In an interview with Joystiq's JC Fletcher, Mario creater Shigeru Miyamoto confirmed again that he is working on a new game, but it's going to be a while before we get to see what he has been working on. He explained the his role at Nintendo keeps him busy.

"One thing I want to clear up," Miyamoto told Joystiq, "people like to ask me if I want to do a small project with a small team. I do like working with a small team, and I'm working with a number of small teams on a lot of different ideas, but the problem is because of all these different roles that I have to fulfill, it takes me a long time to write the design document." In addition, working with small teams causes design work to take longer, he said, so "maybe this time next year I'll have something ready to show you that perhaps will illustrate that idea."

We have known that Miyamoto has been working on a new IP for a while. It's understandable that with the role he has that working on a new game is something that will take time.
