I et nyt interview med IGN fortæller Nintendos Shigeru Miyamoto at han gerne så et nyt Metroid og Star Fox på Wii U.
Selv mener legenden at den nye controller ville tilføje begge serier masser af nye muligheder, og om Metroid fortæller han:
"With Metroid it's very easy to imagine some interesting implementation for Wii U. I think that having another screen with the gyro built in really gives you a lot of interesting opportunities for development, and we can bring a lot of our games to life in a completely unique way with that."
"I feel like the possibilities of the GamePad for Metroid could be really fantastic. There's certainly a lot that you could do there for that game."
Senere i interviewet afslører Mario-skaberen dog at hans personlige favorit er Star Fox, og at han i særdeleshed gerne så rumræven gøre comeback på den nye konsol.
