Speaking of Pikmin, I don't know about you, but I was a bit disappointed when I heard that Shigeru Miyamoto said, during the recent E3 event in Los Angeles, that the much-anticipated Pikmin 3 will be released for the Wii U and not the Wii. I know the Wii is all but dead at this point (thanks in no small part to Nintendo's lack of software support), but a third Pikmin title would have made for a fine swan song for the system.
Oh, well, at least this means we'll get to see Captain Olimar and his precious, plant-like companions in HD sooner rather than later.

Yeah...and I wouldn't want that swan song to be Pikmin's death knell. How many times have you heard, "No, there won't be a sequel because the original didn't sell well..." and the reasoning behind that being that it came at the very end of a system's lifespan?
Yes, that's true. Really, I'll take Pikmin 3 any way I can get it. Well, I'd rather it not be on a portable system, to be honest, but other than that ...
Anyway, back to Pikmin 3 on Wii U -- I really hope Nintendo can get it done in time for the system's launch. That way it will get maximum exposure and likely see maximum sales.
That would be amazing!
Let's cross our fingers, starting ... now!
