Legendary games designer Shigeru Miyamoto has confessed that he’s really enjoying working on Pikmin 3 for Wii U. The game was originally developed for Wii, but Miyamoto says that having high definition graphics and a touch screen at his disposal is enabling him to create a game he’s truly happy with.

“Originally, I was making Pikmin 3 to be launched on the Wii platform. Because the Wii U is capable of HD quality pictures, and will be accompanied by the subscreen on your hand. I thought that I would be able to make a Pikmin that was closer to my ideal. I am now actually enjoying myself, working on the game.”

And I'm pretty sure many are going to enjoy playing it! Hopefully, it's masterful. Who am I kidding, it's going to be masterful, no need to hope.

Obligatory lock if old.

This. Maybe I'll have a Wii U by then.

themadcowtipper · Feb 13, 2012

He also enjoys trollin.

WrenchNinja · Feb 13, 2012

I think it's pretty sad that the last think the Pikmin have done are be part of the DSi to 3DS transfer tool. Pikmin 3 better be amazing.

Is 'subscreen' the official term for the wiipad? I like it, sounds futuristic.

You are also enjoying the teasing.

Ezduo · Feb 13, 2012

I assume we'll be playing this right about the time Episode 3 and The Last Guardian come out.

BassForever · Feb 13, 2012

He can tease me all he wants, I know the final product will be great and shall be worth whatever wait I have to endure.

Ushojax · Feb 13, 2012

Master game designer.

Master troll.

ffdgh · Feb 13, 2012

Its nice to hear that development is coming along well.

SmokedMeat · Feb 13, 2012

I'm sure going from ugly Wii graphics to HD and a touch screen would put a smile on anyone.

speedpop · Feb 13, 2012

Should be fun.

Willkiller · Feb 13, 2012

SO......this years E3?

Haunted · Feb 13, 2012

Not even a single screen of this so far.

Goddamnit Nintendo.

Ono is the final troll boss. Just setting things straight...

"too bad you will never get to play it"

iwata: (laughs)

Dragoon En Regalia · Feb 13, 2012

But where's the tea table?

Good that he still enjoys doing his overdue Pikmin stuff, nonetheless.

Bisnic · Feb 13, 2012

I expect this game to be there on launch day.

Winnie the Pimp · Feb 13, 2012

in sort of unrelated news: whenever this game is released.. add another 3-5 years on top and then FF Vs XIII shall be out as well!

Bullza2o · Feb 13, 2012

Miyamoto should show us how he's enjoying Pikmin 3. At E3.

RickA238 · Feb 13, 2012

Maybe I dreamed it, but didn't this guy say he was retiring like a month ago?

Troll · Feb 13, 2012

I hope that my retirement is as enjoyable as his.

The Hermit · Feb 13, 2012

I guess Miyamoto is taking some classes with Ono...

No he didn't, that was a misinterpretation of what he said.

Gianni Merryman · Feb 13, 2012

One thing they could do on WiiU that has not been possible so far due to hardware limitations, is they may possibly put more throw more than 100 Pikmins on screen.

Spieler Eins · Feb 13, 2012

This years E3 just must be the one that's finally gonna have the real Pikmin 3 unveiling, right? .... right?

I'm more interested in his new IP

Boken · Feb 13, 2012

Even Miyamoto enjoys HD graphics.

Cartman86 · Feb 13, 2012

Trying to convince everyone he isn't stepping down from big producer position.

the androgyne · Feb 13, 2012

Johnas · Feb 13, 2012

Good for you, Miyamoto.

Now let's see some screenshots just to make sure.

Cheesecakebobby · Feb 13, 2012

This needs to be a launch title. It's the only way I can convince my girlfriend that the Wii U is an essential purchase.

Winnie the Pimp · Feb 13, 2012

good he's working on Pikmin 3 but shouldn't he be ALSO working on his new ip?

Die Squirrel Die · Feb 13, 2012

Nay, Ono's fairly new at this trolling thing. Miyamoto's been cockteasing Pikmin 3 since at least the early Wii days, maybe even pre-release.

Ono's got the enthusiasm but he's yet to show if he can play the long game.

hiro4 · Feb 13, 2012

sooo before this he hated it?

Please miyamoto let me enjoy playing this game.

SovanJedi · Feb 13, 2012

I'm really happy he's enjoying working on Pikmin 3! I always worry that he hates his job from all the years spent working on each Zelda game, only for fans to bitch and moan about how it's not the game they wanted and things need shaking up. That would drive me to serious amounts of liquor.

Can we please see Pikmin 3 soon though, Mr. Miyamoto?

cacildo · Feb 13, 2012

To be fair, i dont like pikmin.

And i also dont like the Metroid Prime series. I dont think Retro is God like gaf thinks.

4 years at gaf and i finally got to say it. Feels good.

Guerrillas in the Mist · Feb 13, 2012

Millions of Pikmin on screen at the same time, in glorious HD...

well if kameo could do it in 2005 (over 100 on screen models (there or abouts..) i imagine after 7 years now we can have "at least" 100 HD pikmins

CoffeeJanitor · Feb 13, 2012

This is turning into The Last Guardian. I hear some rumors its going to get pushed back to the next Nintendo console.

Cheesecakebobby · Feb 13, 2012

I also hope the 'subscreen' is a magnifying glass we can use to burn enemies like the pitiful ants that they are.

To be fair at least The Last Guardian had a trailer

spanks · Feb 13, 2012

I guess we won't see his new IP for a few years then, unless... nah.

bro it's a WU launch title, you'll see!

Sponge · Feb 13, 2012

Let's hope we enjoy playing it as much as he is creating it.

But hey, It's Pikmin so I'm not worried.

Conor 419 · Feb 13, 2012

I honestly think there's a lot of reasons that this will be one of the best launch titles of all time.

Edit - That cover whilst looking lovely, is really haunting.
