Wii Music is the Last of Miyamoto's Initial Proposed Ideas for Wii Software
August 4, 2008 | 7:09 PM PST

Hmm. I guess we're still not quite done pulling stories from the Wall Street Journal article, titled "Keeping Up Nintendo's Momentum." There's truly a lot of interesting stuff in the interview.

Anyway, in the interview, famed Mario and Zelda creator, Shigeru Miyamoto, disclosed that Wii Music is in fact the last of his initial ideas for Wii software. In other words, of the ideas that he had for the console when he first started thinking of software ideas for Wii, Wii Music is the last one he originally proposed oh so many years ago.

WSJ: You finally unveiled Wii Music, the game that Super Mario Brothers creator Shigeru Miyamoto demonstrated three years ago.

Mr. Iwata: Wii Music completes what Miyamoto wrote in his proposal when he came up with the idea for the Wii. He was saying that he needs to think up more ideas now. -- Wall Street Journal


Hopefully, whatever he comes up with next is a little more exciting and, more specifically, geared towards us.
