Miyamoto says it’s time to take Super Mario Bros. in a new direction
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 20 Comments
TIME has an interview with up Shigeru Miyamoto and Takashi Tezuka. Some of the comments are actually from June, but there’s a sprinkling of fresh remarks as well.
One interesting excerpt concerns Miyamoto talking about how Super Mario Maker is like a transition point for the franchise, as Nintendo feels it’s time “to move in a new direction”. Miyamoto said:
“Doing this now at the 30th anniversary [of Super Mario Bros.] is really putting some more of that creativity into the players. But at the same time, we as the developers feel that it’s time for us to move in a new direction, and we’re preparing to work on the future of Super Mario from here on.”

The stream will be hosted on Niconico here.
I also wanted to mention that Game Freak’s Junichi Masuda put up a tweet recently about a tease for the Pokemon anime. News will be announced in the upcoming issue of CoroCoro, though it will also be on TV Tokyo next Tuesday. We should be hearing about the silhouetted Pokemon from the movie trailer.
