Not surprisingly, it looks as if one of the huge Nintendo announcements at this year’s E3 will be that of a new Zelda title. It has been long rumored, and actually, almost taken for granted that it’s the case. In an interview with Shigeru Miyamoto, Jeremy Parish was able to wring out a bit of info from the iconic developer. The interview dealt mostly with the effect casual games like WiiFit will have on the industry. The interviewer stated that casual games seemed to mark the death knell for core gamers, but Miyamoto disagreed. In his rebuttal he stated that: “I think we’d gotten to a point where videogames were something that everyone could no longer enjoy. As a designer, I’m always focusing on what is fun — ideas that people can enjoy. For me, I’m trying to entertain as many people as I can, creating games that the widest number of people can enjoy.” “Of course, that being said, we do have the existing teams at Nintendo working on the kinds of products we’ve always made over the years. The Zelda team is forming again to work on new games! But to me, it’s about finding these new interactive experiences and bringing them to people.” What does this mean? Not only is a new Zelda likely, but the use of the word “games” (plural) is telling. We will bring you more on this once the hints turn into facts this July. |
