E3 2008: Miyamoto Alludes to New Super Mario Bros., Pikmin Games
July 15, 2008 | 9:49 PM PST

Continuing to grill Mr. Miyamoto like a Whopper at every opportunity (hey, just wait until we catch up to him), IGN managed to snag a couple of tantalizing tidbits about possible upcoming titles in development, particularly those related to Pikmin and Mario.

"There isn't anything that we can announce right now, but I'm sure we'll probably do something with it," said Miyamoto of a Pikmin sequel for Wii. "The Pikmin team is, of course, still there and maybe we'll have something to talk about before too long." Cha-ching.

As for Mario, a New Super Mario Bros. 2, if you will, Miyamoto attempted to swerve by saying he was unable to talk about unfinished projects. "Unfinished" would have to mean it's begun, wouldn't it?

"That team is also working hard," he said. "The thing that's difficult is that, as you know, the way we handle our announcement is we work on product and once the product is at a state where we feel it's ready to show to people, then that's when we're willing to talk about it. Which is why it's difficult for me to talk about different projects in interviews. I have a lot of different teams and those teams are all at different points in their experiments or development, so it's typically once they've finalized something that we're able to talk about it. But for me to go into too much detail would be a little bit irresponsible in an interview. All that I can say is that that team is also working."

More info revealed "all of the leaders of those teams -- of the Mario team, of the Zelda team and of the Pikmin team -- all sit within 150 feet of my desk. The Galaxy team is the only one that's farther away -- they're in Tokyo. But I do have video conferencing with them."

And, God bless them, IGN closed with not a question, but a statement: "We don't really have a question. We just want you to make another Galaxy game." To this, Miyamoto replied, "Leave it to me."

Thanks to Wii Will Rock U for the wonderful tip.
