Watch Mario Creator Miyamoto Fanboy Out at the Muppets Studio

During its E3 2015 Direct, Nintendo used muppet versions of Shigeru Miyamoto, Reggie Fils-Aime, and Satoru Iwata in little sketches between announcements and gameplay demos. They were delightful.

Now, Nintendo has released a video of Shigeru Miyamoto visiting Jim Henson's Muppet Studios. The video, which you can watch below, is essentially six-minutes of Miyamoto fanboying out.

It's sweet to see Miyamoto discussing the Muppets and Jim Henson's studio with the same kind of reverence that many video game players would have for him and his creations. Clearly, the muppets are one of the sources of that quintessential child-like delight that Miyamoto's game's inspire.

"I've admired Jim Henson studios for a very long time," Miyamoto says during the video. "When I was young, I didn't want to be a puppeteer, but the person who makes the puppet."

"So the fact that we were able to do this together is just great for me. I never even dreamed that one day my own puppet would be made by the Hensons."

During it's E3 Direct, Nintendo revealed more about the new Star Fox game for Wii U. The game will be called Star Fox Zero, and it will be releasing this holiday season.

The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords also got a successor in the form of The Legend of Zelda: Triforce Heroes. It will feature multiplayer gameplay where you and a couple friends work together to explore dungeons and solve puzzles.

Metroid Prime Federation Force was also announced for the 3DS. Its standout feature is a four player co-op mode. It is expected to release in 2016.
