Miyamoto confirms Super Mario Wii U

It would appear that none other than Shigeru Miyamoto has confirmed that a brand new Super Mario game will be announced for Wii U at E3.
The confirmation comes from an interview with Spanish language website El Mundo, as deciphered from Google’s translation (and a translation from forum Neogaf).
Could this be the Super Mario 4 rumoured in last week’s domain filing?
Elsewhere into the interview Miyamoto gives some insight into Nintendo’s current directions.
He says that “traditional games” are now very well catered for by emerging markets such as iOS, so Nintendo is instead focusing its efforts on trying to create new types of gaming experiences.
He is also training up a new generation of devs who will be capable of taking over from Miyamoto when he retires.
As for Miyamoto himself, his time is currently being occupied by work on Pikmin 3 and Luigi’s Mansion 2. He also confessed to wanting to revisit the Wii Music franchise, admitting that he was “sad” about sales of the first game.
