Miyamoto talks: Zelda, Mario 128 and more

Shigeru Miyamoto recently talked to a japanese radio show where he was asked about the future for Nintendo and the aswers left us with even more questions. I think we are getting used to that. Here´s the transcript of the interview.

Why wait so long to release a new installment of Mario? The wait is frustrating players everywhere…

Mario is and always has been a concept title from his birth. We are always looking for new ways of playing with him, manipulating him, to create something new and unique. We’re in the midst of preparing something special for his future, something never before seen. You’ll understand when you see it that we can’t quite release it right away. The new Mario game will surprise many people. Give us the benefit of the doubt. I think we’ll present you with a new way to have fun. There’s even a new character by his side.

Mario 128 will be released for Revolution then?

Yes, of course! It’s no surprise, but of course we will rename it, obviously. That won’t be the only surprise of next year though. We based the Revolution around this new type of game. Mario 128 played a large role in the Revolution’s conception, much like Mario 64 in it’s time. But we won’t just be focusing on Mario. We’re working on some very impressive games which push interactivity to the max. Games of a new era.

The new Zelda, it’s not really good news that…

Please allow me to interrupt you by saying that you will have to be patient, really. This will be, without a doubt, the last Zelda game as you know it in its present form. I worked on it personally, moreso than Wind Waker! I haven’t invested as much into any game as I have this one. Our goal was to make the best Zelda game ever. The most rich/satisfying and melancholy. We’ve really improved it in just a few months. Everything’s coming together much quicker. We may have some last minute ideas…

You’re going to move it to Revolution?

No, it is a Gamecube title.

In any case, you want to preserve the air of mystery around Nintendo?

We will be revealing many details soon. It’s true, we do like surprises (laughs). While our gamers are sleeping, we’re busy thinking up new ideas. But while they’re playing - we’re playing as well.

So what is this special “never before seen” thing in Mario 128? And who’s the new character by his side? How will Twilight Princess be the last Zelda game as we know it? Has this game really seen more of Miyamoto’s magic than any other? Nintendo’s air of mystery continues, though for how much longer until all is revealed..?

So, Mario will get a new sidekick, who? what´s his role?, Twilight Princess will be the last Zelda game for the franchise as we know it, will we start seeing darker and more serious Zelda games?.

My head is spinning. Seriously, we need answers.

Miyamoto talks: Revolution, Wi-Fi and more

Shigeru Miyamoto DSShigeru Miyamoto gave some extra details on the revolution on a recent interview to EGM, we are getting used to not expecting a lot from recent interviews where nintendo people just discuss little details and this is not the exception.

He talked a bit about the games they could be planning for the upcoming console hinting new Pikmin and Luigi´s mansion sequels: “Nothing’s set in stone yet, but the interface we’re creating for the Revolution is well suited to Pikmin”.

Miyamoto san also talked a bit about the Wi-Fi possibilities, as expected, the Revolution will connect to the DS and he also said the console won´t have an Ethernet port, just the USB we already know about.

He also answered some questions about the critics regarding the graphics and the lack of built-in DVD support.

I don´t know why the critics on the graphics keep coming, i mean, we still don´t even know the specs and we certainly haven´t seen in game graphics.
