Title misleading, the article makes it sound like they are doing the same thing they did before the Kid Icarus release.
Guys, help. Nintendo is trying to steal all of my money. Oh God oh God I'm gonna be poor.

Yes I would like to see some animated shorts for Pikmin. Though as other people have pointed out it's going to be a little awkward hearing Olimar, Louie, etc. speak other then "OLIMAR" "LOUIE".

except without any questionable views Seriously though like, he invented cutscenes to advance the story of a game, and he invented jumping, and if you can find one fucking game this year that makes no use of either of those then it will be a rare exception. So influential, and that's just the very first one he made.
[QUOTE=Flyingman356;39884849][B]he invented jumping,[/B][/QUOTE] Miyamoto did not invent jumping in games.
[QUOTE=Reds;39884958]Miyamoto did not invent jumping in games.[/QUOTE] You are correct. He did help popularize jumping as an actual gaming genre, though: Platformers. I think. I'm not sure.
