Head past the break to see all of Miyamoto’s comments about console power, Nintendo’s switch to HD, and changes made to the Wii U (the hardware hasn’t changed over the past year, but obviously the GamePad has).

Yerli said:

It was rather odd seeing a lack of Japanese Wii U games at E3 2012. That doesn’t mean that Japanese developers aren’t interested in the system, however.

Famitsu interviewed a number of high-profile creators in its latest issue, including Yoshinori Ono, Suda 51 (who had promised No More Heroes 3 for Nintendo’s new console a few years ago!), Keiji Inafune, Akihiro Hino, and more. Head past the break to see what they had to say about the system.
