Mario and Zelda to be newer and fresher
Nintendo has said that flagship characters Mario and Zelda must become "newer and fresher" in future instalments of their respective franchises.

Speaking to MTV Multiplayer, lead designer Shigeru Miyamoto was frank about the critically acclaimed Wii titles Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and Super Mario Galaxy.

He described Twilight Princess as "not a bad game" but indicated that he feels that there is "something missing" in the title.

Miyamoto also said that while Super Mario Galaxy is unique in some aspects, certain elements feel "somewhat conservative in terms of how far we branched out with design".

He added: "When we do release the next instalments of the Zelda or maybe the next Galaxy, hopefully they will feel newer and fresher than their most recent versions."
