Miyamoto says there is secret software he can’t discuss, difficult to think of themes

Shigeru Miyamoto is an extremely influential figure over at Nintendo headquarters, so it isn’t surprising that people listen in on what the man has to say. Most recently, Miyamoto was asked if Wii Music is the last game in the Wii-line of titles. He responded by noting, “Yes, it is true that the existing Wii games, including Wii Music, were on the top priority list, but there is some other software, of course, but I cannot talk about it!”

Miyamoto also responded to the challenge of coming up with universal themes (following sports, music, fitness)…

“Well, yes, it is challenging to find something universal but, after all, that’s my job as I see it. Until the time that I am in a position to tell you the next subject, we can only confirm that we are working on the next Mario and the next Zelda, etc. In terms of new games, we need to stand with the potential customer’s viewpoint. Of course, we have new ideas in mind all the time, but the challenging part is whether they will really be widely appreciated by users.”
