If you’re one of the few consumers thinking about purchasing a Wii rather than a Wii U this holiday season, then you should be aware of an upcoming deal.

Sam’s Club will be offering a slight discount on the old console during Black Friday. The Wii will be available for just $89.99.

Not sure quite what it’s about, but Nintendo has told everyone that its 3DS eShop, the DSiWare Shop, and the Wii Shop Channel will be down for maintenance tomorrow, Tuesday, November 6th. Some people are saying that this could have something to do with the Wii U launch– perhaps some implementation of the “Nintendo Network ID” we’ve heard to much about– but I’m guessing that it’ll set some things up being the scenes that we’ll hear more about properly a week or two from now.

Don’t get too excited just yet!

We have a bunch of translated details from a recent Shigeru Miyamoto interview. Read on below for Miyamoto’s thoughts about F-Zero, a Metroid game on Wii U, and more. Be sure to check out this post for news concerning Link’s origins.

Miyamoto’s role with Wii U development

– Miyamoto is technically supposed to be responsible for software
– He always tends to have his say on development of hardware though
– As the hardware is developed together with new games, he’s been involved with development of the DS and Wii
– For Wii U, there was a very thin boundary between the controller and the software responsible for the hardware
– Miyamoto was among those who supported the idea of having a small screen in the controller
– After that it is pretty hard to tell who did what

Miyamoto on a Metroid game for Wii U

– A lot of Miyamoto’s Metroid ideas can be found in the Nintendo Land mini-game, Metroid Blast
– Miyamoto noted that the Wii U is an HD console with more power and prettier graphics
– Nintendo can naturally think about a nice Metroid action game in HD, but nothing is confirmed
– Miyamoto had a big smile of someone who won’t say more than this

Miyamoto on F-Zero

– Pleased to hear that fans are still interested in F-Zero since he feels the series hasn’t changed much since the first game
– Miyamoto thought people may start to become tired of the IP
– Miyamoto thanks the fans for their patience and advises to try playing the mini-game in Nintendo Land
– Miyamoto is curious to see what fans would like to see that they haven’t done before

Where Miyamoto hopes to be in ten years

– Miyamoto hopes he’ll still be alive
– He also hopes to be doing what he loves at Nintendo
– Thanks to some of the younger talented staff at Nintendo, he can let go of a few of his regular duties since their projects are in good hands
– Miyamoto wants to focus on the things that interest him, even if he continues to supervise a little
– He’s currently working hard to finish Pikmin 3
