Nintendo has an abundance of well-known, well-respected game franchises, but some of you just aren't happy - you wish Nintendo would do something new and innovative. Well, maybe your time has finally come...
In the latest issue of Famitsu, Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto spoke about a "new franchise", but unfortunately, he couldn't say very much on the subject. Here's what was said, though:
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.
So, what do you guys think? After all, you're the reason the games industry exists at all - does Nintendo need a new franchise?
Oh, and since Famitsu mentioned Pikmin 3, here's a recent video
