Shigeru Miyamoto might be the most prolific game developer of our time. Â The franchises he touches for Nintendo often turn to gold, he’s the man behUind Mario and its numerous incarnations, as well as other popular mainstay franchises for the company. Â In a recent Famitsu interview where Miyamoto was discussing the new Super Mario 3D for the Wii U, the conversation turned to new franchises. Â The developer teased that Nintendo has something up their sleeve.
“Of course, these sorts of updates mean nothing if we don’t put out games for it, and I hope people are looking forward to the games coming up. We’ll have Mario Kart 8 out next spring, and at that point we’ll have the whole lineup in place, so I think it’s about time we brought out a new franchise. I can’t give out details, but that’s the title that’s been keeping me pretty busy lately.”
What could this brand new franchise be that’s keeping Shigeru Miyamoto so busy as of late? Â We’ll have to keep our ears pointed in the direction of Nintendo for the next few months to find out. Â Since this interview was from Famitsu, it could be aimed at the Japanese market specifically. Â So, with Tokyo Game Show coming up later this year, Nintendo will have prime spot to reveal any new details that they have about this mystery game.
