legend Shigeru Miyamoto speaks very interesting things on Japanese
radio about Mario 128 and Twilight Princess, plus also hints
mysteriously about Zelda Revolution...
Why wait so long to release a new installment of Mario? The wait is frustrating players everywhere...
Mario is and always has been a concept title
from his birth. We are always looking for new ways of playing with him,
manipulating him, to create something new and unique. We're in the
midst of preparing something special for his future, something never
before seen. You'll understand when you see it that we can't quite
release it right away. The new Mario game will surprise many people.
Give us the benefit of the doubt. I think we'll present you with a new
way to have fun. There's even a new character by his side.
Mario 128 will be released for Revolution then?
Yes, of course! It's no surprise, but of course
we will rename it, obviously. That won't be the only surprise of next
year though. We based the Revolution around this new type of game.
Mario 128 played a large role in the Revolution's conception, much like
Mario 64 in it's time. But we won't just be focusing on Mario. We're
working on some very impressive games which push interactivity to the
max. Games of a new era.
The new Zelda, it's not really good news that...
Please allow me to interrupt you by saying that you will have to be patient, really. This will be, without a doubt, the last Zelda game as you know it in its present form. I worked on it personally, moreso than Wind Waker!
I haven't invested as much into any game as I have this one. Our goal
was to make the best Zelda game ever. The most rich/satisfying and
melancholy. We've really improved it in just a few months. Everything's
coming together much quicker. We may have some last minute ideas...
You're going to move it to Revolution?
No, it is a Gamecube title.
In any case, you want to preserve the air of mystery around Nintendo?
We will be revealing many details soon. It's
true, we do like surprises (laughs). While our gamers are sleeping,
we're busy thinking up new ideas. But while they're playing - we're
playing as well.
So what is this special "never before seen" thing in
Mario 128? And who's the new character by his side? How will Twilight
Princess be the last Zelda game as we know it? Has this game really
seen more of Miyamoto's magic than any other? Nintendo's air of mystery
continues, though for how much longer until all is revealed..?
