Wii 2 Announcement Only a Matter of Time, Says Miyamoto

Should you still be doubting that a new Nintendo console is on the way, Shigeru Miyamoto has essentially admitted that such a device is in the works and it's only a matter of time before it's officially announced.

Speaking in London this week, Edge reports that Miyamoto was asked about the recent rumors. "Don't ask!" he responded. "Even when the Wii launched we were developing new hardware, work on 3DS had already started. It's a matter of when we announce it." E3 in June is said to be when the reveal will be coming, though when asked about that date, he answered, "Please wait. Be patient until we decide."

That doesn't confirm all of the rumors we've been hearing about 6-inch touchscreens, different controllers, and SNES-looking systems. It does however sound as if we'll be getting some official word on the new system before long.
