It has been announced Nintendo will reveal Pikmin Wii U at E3 in June! Originally yesterday, an interview with Shigeru Miyamoto in Spanish newspaper El Mundo suggested an appearance at E3. Now the company has officially confirmed it.

A Nintendo spokesperson responded, “In a recent interview, Mr. Miyamoto confirmed that a new Pikmin game will be shown at the E3 Expo in June. He believes that anyone who has played Pikmin games in the past will enjoy playing.”

What will Nintendo add to the third installment in the series?

The last Pikmin game was the fantastic Pikmin 2 released on the Gamecube back in 2004 so you’ll understand when I say this sequel is definitely one of my most anticipated games at the event this year. Originally planned for a Wii release but later moved to the Wii U for its extra screen and HD visuals, hopefully this will be worth the wait.
