The info came out of a roundtable discussion:

Quote:
Every year at Nintendo's roundtable event, Miyamoto fields questions about the fate of the Pikmin series, which last saw an entry in 2004. While he last year promised a new game was in development for the Wii, he said that development has shifted to the Wii U -- making it the first announced title for the system, as Nintendo has only shown tech demos so far.

This year marks the 10th anniversary of the series. "I really wanted to release a Pikmin game" for that milestone, he said.

While development on a new Wii game in the series has been underway for some time, "as we've been working on the Wii U I've gotten a look at the fancy new graphics and the new controller, I got the feeling it's the perfect game for that system, so we're going to make it on that."

Since the team has already been developing the game for some time, however, "maybe it won't be too long before it's ready for Wii U."

"There are two sides to me today, the corporate side that wants to follow the precedent we set for E3 of not announcing any titles, and the creative side of me that wants to tell you we're working on Pikmin," he closed with.

Can't think of a better game for the system.

Well, Advance Wars and Fire Emblem aside.

Pikmin 3 + Screen Controller + Augmented Reality stuff = Pikmin actually in your bedroom/living room.

Still never played a Pikmin game. Might pick up the Wii version of the second game at some point.

If you can find it that is, best bet is online because I have never seen the second game in shops for the Wii. First game is easy to find but the second game is by far a lot better.

I kinda preferred the first. Theres way more content in the second game and the addition of a second commander really helped with multitasking but some of the design in the cave sections is a total "strawberry float you" to the player.

I should be pleased about this news, but the more I think about it, the more it's shitty. They should release Pikmin 3 on Wii as originally intended.

Only thing that comes to mind is Kid Icarus but that's 3DS.

This. I haven't played my Wii for over the year and the only game I was interested in playing on it since launch basically was Pikmin 3. I'm not buying a Wii U so this is massive gay for me. If it's already well under way in terms of development for Wii then why not bring it out on both like they did with Zelda for GC/Wii.

Pikmin 1 & 2 were both £5 each brand new for Wii in my last visit to GAME at the Metrocentre, Gateshead. You cannot go wrong at that price, hopefully it will be nationwide.
