Following Shigeru Miyamoto’s acceptance of the Prince of Asturias Award, Gamereactor chatted with the legendary Nintendo designer about a variety of topics. Miyamoto talked about online (specifically related to the Wii U), the possibility of Retro making a Zelda game (yes, again!), and more.
Check out a few tidbits from the interview below.
– Premise: almost every Wii U user will already has Wiimote, Nunchuk and even WM+ – this gives freedom to devs. IR alternate pointing to both screens highly possible
– Miyamoto-san doesn’t think they fell behind with online, but now is the right moment and you ‘have’ to be online with the Wii U.
– Retro qualified for Zelda game, but being in America would leave less-dependent games for them (story, design Japan-only)
– They’ll encourage handwritten chatting with Miiverse
– 2 current goals are: own creation and creating teams which doesn’t need him.
– iPad Mini screen size is another indication they took the right path with GamePad design
