- Nintendo looking to match battery life of the DSi
- Regarding orchestrated music in Zelda for Wii, the number of staff working at Nintendo has increased to write more songs
- Pikmin 3 not brought to E3 since Miyamoto didn’t want it to be a distraction for other games
- “Rest assured, though, we are very hard at work on Pikmin.”
- Developers want Skyward Sword to have streamlined combat, which is why you can drink a potion and move at the same time
- Same person who worked on the whip in Spirit Tracks is working on it for Skyward Sword
- The game will, of course, involve puzzles and exploring as well as combat (because of this, he doesn’t seem to think players getting tired will be an issue)

Well, I’m satisfied just knowing Pikmin 3 is going along well. And at least Mr. Miyamoto had a good reason not to show it, so I can’t be disappointed. Hopefully we’ll see something from it this year though!

SWEEET!!! I so hope they can match the battery life of the DSi; for the 3DS!!
And all of this Zelda Wii aka Skyward Sword has me EXCITED TODAY!!
First the E3 showing; (and now that I’ve finally calmed down)… those story tidbit SKYROCKETED my HYPE that I wish it was 2011 already!!
They can take all of the extra time they need on Zelda Skyward Sword now; & heck YES they so need orchestrated music… like in the Super Mario Galaxy games!

They could at least tell us if it is coming for the Wii, I don’t doubt it or anything but you never know.
