he usually creates genres when he makes games. If you can take anything away from the Wired interview it would seem that he is interested in working on smaller titles that can be completed in a short amount of time, so perhaps this project will be a downloadable set of games with a similar theme not unlike the Bit.Trip series.
What would you like to see Miyamoto bring to the table, and on what platform?
Very cool!
I hope that it is on 3DS, just because I don't plan on getting a Wii U. Though, that fact makes it likely that it will be on the Wii U.
I absolutely love the charm of Miyamoto's games, despite my usual gaming and aesthetic (otaku-esque) tastes. I just hope that it isn't a mini-game collection involving the Wii U tablet or 3DS' 3D effects, Ã la Wii Sports. A lot of people recommend that game, but I don't understand why–just my thoughts.
Chances are, though, if it is just a Mii game, colour me uninterested. The only one that I enjoyed was Pilot Wings Resort, and that's a bit of a different case, as well.
Maybe a new franchise… recently Nintendo games have taken to the skies, the seas, the heavens, outer space perhaps he will venture towards the earth's core next?
We can expect anything from Miyamoto. I bet it will be for Wii U given the launch date is getting closer…but this tittle won't be a launch tittle.
My thoughts…
Nintendi really need a slew of smaller downloadable games like Pushmo and FreakyForms, for both the 3DS and Wii U. So I'm hoping that Miyamoto's game will be something along those lines, hopefully with DLC to keep things fresh for those most sought after "evergreen" sales that Nintendo thrive on.
I want a official Mario on the Apple app store. That would be so much fun because then i could have all my other apps PLUS MARIO 🙂 🙂
@bananaoomarang
What have you done to me!?
I'd love to see him do more projects involving creativity and freeform play: I love Wii Music and I'd like to see Miyamoto do more projects along those lines–things like Freakyforms and Electroplankton that can be a bit out-there…free of the pressure of having to support Nintendo as super-profitable tentpole releases.
Whatever he does, it's gonna be charming, life-affirming and positive! 🙂
@ Monkat: re: the popularity of Wii Sports. It's the Bowling. Best pick-up-and-play game in the history of videogames. Catapulted Wii to superstardom single-handedly!
@ Nathan: I'd like to see some 2nd-tier Nintendo games on iPhone (an iOS-designed Warioware could be the biggest game on the device ever, for example), but…Mario? It would control like garbage! 🙂
This is a very good an awesome news.

I'm sorry. That link had to posted.
