Miyamoto Talks Zelda Wii, Motion Controls, Mario
PM: The Wii uses a motion-sensing controller. Going forward, as Nintendo releases future consoles, do you view the motion-sensing controller as an integral part of the experience that’s going to stay with Nintendo indefinitely?
SM: With both the Wii remote itself and Wii Motion Plus, what we’ve been able to do is introduce an interface that is both I think appealing and at the right price for a broad audience. And while we don’t have any concrete plans for what we’ll be doing with hardware in the future, what I can say is that, my guess is that because we found this interface to be so interesting, I think it would be likely that we would try to make that same functionality perhaps more compact and perhaps even more cost-efficient.
PM: What’s your dream type of game that takes advantage of the Wii-mote?
SM: Right now I’m focusing on creating the next Zelda game.
