Thanks to Matt for the tip!

The latest issue of Famitsu contains an interview with Shigeru Miyamoto, who talked all things Skyward Sword with the magazine. Miyamoto discussed the game’s lengthy development process among other topics.

Interestingly, Miyamoto said that he had hoped to limit the development time for about three years. Although it took five years, he feels that the team was, in some ways, able to meet his goal. That’s because roughly two years were spent experimenting, while the other three were used for concrete development.

Miyamoto’s full responses can be found after the break.

Shin’en definitely knows how to push Nintendo hardware. Nano Assault is one of the better-looking 3DS titles.

Can this hastily created platformer live up to the hype, or will it fail in the wake of Super Mario 3D Land’s release?

If you’re at all like me, you’ve probably been looking forward to Super Tanooki Skin 2D for a long time. After all, since its initial announcement nearly 48 hours ago, the information we’ve gathered, screens we’ve seen, and videos that were posted online were nothing short of astonishing, and when I finally got my hands on a review copy this afternoon, I was ecstatic to say the most. We most certainly don’t get enough 2D platformers in this day and age, and with Maximillion and the Rise of the Mutant Mudds getting delayed until early 2012, we all need a little something to tide us over. With a little luck, that something would be Super Tanooki Skin 2D.

Clearly something in the heavens doesn’t want us to have a little luck.
