Shigeru Miyamoto can't stop thinking about Zelda. He
semi-announced it in a developer roundtable, and even showed off the first
piece of art. Now, he has some more textual teases for us, in the form of an IGN interview.
Speaking to the IGN Nintendo team, the legendary game designer had this to say about a radically different Zelda for Wii:
Miyamoto: Well, the story setting for this Zelda is, of course, in a completely different era and Link is older than he was previously. More approaching adulthood. There is one hint. Maybe from the art work you can see that he's not holding a sword.
IGN: Has he lost his Master Sword?
Shigeru Miyamoto: [Laughing] I just wanted to make sure that you understand we are making it. That's all I'm going to say on that subject.
A Zelda game without a sword? Madness!
We want to hear your thoughts in comments.

Not satisfied by Nintendo's press conference today? New Super Mario Wii, Super Mario Galaxy 2, and Metroid: Other M just weren't "core" enough for you? First, you might need to speak to a therapist, but secondly, you might be interested in this little tidbit from an IGN interview with NoA president Reggie Fils-Aime.
When asked about the absence of Pikmin 3 at Nintendo's conference, Fils-Aime responded:
Matt, we're all about surprises. We will show that game when it's ready. At the right time. Close to when it's going to be launched. It's not there yet. But Mr. Miyamoto still has his roundtable to do, so maybe you'll see. Maybe you might get that surprise after all.
Later, when specifically asked about a surprise at the roundtable, Reggie had this to say:
Again, we're always trying to surprise you. So we'll see.
We had also heard rumblings of a post-E3 conference in Japan, but it turns out that that conference is just being held to display already unveiled titles to Japanese retailers.
Excited? Miyamoto's developer roundtable starts in about 7 minutes (9 PM EST), and we'll be sure to keep you updated on anything we hear.

...
In a recent interview with Club Nintendo, Reggie Fils-Aime and Shigeru Miyamoto addressed the increasingly annoying issue of Wii storage space. Miyamoto confirms that Nintendo is exploring all possible options to solve the problem, and Fils-Aime adds that Nintendo will not resort to a "traditional hard drive", but will create a solution that is "better than what we have now". Why does Nintendo have to over-complicate things? Wii owners have been asking for a hard drive for ages, just GIVE US ONE ALREADY. Ahem.
Miyamoto was also asked about Wii MotionPlus, and its possible incorporation into a new Zelda game. Miyamoto again confirmed that Nintendo is working on new Zelda and Pikmin titles, but declined to comment on Wii MotionPlus use.
Miyamoto went on to say that Wii owners shouldn't expect new peripherals any time soon, as he feels there are more than enough available for the Wii at the present time.

According to
IGN, both Shigeru Miyamoto of Nintendo and Keiji Inafune of Capcom will be delivering keynote addresses at CEDEC in Japan, the Japanese equivalent of America's GDC.
Iwata publicly apologized to hardcore gamers for Nintendo's lousy showing at E3, promising hardcore games were on the way soon. So can hardcore gamers look forward to this conference for some news? No. Miyamoto is taking the opportunity to speak more about Wii Music. Just what I wanted...

nintendo, industry, miyamoto, vote
...
Somehow Miyamoto's ratings have dropped from an average of 88 to 78! Stephen Colbert's ratings have pretty much stayed the same. This leads me to believe that Colbert voters are now voting for Miyamoto negatively. Please, let's get our butts back over to the polls vote a million times "100"
for Miyamoto, and a million times "1"
for Colbert.
Now this isn't to say I want to rage war against Colbert, I find his show hilariously intoxicating, and the man is a genius... but Miyamoto deserves the TIME 100. So how 'bout it folks? Wanna help master Miyamoto reach the top of all TIME?

Shigeru Miyamoto, the legend that brought us Zelda, Mario, Donkey Kong, Nintendogs, Pikmin, etc... Is up for the most influential human-being in TIME MAGAZINE
Follow this link to rate how influential this person is. - Personally I think that Miyamoto isn't even elligible for this competetion, I mean seriously, he isn't human, he's like some sort of god right? I mean he could take on Zeus with ease. Well whatever the case may be, I still think if you have enjoyed any of his billions of games, or video games in general you should pay a tiny bit of homage and vote with some sort of rating (anywhere between 1-100).

As you can tell from the Countdowns in the side bar, the Game Developer's Conference has kicked off with Nintendo's own Shigeru Miyamoto presenting the most anticipated keynote this year.
What you may not know however, is that Nintendo hasn't stopped dropping the Bob-ombs just yet!
As Opera Otaku Lawmune tipped: A flyer handed out by NOA before the keynote contained a US release date for the Opera DS Browser for Nintendo DS and DS lite!
The wait is over for all those who couldn't import one of the [English] European versions.
Thx Lawmune!
DotEd and OrganicChunkySalsa at the Opera 9 launch in Seattle explain the DS Browser to the press.

“By guiding us through his creative vision with a keynote at this year’s GDC, Miyamoto is allowing all attendees this incomparable privilege.”
