Pikmin 3 coming to Wii U

Shigeru Miyamoto announced that Pikmin 3 will be joining the cast of upcoming Wii U titles.

Pikmin 3 was first announced several years ago during the prime of the first two games, though little else had been revealed about the third installment since then.

Miyamoto says the game is already well on its way, but development had been delayed in order to get ready for the Wii U announcement.

Thanks to the Wii U system’s specs, Pikmin 3 will be in full high-definition, something the Pikmin franchise should take full advantage of.

It will also be interesting to see if the first two titles are remastered in HD and brought over to the Wii U.
