More quotes from Shigeru Miyamoto’s interview with 4Gamer have popped online. There still isn’t an official translation, but what we have will have to do for now.

The latest Miyamoto tidbits come with regards to Pikmin. First, he made a comparison between the series’ games:

When it came to Pikmin 2, I heard a lot of complaints with the first game that had to be fixed. However, if you fix every single issue that the audience is dissatisfied with, then what makes the game interesting (in the first place)? That is the unresolved question. Therefore, I reflected on the aspect of multiple endings that were originally in Pikmin 1, and with the thought of creating it properly again I made Pikmin 3.

“I would say that [the Wii U] didn’t do as well as we expected. But if Nintendo comes with good brands this year and takes advantage of the yen, then maybe they have a chance to have a machine that has high quality games and at a reasonable price.

“Because we believe a lot in the second screen and the touch possibilities, the fact that you have a different way to play. We learned a lot in doing that and we are already reusing that knowledge using companion apps on tablets, telephones and so on. What I see is we will be able to use a lot more of those devices on the big games we will create. The companion is going to step-by-step become another device to play that will be adapted to a larger audience and still be very interesting to gamers.

“You will be able to play with friends from outside of home and still have a big impact on what’s happening in the game. We will see a big increase in terms of that possibility over the next few years.”


“You can do a lot [with tablets]. What the Nintendo GamePad has is the speed of communication between the two devices, but if you manage to cope with higher latency [on other devices] you can still do many things. So you don’t want players to have to react too fast… it’s complementary to the experience.

“So when we add all of those possibilities, plus graphics and AI, we think that the [next-gen] games will be of a fantastic quality and give us a chance to deliver something different from what you had in the old generation.”

With the launch of a Nintendo product comes a new Iwata Asks. That’s no different with New Super Luigi U, which is technically more of a DLC release. You can read the full discussion with Nintendo president Satoru Iwata and the game’s developers here.


Shigeru Miyamoto has been working very hard on Pikmin 3 in order to help boost the relatively slow sales on the Wii U, and he has a very clear idea on some of the things that went wrong so far and on how the situation might improve, as he explained in part of an interview on the Japanese website 4Gamer.

In a wide-ranging interview with Japanese publication 4Gamer, Shigeru Miyamoto discussed the Wii U’s struggles, delayed games, and more. An official English translation isn’t available, but DualShockers has translated a few bits.

First, here’s what Miyamoto said about the Wii U’s slow start:
