Nintendo will soon introduce some new characters to its lineup according to Shigeru Miyamoto. The revered games designer was questioned whether he has a yearning to create a new franchise and replied that while he doesn’t have a big list of ideas to work on, he has been musing some new ideas which will involve the introduction of new characters.

“I don’t have a big list of ideas I want to realise. I usually come up with new ideas while I am working on other games. That said, there’s a strong possibility we will introduce some new characters to the scene soon.”

That's awesome, and that face he is making.

Always nice to hear that Miyamoto-San is cooking up something new... I guess new characters could mean a new franchise, or some new faces in an existing one.

I guess we'll have to see what becomes of it...

Everything Miyamoto makes is gold. What was his last new IP, Pikmin? Never played it but it seems fun.

[King Psyduck]

I wonder what the new characters will be.

I thought it was prretty meh; I quit after a few ship parts. A lot of people seem to like it, though, so I'll probably get Pikimin 3.... after Rayman Legends, Mario Wii U, Darksiders 2, and whatever else Nintendo has planned for launch, of course.

Awesome! I can't wait!
Hopefully one or two of these new characters will be in a game on the Wii U launch! (Or closely after it. As Miyamoto said in the interview, a rushed game is forever bad.)
So take your time, Miyamoto.

I have the biggest hunch that we'll see not one, but two new Nintendo franchises on the Wii U.

IT WILL BEH ZAZUES TEH FISHEH!

It all depends on what Retro's doing, how far along Monolith's project is, and the same with Miyamoto's new project. 'Course, downloadable titles are a different story....

[Hank Hill]

I thought they already made a few new characters whenever they made Sakura Samurai, Pushmo, and Dillon's Rolling Western. :T

Anyways, can't wait to see what they'll cook up.

Miaymoto's new Wii U game....Thats what its talking about most likly. If it gets as big as Mario and Zelda just another thing that Microsoft and Sony will get frustrated with lol.

[Joshua]

A new face for Nintendo? Can't wait!

[Soul]

Project Grand Prix character

Nintendo Super Car lol.

[Caius Casshern Sins]

I wonder if the New character is for an existing IP or will be part of a new IP.

Honestly, it's about time they got some new IP going. Here's hoping for a franchise that makes use of the Wii U controller. Like, say, a game with art as a central mechanic? Not only would it use the Wii U to (arguably) its fullest, it would also help players develop a new skill. They'd have to make it fun for non-artists or people who can't draw well, but how cool would it be to see your art skills progress every day, just by playing a game? Protagonist could be an art student or a mage who fights with his paintbrush? Or something?

I just got a terrible idea from the pikmon avator...
What if he means they're putting more pikmin in pikmin 3?

It was epic, my favorite GC game, Pikmin 2 was much better then 1 in my opinion.But if you were to get it, you should get both.
