Probably worth remembering Miyamoto does not consider "new franchise" to equate to "new characters".

Exactly. Luigi's Mansion was probably seen as a new franchise on GC.

 

[QaaQer]

so, what are the odds that the first gaf thread about this secret project post reveal will have 'fucking' in the title?

 

[dark_prinny]

What hobby has he been doing lately?

He collects spores, molds, and fungus.

 

[DragonSworne]

Does new franchise mean new IP or does it mean Zelda kart racing?

 

[Wolfie5]

Wii Plant U




Yes, my expectation is that low.

 

[Sendou]

100%

I'm not sure there's anything Miyamoto can come up with that will satisfy the early rage GAF.

 

[Scrawnton]

Doesn't matter. Games get me excited, especially new concepts. And causal games can appeal to 'core' gamers as well.

Remember when they teased a new IP from him and we were all excited? Yeah it was Wii Fit and Wii music...

 

[Bisnic]

Hopefully not something like "Wii U Something Something". Or Nintendo Birds, or some casual crap. It would be nice to have something as cool as Zelda.

 

[GrotesqueBeauty]

He collects spores, molds, and fungus.

Athlete's Foot U will undoubtedly be the game to finally turn hardware sales around for Wii U, especially bundled with the new toe cheese sensor.

 

[morikaze]

Will Waluigi's Taco Stand finally become a reality?

"Miyamoto reveals new IP: Its Fucking Wii U Dance...."

 

[Volotaire]

Remember when they teased a new IP from him and we were all excited? Yeah it was Wii Fit and Wii music...

New concepts that were financially interesting and curious to the games industry as well as to the wider games audience as well. What's wrong with that?

Moreover, the first time Wii music was unveiled, it was a pretty interesting title. (E3 2006)

Oh and Wii fit was certainly an interesting concept.

 

[Kater]

Good news.
I will be buying a Wii U so I'm eager to hear more of this mysterious new IP.

 

[anotherVegan]

If only we could read Shiggy's mind.

 

[JDSN]

Oh great, Dixie Kong Returns.

 

[KennyLinder]

Nintendonkey

 

[Effect]

Does new franchise mean new IP or does it mean Zelda kart racing?

Something closer to the later. Like how there are Mario platformers, Paper Mario, and Mario Kart.

"Miyamoto reveals new IP: Its Fucking Wii U Dance...."

This is why I can't and won't get excited by this news. It could very easily go in this direction.

 

[NotLiquid]

No word if it's Wii U or 3DS though.

 

[Deku Tree]

Something in the vein of Nintendogs perhaps.

I agree Wii Music looked interesting, then it turned out only being an interactive toy with not challenge or anything to make it an interesting video game. A Wii Music with a song editor like in mario paint wouldve made it at least acceptable.

 

[Bill Rizer]

WiiU should have released this year. Period.

Late August/September without the crappy 3rd party conversions, but with also Pikmin 3 from the start and a 50$ lower price point (unique sku).
And following, the robust lineup that's actually coming now.
Could have been a fantastic package from the beginning.

They really must try hard now to reverse the bad reputation WiiU earned now.

 

[Glass Rebel]

Hope it's "new" like Pikmin was and not like Wii Fit/Music.

 

[sublimit]

A new IP? Wow Nintendo is pulling out all the stops!

 

[Snowden's Secret]

Its bizarre how this interview just sort of... invalidates all the E3 ones he gave. Especially the "about time" bit. Just couldn't admit some gaijin rabblerousers were spot on with their criticisms of Nintendo's E3 showing but more comfortable with a japanese interview?

Or that. Ugh.

The "about time" links to what Iwata said about E3 about getting all of the games people know are coming (Smash Bros, Mario Kart, Mario) and that the unexpected announcements would follow.

There's literally nothing contradictory about these statements at all.

 

[Scrawnton]

No word if it's Wii U or 3DS though.

I think the fact that he mentions Mario Kart 8 as the last title to roll out (that they have announced and dated) means this will be a new IP on Wii U.

 

[spekkeh]

I wonder what's his current favorite hobby.

Nordic walking maybe?

Fuck yeah Wii Nordic Walk U

 

[Hero of Legend]

Dun

DUN

DUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

 

[AzaK]

Well I'll obviously wait and see but I have zero faith it will be anything I'm interested in. It will be either small and casual or very mainstream.

 

[Nibel]

Everything awesome that Nintendo does is slated for 2014

Man, really hope for a "new IP" alá Pikmin and not Wii _____

 

[Brawly Likes to Brawl]

so, what are the odds that the first gaf thread about this secret project post reveal will have 'fucking' in the title?

"Miyamoto's New Project is a Fucking Mushroom Kingdom Dating Sim"

 

[Various Artists]

I just know its going to be like Wii Office Simulator.

 

[Little Old Man]

Mariozone
Unmario
Gears of Mario
Inmario
Mariofall

Hmm, which one will it be?

 

[dragonflys545]

Finally... Took them long enough. I'm ready to hear more about it.

 

[Scum]

Excellent!

Oiram

 

[kittens]

Sweet.

 

[Oersted]

A new and original game from Miyamoto was first revealed in January 2012, when the Associated Press reported that the designer was at work on an "undisclosed original title."

It was revealed? Huh?

"Miyamoto reveals new IP: Its Fucking Wii U Dance...."

They already got Sing Party which includes dancing. Would be fucking pointless.

 

[BLACK AMERICAN PSYCHO]

Miyamoto: "I could make Halo"

:lol

 

[elektrixx]

New Super Metroid.

 

[Volotaire]

I agree Wii Music looked interesting, then it turned out only being an interactive toy with not challenge or anything to make it an interesting video game. A Wii Music with a song editor like in mario paint wouldve made it at least acceptable.

Yes, and hopefully we will see a new intriguing concept .That's why it's interesting. Execution is for another day.

 

[Visualante2]

Wonder if he has played Minecraft.

 

[Estocolmo]

A new fitness game?

 

[Scum]

Probably worth remembering Miyamoto does not consider "new franchise" to equate to "new characters".

Bah. Cheers, Eat. ;_;

 

[Hero of Legend]

It was revealed? Huh?

First hinted I would assume, obviously it's not announced... we'd know it and he just said it's still a secret.

 

[aparisi2274]

I sure hope his new passion isn't doing laundry or something, or else we'll get a new game where we spend the entire time in a washing machine... maybe with bonus dryer levels...

Seriously though, I hope it is really something epic, along the lines of Zelda.

 

[Square Triangle]

What sport hasn't Mario touched yet?

 

[wsippel]

That's Steel Diver.

And it's supposedly coming this year.

 

[gcubed]

it would be smart to put this on their one successful console

 

[Allan Holdsworth]

As long as Waluigi gets a new game, I'm excited ;P

Skip really needs to make a Waluigi game.

 

[AzaK]

Didn't he say, around the time of those retirement rumours, he wanted to do small projects?

 

[tzare]

Probably worth remembering Miyamoto does not consider "new franchise" to equate to "new characters".

I think the same, hope is not the case and just another game featuring Mario&friends
