Miyamoto Needs More Ideas for Wii Games

August 5, 2008

Miyamoto

Ruh Roh. Nintendo’s brain child, Shigeru Miyamoto has completed all the ideas he had when he came up with the Wii. In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, Nintendo President Satoru Iwata had this to say:

Wii Music completes what Miyamoto wrote in his proposal when he came up with the idea for the Wii. He was saying that he needs to think up more ideas now.

You’re damn right he needs to come up with more ideas. Wii Music, while it will probably sell a ton, isn’t the greatest idea. We know Shiggy is working on more Mario, Zelda, and Pikman games, so I think we might be safe for a while.

Nintendo Planning on Sequels for Zelda and Mario Galaxy

April 18, 2008

Miyamoto

While this is not unexpected, its still good to hear that to 2 of the top 5 games on the console have at least planned sequels. No word yet on dates, titles, or anything of substance, but it is reassuring that we will get another taste of these games in the not-so-distant future:

The magazine also asked Miyamoto the inevitable question about sequels, and he gave the expected answer. In case you have to hear to to believe it, Miyamoto is indeed interested in making a Super Mario Galaxy sequel. He’s also thinking about the next Zelda title.

You can probably expect the Zelda sequel first due to Mario Galaxy being the most recent of the two. We can also expect at least on of these next holiday season. Nintendo keeps moving an incredible amount of consoles with a mediocre library. Except for the obvious titles, there is a huge drop-off in quality.
