Miyamoto hints at new Nintendo franchise in 2008

"Maybe next year sometime, we may have new characters in the same way we came up with Pikmin when we introduced the GameCube."These were Miyamoto's remarks to Dean Takahashi during E3 this year, as Dean manages to get his lengthy interview online. During the interview, Miyamoto touches on a variety of subjects, focusing most on Wii Fit, naturally, but does stray to discuss other things about his work life at Nintendo. And, while the remainder of the interview is interesting, as with most times Miyamoto conducts one, we can't help but come back to that quote up top there.
What kind of new characters could we be seeing? What new franchise (or, dare we say, franchises) are we going to be looking to in the future for those fun experiences Nintendo is so wonderful at providing?

Miyamoto still makes games? I thought he was only interested in making gym equipment at this point.

Do they mean new as in we don't know about it yet, or do they mean Disaster: Day of Crisis?
and whatever happened to... Project O was it called? The one that had 3 dev teams on it or something?

Again, i wonder if this is NEW new, or just Disaster: Day of Crisis?

I hate it when that happens

I believe their stance is they're trying to make new experiences. If the best way to express it is through a new franchise they'll do so.

Let's hope it's something for the gamers rather than the grannies.

thats the dumbest conversation question ever, how would anybody blindly guess what theyre doing?

This is still just speculation at this point.
I can still hope though.
