Three colors are available: blue/black, red/black, and pink/white. Given its limited availability, the pink/white color would likely be the most popular choice today.

Shigeru Miyamoto provided a lot of interesting insight into a bunch of different topics in an IGN interview.

There’s obviously lots of Wii U talk. Miyamoto noted how he’s always been “more nervous than excited” for launches, discussed how the console can unify different activities, and talked about using the system with others.

Other topics include Zelda: Four Swords, which Miyamoto feels possesses “great potential to evolve even further from now” thanks to the evolving nature of networks. He also discussed how Nintendo “had continued debate as to the reason why Four Swords could not expand to the audience the way we really hoped it might have.”

Read on below for that and more, including how his thoughts on how Nintendo can keep up with gamers as they grow.

ZombiU has a big twist toward the end of the game. Story director Gabrielle Shrager won’t say what it is, but did note that skilled players may be able to discover it before it’s officially revealed in the game.

“There is a twist. ZombiU is a thriller, but only the most persistent and best-prepared survivors will discover what the twist is before the reveal.”

Given how important the twist is, Shrager hopes that Miiverse won’t lead to spoilers for new players:

“I’m sure the first survivors won’t resist the urge to spill the beans, but I hope others won’t spoil it for themselves.”
