October 30, 2009 by The News Team Filed Under: DS, Wii, Nintendo in general

A few more tidbits from the man himself, Shigeru Miyamoto...

- Miyamoto has a cat
- currently working on Zelda Wii
- also working on a "DS game to play at home"
- interested in how the DS works in public spaces
- believes that Pikmin would benefit from HD, but Wii Fit wouldn't
- not against HD

Thanks to Jonny_Boi for the heads up!

I like how you say Pikmin 3 is confirmed when it says "belives", thats an opinon, not a confirmation.

I only care about the working on Zelda Wii, but really who else would be =D

@dskartmasta

:) I thought it was 'should of' and 'minus well' when I was younger. There's a good chance on here with its international flava that english isn't your first language, but even if it is that's not a big deal.

It's 'should have' just to offer a helpful hand.

I would agree except on the WiiFit+/NSMBWii roundtable he did a week or so ago he said they would not be making Nintencats... :(

@DonnyDarko420

Cats ARE awesome! I have two brother kitties, and boy do they rule!

"Nintendo mentioned that the company was not against HD, and Miyamoto pointed out that a title like Wii Fit would not benefit greatly from HD, but the Nintendo creator added that a game like, say, Pikmin would." ~From Kotaku.

Note that they said "a game like, SAY, Pikmin".
So please, stop with Wii2HD and "lunch titles".

i hope that ds game involve four swords, or vs pacman or any kind of ds-wii connectivity . It's such a missed opportunity ... why don't any third party step in for that , it's easy enough.

glad hd doesn't only mean 720p or whatever.

More fuel to add to the fire (and growing evidence) we'll see a Wii HD soon (I'm guessing 2011).

@internet

Yes, Wii-DS connectivity is grossly under utilized. One game I'd like to see: "Secret Agent Mii". It would be a third person action-espionage game featuring your Mii wherein you use the wirelessly connected DS as a multi-purpose spy gadget for hacking, GPS, satellite imagery, communications device.

Nintencats confirmed, either that or the next new significant starfox character is a cat, other than Katt.

I didnt know that a zelda game was in the works for wii....................

"DS game to play at home" play on wii with ds maybe?

Pikmin in HD would look good, but thats kinda random.

He says Pikmin would benefit from being in HD because it's a game about atmosphere through it's detailed visuals.

It doesn't imply at all that Pikmin 3 isn't on Wii.
