Miyamoto Confirms: Nintendo Working on New Hardware

The rumors from last week were now confirmed to be true, though in a brief mention, by Shigeru Miyamoto at the Annual Japan Media Arts Festival this Saturday.

Now the only thing left is figuring out what it is, and the speculation revolves around the Wii HD and a Nintendo DS with motion sensor and HD graphics, which was rumored last week, but promptly denied by Iwata a few days later.

Shigeru Miyamoto talked a lot in this Arts Festival, in fact. He talked about his story as a game developer, the hard times Nintendo had to endure, revealed that the inspiration for Super Mario Galaxy came from a Hamster he was caring for at his house, that he will refrain from making online multiplayer games for a while, and that Nintendo is working on one or more titles for WiiMotion Plus.

We now have the confirmation that they are indeed working on new hardware, but i wonder if it's going to be announced at this year's Game Developers Conference, as rumored. For now, we can only speculate.
