To make that title less than 500 words, I had to make it a bit more vague than I had wanted. But I highly suggest reading the interview that Game Informer conducted with Shigeru Miyamoto below, since there’s a significant amount of information. Miyamoto discusses topics including the Wii U, why the time is right for Zelda concerts and Four Swords on DSiWare, some initial concerns about Skyward Sword and how it’s a “very open world”, and a whole lot more.

The other two characters in the shot above are shown wearing Link’s tunic, albeit in different colors. It’s a bit hard to make out since the image appears briefly in an off-screen video, but you can clearly make out the hats. Nintendo hasn’t said anything about this yet, so it makes you wonder why the other characters are wearing the tunics. It could turn out to be an important story element…

Jimmy Fallon’s “Video Game Week” is concluding tonight with a look at The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. Like last year, Reggie Fils-Aime will be on air to show a few minutes of footage. We’ll likely see just a snippet of the E3 demo, but it’s always fun seeing Reggie in action. The show kicks off at 12:30 AM EDT.

Is it just me, or is that snail’s voice incredibly annoying? Anyway, you might be interested to know that this game was originally released on the iPhone… and apparently it’s not too bad. You might want to give it a shot if the video above interests you.

This information comes from Shigeru Miyamoto…

“Based on my background as an industrial designer and Nintendo and my background in creating entertainment, I’ve always wanted to make greater use of color in our hardware. If you look back on things like the Famicom and the original Super Nintendo, they were a lot more colorful from a hardware perspective. What we found over the years when we included a lot of different colors in our hardware is people would kind of point to that and use it to paint us as more kid-oriented. So really what we looked at is what are some ways from a design perspective that can make the system appeal to all ages. One of the ways that we found to best do that is to minimize the use of color. In that process we asked if we’re going to do that, what’s the best way to go? We found that rather than going all black – all white seems to have a broader appeal to people.”

Maybe it’s just me, but I really don’t care about the color of home consoles. I’m fine with black or white… I don’t think I’d be interested in anything other than that. The color of my handhelds are a bit more important, but in recent years I’ve still gone either black or white, depending on what’s available.
