In a recent interview in the Nintendo Power bonus issue, Miyamoto talked more about his dream Mario game. What made me a little frightened is when Miyamoto used the phrase "another developer will". Thanks to Nintendorks for the word. Read on...it will make you wiser...

In the recent Nintendo Power bonus issue, Miyamoto revealed a little more about the new project he’s working on, which is apparently revolutionary, but not custom fitted for any popular franchise. Could this mean that the next Mario is further away than we’d hope? Could this be something *better* than Mario? You be the judge...

"I'd like people to think that the new Mario for Dolphin is something that they've never seen before. That's what I'm thinking about right now. I think I can make an entirely new game experience, and if I can't do it, some other game designer will. I'd like to make a new Mario game that appeals to everyone, full of interesting new ideas. If it turns out that Mario doesn't really fit into the type of game I want, I wouldn't mind using Zelda as the basis for the new game."

Miyamoto went on to say that:

"Super Mario Bros. established the category of side-scrolling action games. Mario 64 created the standard for 3-D action games (I believe). It is imperative to me that this next game also influences the direction of video games. Sometimes I think it's more important for me to create this new direction for games than to make the game fit Mario or Zelda. Perhaps Mario and Zelda fans wouldn't mind if the game is fun. If they think, ‘Wow! I've never played a game this great before,’ then I've succeeded."

Whatever that means, we sure do like the sound of it.
