Kotaku recently had a chance to chat with Mr. Miyamoto, but it’s extremely interesting on what the gaming legend said. He said that perhaps people on the internet can participate in a poll or survey of some sort to suggest a game for the Wii U, and Miyamoto said if it’s a good answer, he’d consider it! And while no doubt they’d get a lot of “New Mother” and “New Metroid” suggestions, we can’t help but wonder what one’s genius suggestion could be.
Shigeru Miyamoto: So certainly, for Kotaku readers, they know there are a lot of different hardware platforms, and I hope that they look at those as necessarily a competition between all the platforms but really that each platform has its own uniqueness.
One of the uniquenesses of Wii U [is that] this is a device that’s really suited to being connected to the TV in your living room, and it has a lot of very convenient applications that you can use there. We’re going to continue to design our games in a way that are suited to play in the living room—whether it’s one person playing and everyone enjoying that by watching—but we’re also working on a number of additional games that we’re designing and releasing next year as well.
We hope that everybody is looking forward to that and that we’re designing experiences that you can only do on the Wii U GamePad so I hope everyone will support us and look forward to our products.
Maybe you can do a poll for Kotaku readers to see which game you want us to make for Wii U, and, if you get a good answer, you can give us a call.
