Nintendo’s very own Shigeru Miyamoto talks about Nintendo’s future plans, including the new IP that he has been working on.  In a translation, by Kotaku‘s Toshi Nakamura, of the latest issue of Famitsu, Miyamoto talks about introducing new games next year after a ‘general selection’ of Nintendo titles have been released for the Wii U.

Famitsu: So, starting with Pikmin 3, you’ve got a lot of new Wii U titles planned up until the holiday season.

Miyamoto: With the recent version upgrade [of the Wii U], we’ve worked on the system side of things and we’re planning on further system tweaks ahead, but even as is, [the Wii U] has become a useful item for the living room. However, it’s pointless to talk about other features, no matter how fulfilling, without releasing games of our own, so we hope you’ll look forward to the games to come. Next Spring, with the release of Mario Kart 8, we’ll have a general selection available, so I’ve been thinking it would be a good time to bring out a new franchise.

Famitsu: A new franchise! An all-new title that you would be working on?

Miyamoto: I can’t say too much in detail right now, but I’ve been pretty busy with this title these days.
