Niels Hooft recently had the opportunity to sit down with legendary video game designer Shigeru Miyamoto to talk about Pikmin 3. While discussing Pikmin 3, Miyamoto reiterated that he is currently extremely busy with his new IP which he has been working on for quite some time. He wouldn’t discuss details, but he did say that the mystery project is actually getting busier lately. Hopefully, we won’t have to wait too long to see what it is he is working on.
If I’m not mistaken, Pikmin was the last time you worked on a truly new adventure type game. Don’t you miss this?
“I happen to be working on a completely new game even now. The project is actually getting busier lately.”
Thanks, Mike S

I notice Nintendo fans of different ages tend to have pretty different taste, or at least their tops. I was 4 when I got an NES in 88 and got a SNES christmas 91 so a lot of my favorites are from that era. Oh I forgot, add Diddy’s Kong Quest to that list. Kind of kool that Nintendo can appeal to different generations in different ways and imprint a huge mark in life and childhood in fresh ways with the same characters.
