Kotaku: Pikmin 3 (Wii U) at E3 2012 confirmed

Two copies sold? That's not a bomb guys, stop trolling!!!
I don't understand why Nintendo doesn't save this stuff for the conference itself. The impact is dramatically lessened if we know about it beforehand.

When Nintendo does this, it's just for a reason. Because there will be things even more Megaton-worthy than Mario and Pikmin.

Normally they do. I think this is one of the only titles we've known about in advance in years

Fans in the audience would have heart attacks from these announcements if they weren't notified before hand.

YESSSSS! About fucking time.

This is magnificent.. but there's legitimate reason to be excited here just the same. It's been a long time coming and the tablet should work quite well with it.
 
I've never played the second one of these, but the first one was a fun little game, and it's one of the few franchises that hasn't been beaten to death into the ground so it will be pretty fresh.

the second one is ten times better than the first. Go out and play it now.

I wonder what they will do with the Wii U controller. I kinda thought/think that pointer controls would've been better but we'll see. I hope we get more Pikmins rather than having to wait another almost 10 years for a new one. It's a series that I think would've strongly benefited from the expanded audience found on the DS/Wii.

Sadly never got a chance to play either game.

I have a feeling that Nintendo is going to own this E3 like it did with the N64.

I feel it. I FEEL IT.

Nintendo. You piss me off again like the GC and Wii E3s then I'm finished with you. FINISHED.

He's a pretty swell guy in my books anyway.
It'd be far more odd if they didn't after Miyamoto's announcements at prior E3s (and especially last E3), but I'm looking forward to seeing it.

Nowhere in the OP does it mention Wii U though. Is it confirmed for Wii U or are people speculating? If so, then my money is on Pikmin 3DS.

Sadly Kotaku is the source at the moment, and I know they were banned for a period, hopefully more universally reliable sites like IGN gets their own confirmation, but I trust them, but I have to keep the caution in the back of my head.

Hilarious cynicism. If we're telling you we contacted a company and then telling you what they said, we're not making that up!

Pikmin 3 was confirmed for Wii U last E3, and would they seriously announce a 3DS entry out of nowhere before finally showing the Wii U entry we all know is on the way?

Please accept my apologies, I'm only going by the unfortunate poor word of mouth Kotaku has, I'm not a frequent of the site, so I don't judge it on my own. :(

Again, I'm very sorry, thank you for bringing this info to us. :)

I think Miyamoto is just tired to people asking about Pikmin 3. I wouldn't be too worried about some megaton surprises at E3. We barely know anything about the system.
