IGN recently conducted an interview with Shigeru Miyamoto about all the games Nintendo didn’t talk about at their press conference on Tuesday:

“The core members of the Zelda team have for a very long time now been focused on Zelda games, and continue to focus on Zelda games, so they are hard at work and working away,” Miyamoto said. “And then, of course, we have the DS Zelda team as well, so even there we’re having some switching of people in and out where the DS team is mixing in with the Wii team and working on the Wii version.”

“[ Will there be a fundamental change to the new Wii Zelda? ] I don’t necessarily think it will change that drastically, but I think that Zelda is a franchise that does need some big new unique ideas.”

“[ Is a Pikmin sequel coming? Well… ] The Pikmin team is, of course, still there and maybe we’ll have something to talk about before too long.

“[ With regards to a New Super Mario Bros. sequel ] I have a lot of different teams and those teams are all at different points in their experiments or development, so it’s typically once they’ve finalised something that we’re able to talk about it. But for me to go into too much detail would be a little bit irresponsible in an interview. All that I can say is that that team is also working.

“Maybe the best thing for you to understand is that all of the leaders of those teams — of the Mario team, of the Zelda team and of the Pikmin team — all sit within 150 feet of my desk. The Galaxy team is the only one that’s farther away — they’re in Tokyo. But I do have video conferencing with them.”

I’m excited to hear confirmation of all these new franchises in development, but would it have been so hard to release a teaser trailer for these at E3???
