That's right, they confirmed it here during the roundtable event:

You'll still have the capability to use the Wii remote motion controls including Wii motion plus. I'm not surprised Pikimin jumped a generation. You simply have to look at how Nintendo approaches development and how their developers think, especially in the case of Iwata and Miyamoto. During development Miyamoto will completely throw out a game if it doesn't meet his expectations or he wants to add new ideas and those ideas conflict with the current version of the game. This can be seen as the result of the new art direction found in Skyward Sword motivated in part after adding Wii motion plus functionality. With Pikimin it may simply be that the Wii's hardware wasn't capable enough to do what Nintendo wanted thus why this game was continually stuck in development. Now as a plus Pikimin serves as a strong launch title that won't over shadow 3D party titles. Even if those 3d party titles are practically no more than slightly enhanced ports simply because the art direction of Pikimin won't compete directly with the same audience.

I've never played a Pilkim game before, but if this looks good I'll consider getting it. I'd like to see some screenshots from the game.

[Limelight788]

I don't have a problem with the translation at all. This can only make the game that much better.

I just saw a video of Pikmin 2, and it looks awesome. Now I really want Pikmin 3.

[Epic Kirby]

I haven't played pikmin since the one on gamecube so I'm looking forward to this. I bet the game will look stunning in HD. It was always one of those game that I thought could do with the HD treatment.

The second pikmin game was the most fun as I remember. The muiltiplayer and the co-op was the most memorable thing that was in pikmin 2, and I hope they continue it in the third pikmin. Hopefully they won't have that stupid time limit thing in the first game, that's the main reason I didn't like it.

actually they were going to do it on wii but then moved it to wiiu because of its capabilities

My only worry is that they may try to play it safe, Pikmin 1 and 2 were amazing. However, I hope they don't just copy them, I want a totally new Pikmin game, because they have done this in the past, most of the Mario Party games, nothing really new, Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour, a brilliant game, but all they did was fix the game mechanics rather than make it it's own game.

I want a completely new Pikmin experience, and whilst I know Nintendo can do it, I don't know if they will.

[Mario]

Don't care.
This is one of those series that just doesn't matter in any way, shape, or form.

But, that's just my opinion.
(Which is the only one worth having if you ask me.)

[dannyboy]

i know alot of people will be happy about pikmin 3 as they've basically been begging nintendo to make it. I however have never played a pikmin game so i probably won't be getting it unless there's some really cool feature

[GunGoomba]

Yay, I'm excited! That announcement is really odd for me. I was playing Pikmin 1 a couple days before it was on there.. . Well, still, I'm excited!

Personally here is my idea for new pikmin in pikmin 3

Green pikmin: Green pikmin are the same size of Red,Blue and Yellow but with one difference,they can make flowers that can catapult Olimar to the other side of a gap and they can plant seeds that can plant flowers to fight enemies.

Pink Pikmin: Pink pikmin are simmler to white pikmin expect they can use weather (To create sun rays and thunder at random but they can also survive ice attacks.

Black pikmin: They are the most powerful pikmin.They can stop the enemies from moving so the purple can attack and they can survive in dark areas where all other pikmin die and they can glow in the dark

This is perfect for the Wii U. It will look great in 1080p HD and with the new controller you'll be able to actually touch the Pikmin to make them react and tap where you want them to go.

i like ur ideas but maybe a glow in the dark pikmin too
this game needs more elements to make it good too

Your opinion is wrong, I pity you.

[Fatcatpr0ductions]

To be honest I've never played Pikmin 1 or 2 so I wouldn't know what to expect from this game.
