General Manager of Nintendo, Shigeru Miyamoto

While Nintendo is currently cruising the high seas with impressive Wii sales, Shigeru Miyamoto, the mastermind behind the classic hits such as Donkey Kong, Super Mario Bros. and The Legend of  Zelda, has pointed out to Popular Mechanics via CVG that a new Nintendo console is definitely on the horizon.

Shigeru Miyamoto hinted that Nintendo's next console is likely to go down a similar route as the Wii, offering a compact, low-cost machine.

Speaking of Nintendo's plans going forward, Miyamoto said: "With both the Wii Remote itself and Wii Motion Plus, what we've been able to do is introduce an interface that is both I think appealing and at the right price for a broad audience."

"And while we don't have any concrete plans for what we'll be doing with hardware in the future, what I can say is that, my guess is that because we found this interface to be so interesting, I think it would be likely that we would try to make that same functionality perhaps more compact and perhaps even more cost-efficient."
