Core Magazine tear it up with Shiggy in yet another interview with Shigeru Miyamoto (when is Planet gonna get the love?). Check out comments pertaining to Miyamoto maybe having five games by l

The fine people at Core Magazine have a nice little interview with the man himself, Miyamoto-sensei. While it's not incredibly long, we get a glimpse of one of the more important NGC variables: namely the number of games available at launch.

Question: You mentioned at Spaceworld that five titles will launch alongside the GameCube next July?

Miyamoto-san: All of them more or less, are being developed under my supervision. We're still not sure how many titles will be available at launch though. Could be six or seven now.

Question: But Nintendo will definitely have 5 internally developed games available for launch?

Miyamoto-san: Yes, Nintendo is planning to release 5 or so own its own. Please wait until E3 next May for more details though. If I revealed more now, Microsoft might change the specs of the XBox. [laughs..] I don't want people to focus on specs though. Some people might say; 'GameCube isn't great, just look at its CPU power.' The truth is though, for tasks such as drawing pictures or making music, GameCube doesn't use the CPU. I think the balance of the GameCube hardware will lead the industry for years to come. Existing consoles aren't capable of producing the demo's we showed at Spaceworld. In fact, I think the demo's resemble graphics created by multi-million dollar workstations.

Six or seven EAD-developed titles for the Japanese launch? As the Master says, we'll have to wait until E³, but until then be sure to check the Q&A out!
