In the latest edition of Nintendo Power, Nintendo big man Shigeru Miyamoto himself answered the question on whether or not Zelda will to stick to the formula or veer off into an entirely new path. Just how different will Zelda Wii be from the earlier iterations of the franchise?

When I hear the words "demo play", the first thing I think about are those old demos that used to kick in when you left a game in the "Press Start" screen for too long. Nintendo is taking the demo play idea to a whole new level, however. In an interview with USA Today, Shigeru Miyamoto revealed that they're adding an optional feature -- called "demo play" -- that will make the Wii even more accessible by making games play themselves.

It wasn't part of Nintendo's E3 presentation, but Shigeru Miyamoto did announce a new Zelda game for the Wii during the event. A lot has been said about this new Zelda game, but most of them have been speculation based on the concept art Miyamoto showed at E3. Well, we can now get in on all the speculating since the image has been released. Check it out after the jump.

I was wondering where Shigeru Miyamoto was during Nintendo's E3 presentation yesterday. Turns out he was just hiding, biding his time until he could reveal one of the two things I was looking for from Nintendo: a new Zelda for Wii.

Pikmin game coming soon? Let's do the time warp for a bit and recall Shigeru Miyamoto's words back at E3 2008. "We're making Pikmin" is all that he said pertaining to the much-requested sequel to the GameCube original franchise. Now here comes Edge Magazine with a full-page ad for their 203rd issue. The ad itself is just a shot of a patch of grass, but some eagle-eyed observers have noted that in the top-right hand corner, there's a little purple blob that resembles a Pikmin.

Like they say, once you're at the top, there's nowhere to go but down. In Shigeru Miyamoto's case, he went down quite a bit. After being at the top of Time 100 last year, the Nintendo gaming mastermind drops to #42 of Time Magazine's list of the 100 most influential people from various fields and industries. So who else made it to the list? Find out after the jump.

Analysts have a tendency to be wrong on occasion, but sometimes they're dead right. I hope this one's the right kind. Analyst Colin Sebastian expects Nintendo to release a new Zelda game by next year. You'd better be right Sebastian, or else your New Year's resolution should be not to get people's hopes up.

Eiji Aonuma, one of the legends behind the Zelda franchise, recently said that he will continue to work on the game series, alongside Shigeru Miyamoto, for a long time to come.

Talking on the next Wii console, Nintendo's main dude Shigeru Miyamoto refuses to confirm whether Wii 2 will go HD. He does, however, admit that technology is evolving and they are working with these changes. How coy.

Nintendo's been pretty quiet lately. Oh sure, they announced Pikmin, the DSi, and GameCube ports, but nothing really... new. Just more of the old stuff with a new layer of shine. Have Miyamoto and Iwata decided to take a break and swim in their money pool?

Naw, it's just the calm before the storm. According to Miyamoto, a lot of games for loyal Nintendo fans are in development. Click.
