What could Shigeru Miyamoto be working on now?

Shigeru Miyamoto already has a lot of games and characters to his credit, but his best is yet to come and he’s out to make another. We’re talking about a new game with a character to stand alongside Mario, Link, the Kongs, and many others, so that should be something to think about.

The secret to this master game-maker’s magic is his hobbies, from which he bases his creations. Last year, he got a cat. Simple, seemingly unrelated fact, but with that cat came the Nintendogs & Cats announced at E3. Something as small as the man getting a pet led to an announcement later on.

Unfortunately, he’s forbidden by Nintendo to even talk about his little pastimes, so it’s going to be a lot tougher to try and guess what he has in the works. The most recent piece of information he outed about himself was that he took up swimming. Could that be the giveaway?

Other stuff to note is that it could have multiplayer, it doesn’t have to be in 3D (but it probably will be), and it shouldn’t be childish.
