TIME magazine has published an interview with Shigeru Miyamoto earlier than they should have. The interview reveals that Miyamoto is working on three Wii U titles including the mighty Star Fox. Here’s what Mr Miyamoto has been working on.
In one of the games, which Miyamoto called Project Giant Robot, players control sky-scraping automatons, angling the Wii U GamePad in front of a TV screen while shifting their torsos left and right or up and down to maneuver the robot’s upper-body while thumbing the controller’s joysticks to punch or grab — almost like a full-body game of Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Robots. The GamePad shows you what the robot sees, while the TV screen offers a zoomed-back view, letting onlookers — as well as you — admire your tromping, pummeling handiwork.
In another, titled Project Guard, the GamePad became a quick-jump map of a fortress manned by numbered, laser-firing security cameras. As robots encroach on different entry points, you have to tap the GamePad to leap from camera to camera, blasting enemies that trundle or come at you sprinting — even some that sneak under your radar. All the while, onlookers can shout out the numbers that correspond to robot-threatened camera feeds, turning your defense operations into a frenetic, heart-racing, tap-and-fire scramble.
A game Nintendo fans have been waiting for a very long time to see: Star Fox is back, only reimagined on the Wii U using Miyamoto’s new GamePad-based controls — controls that’ll ask of players things they’ve never had to do before in a video game. Whether they’ll come willing or balk remains to be seen, but Miyamoto is convinced he’s on to a control scheme that’s not only novel, but with practice, indispensable.
WOWOWOOWOWOWOWOOWOWOOWOWOWOWOWOWOOWOWOWOWOWOOWOWOWOOWOWOWOW WOWOWOOWOWOWOWOOWOWOOWOWOWOWOWOWOOWOWOWOWOWOOWOWOWOOWOWOWOW WOWOWOOWOWOWOWOOWOWOOWOWOWOWOWOWOOWOWOWOWOWOOWOWOWOOWOWOWOW WOWOWOOWOWOWOWOOWOWOOWOWOWOWOWOWOOWOWOWOWOWOOWOWOWOOWOWOWOW WOWOWOOWOWOWOWOOWOWOOWOWOWOWOWOWOOWOWOWOWOWOOWOWOWOOWOWOWOW WOWOWOOWOWOWOWOOWOWOOWOWOWOWOWOWOOWOWOWOWOWOOWOWOWOOWOWOWOW WOWOWOOWOWOWOWOOWOWOOWOWOWOWOWOWOOWOWOWOWOWOOWOWOWOOWOWOWOW WOWOWOOWOWOWOWOOWOWOOWOWOWOWOWOWOOWOWOWOWOWOOWOWOWOOWOWOWOW WOWOWOOWOWOWOWOOWOWOOWOWOWOWOWOWOOWOWOWOWOWOOWOWOWOOWOWOWOW WOWOWOOWOWOWOWOOWOWOOWOWOWOWOWOWOOWOWOWOWOWOOWOWOWOOWOWOWOW WOWOWOOWOWOWOWOOWOWOOWOWOWOWOWOWOOWOWOWOWOWOOWOWOWOOWOWOWOW WOWOWOOWOWOWOWOOWOWOOWOWOWOWOWOWOOWOWOWOWOWOOWOWOWOOWOWOWOW WOWOWOOWOWOWOWOOWOWOOWOWOWOWOWOWOOWOWOWOWOWOOWOWOWOOWOWOWOW WOWOWOOWOWOWOWOOWOWOOWOWOWOWOWOWOOWOWOWOWOWOOWOWOWOOWOWOWOW WOWOWOOWOWOWOWOOWOWOOWOWOWOWOWOWOOWOWOWOWOWOOWOWOWOOWOWOWOW WOWOWOOWOWOWOWOOWOWOOWOWOWOWOWOWOOWOWOWOWOWOOWOWOWOOWOWOWOW WOWOWOOWOWOWOWOOWOWOOWOWOWOWOWOWOOWOWOWOWOWOOWOWOWOOWOWOWOW!!!
Ok, I’ve come back down to earth. Hopefully the controls for Starfox will feel comfortable.
Look at that gameplay shot! Looks like we’re back in the arwing!!! WOWOWOOWOWOWOOWOWO!!!
Ok, I’m normal again. Hopefully you can switch to traditional controls as well. Just my preference. BUT GODDAMN!!! STARFOX!!! WOOT WOOT WOOT WOOT!!! Since gameplay is available, I’m guessing this game will come out sooner than expected!
OMFG
HYPE IS REAL
How about 3DS?
The 3DS has enough games let’s let the Wii U get some Shine right now.
How about NO for the 3DS.
3DS has Pokemon. POKEMON. What else do you need.
OMFG
Excited… but kind of sad I’m not gonna be surprised when I watch the Digital Event later today…
Right? I was looking forward to the surprise… :/
Weird, isn’t it? I mean, don’t get me wrong, Star Fox on the Wii U will be awesome, but… spoilers… Nobody likes spoilers… :P
It wasn’t going to be announced in the direct any way, I’m not that worried. :/
Niceee, robot game sounds dope as hell
whats with the robots? still have to see more. star fox is nice.
StarFox! Enough said! Bring it on, my body is ready lol

More shit that won’t sell consoles
Kill yourself.
See? This is the Nintendo fanboy mindset. Say one negative thing and they get all sensitive and violent
FUCK AND DIE ON A BAD ACID TRIP + BEING FUCKED BY A TRANSEXUAL ON AIDS WITHOUT CONDOMS
You have to be joking. Fans have been begging for a new Star Fox game since the GameCube era.
That’s awesome! But I wanted to be surprised :((((
And also, GamePad controls only? ;_;
Maybe there will be an option to use the pro controller. We’ll find out.
YES GAMEPAD IS GOOD GET OVER IT.

WOOO!!! Miyamoto is a game design beast!!!! Three projects at once at his age of 61! That’s really impressive. If there is one man that we can ever make immortal, I hope it’s Shigeru Miyamoto.
THIS ^^^ x 1000000000000000000000000
In our Lord and Savior we trust!
Ok if its shown in the direct Nintendo wins
Nintendo won e3 my body is ready
You guys will be surprised because the hype is real and the game play is also.
Star Fox is good news, but the other games that use the Game Pad? *yawn*
Yep and we have a person here to try and downplay it. Typical.
How was he downplaying Star Fox. In fact, wasn’t he saying it was good news? It’s just his opinion on the other games, get over it
Oh okay so I’m not allowed to have an opinion about his opinion? Too bad, I gave already. Get over it.
Where’s the trolls at? :o oh wait…….. Lol

Aaaaaah!!! Dios mio!!! Qué hype!!! Oh… erm… sorry bros, what were we talking about…?
YAAAAAY! I knew Nintendo was going to pull through for us this E3!!!!
Nintendo wins E3 and wins fucking Life, Miyamoto thank you so fucking much!
Pingback: E3 2014
Holy fucking shit! YES!
I knew this would happen and that Miyamoto would handle Star Fox soon as it was revealed that Kamiya had something different planned in the form of an Xbone exclusive. I’ll still get the later console soon just for that game.
Platinum can handle th next Metroid ;)
Unless….. NINTENDO IS ALREADY WORKING ON THE NEXT METROID!!! Maybe we’ll see it at E3 as well!
I am not a fan, if it sell well why not…
I…think I’m going to cry :’)
I already did! :”)
AWESOME
Now let us have a new F-zero please, Ninty

The 1st person viewpoint using the Gamepad & the 3rd person viewpoint using the TV better be used for Metroid for Wii U if there ever is one. I don’t want a solely 1st person Metroid ever again even though Metroid Prime Trilogy was awesomely spectacular. And yay! Star Fox U! And I can’t wait to see more from that robot game from Miyamoto.
Awesome!! Now pretty please, just please get to work on the next Metroid Prime!! :(
*the next Metroid!! Fixed. I want Metroid “Fusion 2,” not Metroid Prime 4.
the starfox screenshot is of starfox 64… That’s not exciting at all…
