Nintendo Dev Roundtable - Pikmin Wii was intended to release 2011, moved to Wii U

Feels weird that it's already been 10 years since Pikmin...and it's the newest franchise in Smash Brothers Brawl. :/
 
Sounds like Pikmin is headed to Wii U

"Might not be too long until it's ready". Sounds like definite launch or launch window if it's well along and changed platforms last minute.
 
Pikmin! Awesome! I'm saddened that it's moving to Wii U, but I'll deal with it. Anyway, has it really been ten years? Ten years?! Crazy. I would have still called Pikmin one of Nintendo's "new" franchises. I guess not.
 
Trust me guys if there's one game you WANT bumped to Wu, it is Pikmin.

Imagine Pikmin built around THOUSANDS of Pikmin. Dat physics. Dat pathfinding. Dat tablet screen *for drawing paths*. Dat everything.
 
So Pikmon 3 wasn't announced officially because, well, Miyamoto wasn't supposed to...

But at least we know it's coming. Since he said it won't be too long before it's ready, hopefully there will be a proper announcement soon.
 
what....

so he didn't officially announce it?

he basically said "i really wanna do it but we haven't decided yet"

huh

wait a second guys. guys?
