Shigeru Miyamoto is working on classic Nintendo franchises

Those of you that have been keeping up to date with E3 will have noticed that whilst there are a vast and diverse bunch of Wii U tiitles on the way, there aren't many of Nintendo's key franchises appearing other than Pikmin 3 and New Super Mario Bros U. Iwata is keen to ensure people that other key Nintendo franchises are on the way, they just can't reveal them yet.

More interestingly, both him and Miyamoto are directly involved in the development process of most of these upcoming titles. Speaking to investors, Iwata stated that alongside Nintendo's well known titles will be all new experiences but they cannot be revealed at this point.

First, what we've shown at the E3 show are both the launch titles that will be released with Wii U hardware this holiday season and the launch window titles that will be released early next year or not long after the hardware launch.

We do have ideas of what kind of software we will be releasing after those two periods, and Mr. Miyamoto as well as I are both directly involved in the development process. Those include both our traditional franchises and of course new propositions as well.

However, because we are now in the era when similar proposals can be made by the others just one year after we introduced a brand-new hardware system proposal, please understand that we really can't say much about what else we are planning."

What classic titles would you like to see appear on the Wii U? Or are you more interested in the brand new experiences that Iwata is teasing? Leave a comment below and let us know your thoughts.
