Koizumi has said he has another project to announce. They'll (Either Tokyo 1 or 2) will be on Flipnote 3DS and they also did that Japan-Only Mario AR app.
See, I get this. I don't necessarily agree that I want a game with story - I'm just not interested in gaming's piss-poor attempts at narrative, but at least this is a sensible argument. Most of the time, you see people who seem convinced that if, say, Mario Galaxy was the exact same game but with every character replaced with some new one, and thus a new IP, it would automatically be the best game ever, and I can't get my head around it at all.
I'd like something more casual and family fun like Wii U Photography or something. Personally, I'd really dig a painter game, like a Mario Paint reboot with all of the bells and whistles of modern tech and the gamepad
Besides Art Academy coming next year ?
Yeah, Art Academy is the new Mario Paint; sure, it doesn't have Mario but it's a lot more advanced.

new sport = new franchise

yes, I know. and there are also other internal team workin on "something" that they still have to announce.
your note, to me, just underline and reinforce my previous statement, I think: N should exploit those teams on smaller budget games that could fit well into the "gamers" (and Wii u actual owners are obviously gamers..) tastes, imho
I'd really like a new BW for example, with online and strong gamepad features, and I think that would take shorter time to be developed compared to the huge SSBU

No I don't. If Nintendo wants to appeal to both casual and more "hardcore" gamers, they need games for that. They may have created titles that were immensely popular for the new audience on the wii. However they need something that's popular with the gamers aswell. Something that can stand beside Mario and Zelda. Something that sells well and can attract the traditional gaming audience.

I think as time has gone on, Miyamoto has been less and less hands-on, even with games he's usually attributed as 'creating'. Even with the original Pikmin, he only has a producer credit, with the direction and design being attributed to multiple other people. Of course, we know that he has veto powers over anything being developed within Nintendo, and will demand features be added or removed as he sees fit, but I wonder if he's more of an 'ideas guy' these days. As in he describes what he wants in the game at a relatively high level, and passes it on to other designers who come up with an implementation and fill in some of the blanks.

Wasn;t there some Mermaid Rumor floating about?
anyway, I hope it's something cool and not a minigame collection, fitness or music stuff.
i don't hate them as much as other but another Pikmin level type game woul;d be cool..I'm not asking for a Zelda or Mario level game even.
whatever it is...it should be fun.
but no seriously Nintendo needs more games, new IPs, Old IPs, Milked IPs..whatever..just give people enough reasons to buy your shit like you did with the 3DS.

Galaxy is a gameplay driven game, and they took it out of the normal Mario Lore... It would've been different with another protagonist, but it would've started slowly while the back story was set.
Can you point out any Mario sport game designed by Miyamoto?

I don't know. Will Mario Kart and Smash Bros be relevant?
Kart and Smash can drag the thing to gamecube level.
So no
I had tons of fun with the Cube.

While the humor in M&L is stronger than Paper Mario, a lot of it has to also do with the expressive sprites that the series boasts. Actually, I would say because the sprites are so expressive and well-animated, that the humor works. If it was Paper Mario or any other RPG it probably wouldn't be able to pull it off nearly as well.

this obviously is the game Cliffy B. was talking about that would need to sell 10mil to break even
Kart and Smash can drag the thing to gamecube level.
So no
At least the Gamecube had decent third party support.
Was going to mention this. I'm keeping my expectations to a minimum.

I do hope it'll be some big title, not a small eshop game
My thoughts too.

I hope it doesn't heavily rely on the gamepad screen.

I expect this new IP to be on "Steel Diver" levels of meh.
I wouldn't mind that.
I hope it does. I want to see more creative uses of it.

Sure but the 3DS was half the price which makes it a lot eaasier. Wiiu needs to be 249.Anyways i hope this is a real new ip and not something like mario kart

I dont see why people attribute any of these games to him. He was not the director or did any development work on wii music or steel diver. Miyamoto hasn't directed for a long time

Hm... he *did* make Steel Diver... And is still keeping it alive...
It's funny because we'll only believe it when we see it? Isn't that just good critical thinking?
The man also made Pikmin. Best RTS ever made.
