The State of Nintendo and Zelda Wii

E3 is already over a week past, and news is still streaming out of the summit as sites finally get around to posting their exclusive interviews and the information held within them. Miyamoto is always a hot ticket interview, and this time around he had the chance to sit down and chat with the staff at Gamespot. Watch the interview inside.




Miyamoto admits that he is the only one pushing hard for Wii Motion Plus to be included in Wii Zelda, and that things like the Wii Balance Board and Vitality Sensor are not really things that lend good innovation to the series. He also goes on to say he doesn't view Zelda as an adventure game, but more so an experience. Obviously, they delve into other topics as well such as the new Mario games, and they even end the segment by talking about Metroid: Other M. Pretty interesting stuff. We look forward to more information from our Zelda creator down the road.

For some reason, I was a bit surprised (but happy) to hear him describe Zelda as "not specifically an action game, but an experience for people in the world of Hyrule".

The man shares my exact feelings on the franchise, I think this new game is in good hands.

Well, that man does happen to be Shigeru Miyamoto. So, was there ever a doubt?

As a zelda fan, I demand a shirt like the one Miyamoto is wearing in the interview.
Also, Zelda can never go wrong in Miyamoto's hands. This is the man who brought us most Zelda titles.
Truthfully, every zelda game made me smile (except the infamous CD-i games). Because, if you think about it, every Zelda title offers a fresh, rewarding concept and experience (except the infamous CD-i games).
