Nintendo is working on more “Garage” games similar in nature to Splatoon, Shigeru Miyamoto revealed in the latest issue of EDGE. Project Guard and Project Giant Robot also fall under the same category.

As reported by EDGE:

Splatoon and the three prototypes are the first games to emerge from Garage, a new Nintendo development programme set up last year in which developers break off into small teams and work on new ideas. “There are increasing numbers of young staff at Nintendo’s development studios these days,” Miyamoto says, “and these young guys really want to express themselves.” Work is done during office hours, but he compares Garage to an after-school club, in spirit if not in schedule. “Class time’s over: they gather together and think about new projects completely apart from their everyday business assignments. When all of those projects have advanced to a certain stage, we gather together and exchange opinions on the outcome of each of them, and together we decide which ones should continue. We may have shown several software titles at E3 [that came from Garage], but there are many others in development too.

REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–One is a brilliant archeologist who has traveled the world solving puzzles and unearthing ancient civilizations. The other is a bumbling defense attorney whose sense of justice is matched only by his sense of style. The two seem like an unlikely pair, but with the life of an innocent girl at stake in Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, the two heroes join forces to tackle an enigmatic mystery big enough for both of them. The Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney game launches for Nintendo 3DS on Aug. 29 and combines the puzzle-solving satisfaction of the Professor Layton series with the courtroom drama of the Phoenix Wright franchise.

“This is the whole truth and nothing but the truth: Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney is an absolute treat for longtime fans of both series and newcomers who love puzzles and engaging stories”

As you might have heard, Tappingo 2 is delayed until 4 September (next week). The Nintendo team asked me if I wanted to delay the game. Because this week was super busy and they could help me
promote the game much better next week.

The reason I’m mentioning this is because I’m just super grateful to the NoA team. They are trying to
think with me, and are actively helping out to make Tappingo 2 a success.

Without them looking out for me. I would have released the game this week (without knowing about
the other titles coming out). And it would probably been snowed under.

Having them behind me is a great feeling!

I think it’s something worth mentioning. Especially after all the negative news about Nintendo and
third parties. I think it’s good to know Nintendo is actively trying to help indies.

I do got some cool stuff to share with you about Tappingo 2 as well;

Most players seemed to love the retro console puzzles in Tappingo 1. Well, they are back! But I took
it to the next level; I’m collaborating with some of the biggest Nintendo indies to have puzzles based
on their games.
