We all know how Miyamoto's hobbies filter they way to his games – a childhood spent exploring nature became The Legend of Zelda, a gardening hobby became Pikmin, a family pet inspired Nintendogs. In an interview with Joystiq, Miyamoto told us what has been taking part of his spare time.

Mr. Iwata always tells me I'm not allowed to tell anybody. It had been, for a long time, sort of a secret that I was going to art museums. But we just announced the project at the Louvre in Paris. So I can talk about that now. Maybe in the fall it might feel a bit more complete. |
Art, an obvious inspiration for a designer, just as he said during the interview, "I have some storyboards that I have to draw before I finish this trip,. t's fun, I use Flipnote Studio to draw my storyboards."
One title that was surelly missing this E3 was the Wii U's Art Academy, it seemed Nintendo had forgotten about it, but going by Miyamoto's last sentece it is still going for a launch release this fall.
Nice job!
