After several sites commented on Nintendo's next console (now dubbed "Project Café"), Miyamoto expressed his thoughts on the matter, saying that Nintendo is always working on new hardware.
In an interview offered by French site Gameblog, Shigeru Miyamoto discussed many things going on at Nintendo. He confirms that he is still working on the next Pikmin, a title long in development since it was announced at E3 in 2008. He also re-confirms that he is working on the next Mario game and the next Mario Kart game for the 3DS. He notes that the tail shown on the Super Mario logo at GDC is indeed related to the Tanooki powers from Super Mario Bros. 3.
When asked about the Zelda franchise, he says that Nintendo will celebrate the series' anniversary this year, much like they did last year with Super Mario. Miyamoto mentions that there will be products commemorating the release of the first game in the series.
In addition, Miyamoto mentions that Nintendo is working on new AR games for the 3DS. However, he didn't mention if they were going to be downloadable titles or retail games.
Finally, Miyamoto made comments about Project Café, the alleged name of Nintendo's next system. He notes that Nintendo believes research and development on new consoles takes about five years to become interesting. He says that Nintendo is always working on new hardware and experiments that the public will never see, making the comment that "where there's smoke there's fire". He, however, warns readers that "you shouldn't believe everything you read", most likely referencing the stream of rumors about the system that started circulating the internet last week.

Is Miyamoto kind of a Francophile?
I see hardly any comments, meaning people are ignoring the fact Miaymoto is pretty much telling us all that IGN is full of ***** and Nintendo's next system isn't going to have a video screen on the controller, cost $400 or have 5-year-old tech in it like IGN keeps harping on. Thank you for clearing all that up Nintendo-god-son.I am definitely not IGN's biggest fan, especially in recent years. But it's pretty obvious that the site is very, very well connected with companies and developers. They have multiple sources on multiple levels all confirming a lot of the same things. Whether these sources have only been shown concepts or locked in features is hard to say but I think there's definitely a lot to the things IGN has been publishing.

That is how I interpret them as well but you got to admit some of these rumors are safe. HD,Blu Ray Disk, As powerful as a PS3, Retro being one of the first to get a development kit.These really are not that news worthy because its kinda a given. The rest of the rumors are kinda out there.I see hardly any comments, meaning people are ignoring the fact Miaymoto is pretty much telling us all that IGN is full of ***** and Nintendo's next system isn't going to have a video screen on the controller, cost $400 or have 5-year-old tech in it like IGN keeps harping on.

On the contrary, Miyamoto said "where there's smoke there's fire" which I take to be a nod that there is something to these rumors. He also said "we shouldn't believe everything we hear" which I take to mean that not every rumor is true, though. So he's not saying all the rumors are true, but he seems to be hinting that at least some of them are.
