GN Version 4.0
-Pikmin 3 has been in devolopment for 5 years
-Pikmin 3 on Wii U started 2 years ago
-Brought Pikmin 3 to Wii U because of processing power
-Wanted a title to show off the HD of the system
-On making Zelda for Wii U:

“What is the most important element of Zelda if we were to try to make a Zelda game that a lot of people can play?” So we have a number of different experiments going on, and [when] we decide that we’ve found the right one of those to really help bring Zelda to a very big audience, then we’ll be happy to announce it."


-Miyamoto says there were some people who got tired or didn't like the motion controls for Skyward Sword
-They are looking back at what worked and to improve what didn't
-Miyamoto has been watching a lot of Japanese television (We know his hobbies often influence his games)
-He likes the idea of a artist drawing a manga of what he wants, then seeing it come to television of movies
-He plays guitar to get away from working on games
-He will record a bit of music he likes with his 3DS, will slow it down to figure out how they did it


Thanks to Wiired for the heads up!
