In an interview with the Associated Press, legendary game designer Shigeru Miyamoto talked about the Nintendo’s future hardware plans. Miyamoto did say that the Wii U is the focus for the time being, with Star Fox and The Legend of Zelda both releasing next year. He also wants Mario to be the man to lead Nintendo forward.
“…For the time being, our focus is on the Wii U hardware, but Nintendo as a whole has groups working on ideas for new hardware systems. While we’re busy working on software for the Wii U, we have production lines that are working on ideas for what the next system might be.”
“From early on, I wanted Mario to be that character in the digital world, so that with each digital evolution, he was there to usher in the next era. I think that maybe when we release the next hardware system, you can look forward to seeing Mario take on a new role or in a new game.”
