Wii Music is Miyamoto's last idea?

Tyranitar24 | August 04, 2008 | News | Wii Gaming Tech/Hardware

Satoru Iwata, the president of Nintendo, has said famed designer Shigeru Miyamoto told him he needs to think of new ideas for the Wii since all of his ideas have been dealt with. Iwata claimed that Wii Music was Miyamoto's last idea and most of the accessories they wanted to release for the Wii are now out. Moreover, he feels the WiiMotion Plus cost hardly any money to make and will be affordable for the consumer; the official retail price has not been announced yet.

It could be the end of the road for new ideas on Wii: Nintendo President Satoru Iwata (pictured) has admitted that Wii Music is Shigeru Miyamoto’s last idea for the console.

In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, Iwata also revealed that Nintendo is not likely to launch many more accessories for the format.

He added that WiiMotion Plus “didn’t cost much to make” – and said that it would be “very affordable” for the consumer.

“Wii Music completes what Miyamoto wrote in his proposal when he came up with the idea for the Wii,” said Iwata.

Talk about blowing things out of proportion. Wii Music is the last idea outlined in Miyamoto's plan for Wii, which was made around 3 to 4 years ago. It says no where that Miyamoto has no more ideas. It would be interesting if these news sites would read their own articles before making spectacular headlines. (Not targeted at you, Tyranitar, just your source.)

Hey, Big AZ, Wii Music is a great idea. I can't wait to play it.
Man something is wrong with that source. Just because Wii Music is his last idea form 3 or 4 years ago, doesn't mean he won't come up with more great ideas. I can't wait for more of his ideas.

  No, Pikmin is a great idea. Wii Music is not.
  
  And by the way it's Big A2 not Big AZ.
