Shigeru Miyamoto's been talking to Pocket-lint about what the year ahead holds for Nintendo.
2011 sees Miyamoto's latest creation, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword near-completion, with development currently at the half-way mark, according to the developer.
"What we are focused on is creating gameplay mechanics so the gameplay experience feels very dense," he explains. "In fact, the overall experience is going to feel more dense. We hope that people will want to go back and replay the game once they finish it".
Speaking of Microsoft and Sony's move into the motion control territory, Miyamoto-san seems untroubled, explaining the Wii is strong enough still to combat competitors and has one key difference - it focuses on the games, rather than the trend.
"I don't think the Wii is something that people need to graduate from," he replies when asked about consumers shifting from Wii to the bigger consoles.
"Of course, I am happy that motion is fashionable now. But when we make games, we are not trying to produce trendy products. It needs to be an experience that's meaningful, and the motion control needs to add something. So our new Zelda game takes motion control and adds something to the game to make you feel like you're part of the adventure.
"I think our rivals need to find what it is they have to offer that's new".
