Retro_Link Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 Former Tekken and Pikmin designer is apparently working on something new in Kyoto. Pikmin and Metroid Prime: Hunters designer Masamichi Abe is working on an original Nintendo game, according to Tekken series director Katsuhiro Harada. Polygon spotted a tweet from Harada replying to an enquiry about Abe, who also worked on Tekken and Tekken 2 during his time at Namco: Katsuhiro Harada @Harada_TEKKEN He is in Nintendo Kyoto now. working on some Nintendo original title RT@2Andrin what happened to Masamichi Abe? Is he retired? Abe has worked on Pikmin, Pikmin 2, Metroid Prime: Hunters and Mario vs Donkey Kong: Minis March Again. Not much to go on, but hopefully it's a new IP as that would be mighty welcome!
Jonnas Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 Maybe he meant "a title involving Nintendo's original IPs"? Or even just "a new title from Nintendo"? Remember that Harada's first language is not English, and I doubt he would casually reveal the job details of a guy he apparently hasn't worked with in years.

It definitely doesn't sound to me as 'something new' but more like 'something NINTENDO ownes'.
