This information comes from Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime…
“Making people smile is in our DNA. We are a company that’s all about entertainment.”
Reggie also said that when the team was planning this year’s Digital Event, lots of conversations were had with Shigeru Miyamoto due to his involvement with Star Fox Zero and Super Mario Maker.
“One of the things that he shared was that in his youth, he used to make puppets. So that led to a series of brainstorms and it lead to our little collaboration with Henson studios and creating the Nintendo muppets. It was a very fun collaboration.”
