Nintendo may not be hosting one large conference at E3 this year, but they still have a few things they’ll be showing off during the event. Nintendo World Report has stated Reggie Fils-Aime and Shigeru Miyamoto will be hosting a pre-E3 presentation on Tuesday, June 4th. NWR added,

After the presentation is concluded, the press members will be able to try the new software before everybody else. It is unsure at the time of writing if the presentation will be viewable for the public as well.

Hopefully we’ll get to see some awesome new games from Nintendo during their pre-presentation.

This is so COOL!

Earlier I posted about the Rolling Stone interview of Shigeru Miyamoto.

One of the things said by Miyamoto was in regards to Pikmin 3:

With Pikmin 3, you’ll have the ability to have three different captains or leaders of Pikmin groups and you can switch between them. So it sort of allows you to approach the game from a much more strategic position. The volume of work that you can get done within the timeframe has increased dramatically. And so that in and of itself really enhances the depth of strategy that’s available to you in that game.

The first Pikmin game, known as Pikmin (who’d guess), featured a single playable captain at a time, the second game, Pikmin 2, featured two playable captains at a time, and now Pikmin 3 will have three playable captains at a time. Perhaps Pikmin 4 will feature four playable captains at a time. This isn’t saying there won’t be four captains, but apparently only thee can be used at a time in-game.

How do you think having three playable captains at a time will effect gameplay?

In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, gaming icon, Shigeru Miyamoto, shares his thoughts and insights on basically everything Nintendo. The article is quite a read, so I recommend checking Rolling Stone for the entire thing.

We do have a few cuts of the article after the break, however:

Just about everybody in the gaming world respects this guy.

In a recent interview with CNN, Miyamoto has given us some insight on his thoughts on the Wii U, its current position in 2013, and where he believes it will go from here.

You can read more about the interview after the break.

In a recent interview, Shigeru Miyamoto has expressed down in regards to the future of F-Zero. He feels “there [is] not much room left for evolution of F-Zero”, and posed a question to fans of the series: “What do you want that we haven’t done before?” Feel free to leave your ideas in the comments below!

When questioned about his thoughts on Metroid for the Wii U, Shigeru Miyamoto responded with:

…the kind of ideas I have on Metroid are already reflected in the mini-game that is devoted to the series in Nintendo Land, Metroid Blast.

That doesn’t mean we should expect the next Metroid to be a casual title though. I’m assuming the ideas he’s referring to in Metroid Blast are subtler than the fact that it’s perfect for parties. He’s also not the direct creator of the main Metroid titles, so this probably won’t offer much impact to any future iterations on the Wii U.

Dylan Cuthbert, who has worked with Nintendo on most of the Star Fox games, has described Shigeru Miyamoto as “a slightly more friendly Steve Jobs”. Or, if you want the full quote:

His style of chasing ideas and cutting through bulls***||| is brilliant. Internally he’s kind of like a slightly more friendly Steve Jobs, but just as cutting.

When asked about Star Fox on the Wii U, Cuthbert said that “the ball’s in Nintendo’s court” and that “those questions are best geared towards Miyamoto”. If only he would answer them.
