Miyamoto: Hi, Iwata, Reggie, I’m working on 15 new
Mario games — oh, and a new IP*. If you need a spare one, I can just just copy and paste New Super Mario Bros. assets into HD and boom, new game. Anyway, I’m off out with Sakurai. He says he’s finally getting around to making a fresh, new game. What a joker, that guy!
*New IP = New Intellectual Property. A new character or game with a fresh gameplay idea, Miyamoto has promised to show this for years upon years, but has never been unveiled. It joins Half-Life 3, Metroid Dread and The Last Guardian in their exclusive room of vapourware.
