Over the weekend an interview with a Latin American gaming magazine with Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto and Regie Fils-Aime discusses Zelda and Pikmin.
A translation has filtered onto the Internet, with high hopes for Nintendo fans seeking some meat in their Wii offerings.
Shigeru Miyamoto, creator of many of Nintendo's top franchises, spoke of his positive outlook for the next chapter in the Zelda series. He feels that the untitled project will be special, unlike Twilight Princess, given it's ground-up nature for the Wii. He'd previously revealed that the team aim to rejuvenate the stale formula with a different approach to control and gameplay.
A third Pikmin game was reconfirmed for Nintendo Wii, and Miyamoto was again positive with how the game was coming along, with Wii remote control supposedly working well.
Finally, the magazine finally tried to squeeze information from the legendary designer as to whether new games in the Mario or Metroid worlds would be produced in the classic 2D style, à la Wario Land or Mega Man 9. Unfortunately Miyamoto replied with the standard "I can't say anything" brush off.
Nintendo president Reggie Fils-Aime also discussed hard-drive and storage solutions for Wii.

I hope this different approach doesn't mean on-rails shooting or something stupid.

I'm hopefully for a decent new Zelda, I'm sure Nintendo know that TP wasn't really all that. Good game at the time, but in retrospect got a bit lost and was an anticlimax in the end really.

Right on there J-Bizz.
It needs to be a thoroughly new approach. It's encouraging they're saying this and I trust Minimoto to get it right. Unless he's doing a Wii Music/Zelda spin-off where Link must master the Orchestra of the Sages to conduct the Symphony of Light in a recital of The Nocturne of Temporal Darkness to transport his unborn fetus 4000 years into the future where Hyrule has become an intergalactic funk-brothel ruled by resident Pimp-Daddy, Frod Nonnag.
Maybe they could introduce some sort of flying mechanic. Zelda hasn't done that yet. Kid Icarus'll turn up and teach Link the basics. Maybe he'll lend him some wings.
Less posty, more gamey.

Twilight Princess was very very special already.
I dont get this hatred of the game.
Longer, more interesting,much less repedative and more interesting items then TWW,and Midna! Midna kicks arse but most people prefer TWW...crazy. I put it down to the style. Once people got over the shock, I think cell-shadeing was prefered even though gameplay was grossly inferiour and the game was clearly rushed out.
I look forward to more Zelda, and more *different* Zelda, but I hope to god all this media preasure isnt making him rush
The core exploration/puzzle structure of the game should be kept no mater what. That IS Zelda.
The dungeon structure should be dumped though, and puzzles should be more like Zack & Wiki ones.

Also, why on earth ask for 2D games :?
Look, theres many fantasic 2D games out there, and certainly some work better 2D (Sonic).
But Mario and Metroid have proved themselfs to work in 3D. Galaxy and Corruption were two of the finest games ever made.
If you really want a 2D bit in a 3D game you can do it (and they have done). So I dont see any point of making a 2D game from those franchise\'s.
Give us eppisodic DD Mario Galaxy levels.
Give us a new Metroid Hunters on the DS.(same wonderfull controlls, but more puzzles/exploration and better boss\'s please!).
And let Retro take a break from metroid and work on something new
oh, and if we must have a rushed out Zelda to please people, lets have a new Four Swords eh?

Icarus would be too busy slitting his wrists.
Once Link grows a beard he could certainly lend him a a razor though.
Conducted with market research firm NPD, the study surveyed 2,611 gamers and determined that lines between casual and hardcore are blurry at best, and gamer demographics are broader than conventional thinking has held. As Big Fish chief strategy officer (CSO) Paul Thelen stated during a Casual Connect keynote, the traditional casual approach of "'one size fits all' doesn't work."

TP was a good game, just a bit stale. Its good they know its biggest flaw, its sticks to closely to the formula.

Pit would be too down in the dumps with his whole emo curse thing to be flying high.
Also the Wii can't do them technix!!
Twilight Princess was incredible and anything but "average or lower". Decent Zelda game = world implodes. It's either really good or it doesn't exist.
So you can understand why I'm worried about the Wii Zelda. it might end up like Dragon Quest Swords or something...
And Link will probably be right handed, which means I will boycott it, until launch date. After that I'll just rant LOADS AND LOADS about it.

LOZ: TP was ment for the Game Cube. Don't you remember the game being pushed back
I think thats where some of the hate started, since it wasn't built from the ground up on Wii. And playing just wasn't as special as expected to be; especially if the 1st Zelda you played was OoT. Every thing only felt new in the visual aspect.

I enjoyed playing Z:TP, however do realize it was just another Zelda. It is still better than about 95% of the games released on the Wii though. I do agree that the next one needs some major changes to keep it fresh. That is the same way I feel about the next smash brothers.
I'll make it look like HE did it!

I think the major thing Zelda needs is writers.
Zelda has had some decent and funny characters and scripts, but in recent games it's gotten a bit standard and stale in recent games. To the point where you're tapping A a lot more frequently to skip through.
I think they really need to get someone outside, a team of decent writers and thinkers, to rehash the franchise. Have it more character driven, and less predictable. Temples should be there, but less obvious that they are "dungeons", shorter event-driven quests and more dynamic and interesting characters.
