It's-a me, Leenk! Yippieeeee!
As the voice of Mario, Charles Martinet has been a staple of Nintendo ever since the plumber first showed the industry how 3D gaming is done. But why stop with Mario?

I spoke to Mr. Miyamoto and said: “I wanna be Link, I wanna be Link”, and Miyamoto told me..
News: Wii Music Plus Possible?
Miyamoto sees more in the future of Wii Music.
ONM UK didn't just grill Shigeru Miyamoto on Mario, they also asked him some questions about other games. One of these was Wii Music. It's quite logical to think that after Wii Fit Plus, Nintendo would also want to offer an enhanced version of Wii Music. But although Miyamoto would like to do more with the game, "Wii Music Plus" is not on the..

News: Miyamoto Talks Zelda With MotionPlus
Swordplay and targeting get a boost
Details on the next installment in the Legend of Zelda series have been few and far between since Miyamoto unveiled concept art for the in-development title at E3 in June, depicting a swordless Link back-to-back with a mysterious, sword-like creature.

News: Miyamoto Ready to Cough Up Nintencats Furball?

News: Make Miyamoto Smile: Show StarFox Love
Feels Fox fallen, fears future frustration
Some would argue - not necessarily us, but some - that StarFox is a franchise best left dead, having had its glory years nearly a decade ago and only reappearing in mediocre titles since Lylat Wars/StarFox 64 on N64.

News: Miyamoto Borking Super Mario Galaxy 2's Story
Doesn't want it to weigh down the game's fun feeling.

News: New Super Mario Bros. Wii Only Multiplayer At Home
