Massive Miyamoto interview - Super Mario Galaxy 2 will be light on story, Mario games don’t need big stories, the goal is to make Zelda Wii require MotionPlus, and much more!
GoNintendo — ... things are going to go. We’re doing our best with what we’ve created with Wii Sports Resort. We feel confident that it’s a strong product and that it will help to really drive the install base of Wii Motion Plus. Hopefully with something like Wii Sports Resort, people will feel like they want to have two Wii MotionPlus units in the house to be able to play that game. But the goal at this point is that we would make Wii MotionPlus required in order to play Zelda. Full interview here

Super Mario Galaxy 2 To Be Light On Story
G4 TV - TheFeed — ... I tune right out.... there are exceptions, of course -- Bioshock, Portal, and a few others -- but those kinds of games generally have plots that are worked into the gameplay, as opposed to having a plot that exists separately from what you actually do when you play the game. What do you think? Do you like story in your Mario or are you okay with just running around and jumping on turtles for no other reason than they're there? Source  ...

Next Zelda not for ready for our eyes yet, Miyamoto says
That VideoGame Blog — ...

Miyamoto says games need controllers
Destructoid — ... While the world "oohs" and "aahs" at Microsoft's hands-off Project Natal concept, Nintendo design legend Shigeru Miyamoto has voiced skepticism for the whole idea. Unsure that Natal will work, the waggle fan states that an interactive experience needs a physical controller. ...

Miyamoto Dishes On Zelda
GayGamer.net — ... reported during E3 at a roundtable, Miyamoto showed off some artwork and discussed the next Zelda a little bit. I know many people are as excited to hear about another Zelda as they were about the new Metroid coming out, so it seemed strange that the news of the Zelda game wasn't in the Nintendo press conference. Luckily, Chris Kohler, finder of Fruit Brute cellphones, over at Wired got an interview with Miyamoto, and after some questions about the sequel to Mario Galaxy, Miyamoto had plenty to say as to why Zelda was kept rather hushed at E3: ...

Miyamoto calls Microsoft motion ‘basic,’ says players ‘need something to hold’
Infendo - Nintendo blog — xbox-natal In an interview with Wired , Nintendo’s killer-app had this to say about motion control finally becoming the industry standard:“Looking at what the other companies have shown here at E3, it feels like they have finally obtained the very basic technology for doing motion control, but… I don’t think I could create an experience that truly feels interactive if you don’t have something to hold in your hand, if you don’t have something like force feedback that you can feel from the controller.” While I still find ...

Kotaku — ... body". What does Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto think? I don't think I could create an experience that truly feels interactive if you don't have something to hold in your hand, if you don't have something like force feedback that you can feel from the controller. Oh. So we need controllers for people to play? If the goal is immersion, isn't simple gesturing more intuitive than holding a plastic remote and pretending its something else?
