Previously announced as a 3DS exclusive, it will now be heading to the PSP, too. The 3DS version will offer Famicom’s SD Hero Soukessen as download content.

Shigeru Miyamoto does indeed have an original game in the works. The thing is, he’s been so preoccupied with different roles that it’s been taking awhile to create the design document.

Miyamoto told Joystiq:

“One thing I want to clear up, people like to ask me if I want to do a small project with a small team. I do like working with a small team, and I’m working with a number of small teams on a lot of different ideas, but the problem is because of all these different roles that I have to fulfill, it takes me a long time to write the design document.”

Miyamoto added that the design work has been taking longer than usual due to the nature of working with smaller teams, so “maybe this time next year I’ll have something ready to show you that perhaps will illustrate that idea.”

He’s currently busy with the project’s design documents, even working on them at E3 2012.

According to Miyamoto:

“I have some storyboards that I have to draw before I finish this trip. It’s fun. I use Flipnote Studio to draw my storyboards.”
