TBH, I'm really not all that excited for E3 this year, but some great announcements could quickly change that.

that was evil and uncalled for. what have the pikmin ever done to you? shame on you. YOU make something else. and make sure you have no plans of going on a "boycott pikmin 3" crusade.
i want pikmin 3 like nao.
I love Pikmin and I'm someday going to pick up the second game. But they aren't successful and I'd rather see a new IP or a kick ass game based on an older IP. Kid Icarus perhaps?
Nobody is really salivating and leading the call for a pikmin sequel.
How could a Kid Icarus game kick ass?
How could it not, and how could you ask such a question you godless heathen?
Both Pikmin games were million sellers. For a new IP in the strategy genre and a pretty understated game i would think that's fairly successful. i also don't see how making pikmin 3 is mutually exclusive to making a new IP or a kid icarus game. Nintendo should have (or at least have the money to hire) enough development teams to make all those games. For me personally the (unspoken) promise of pikmin 3 was as influential a factor in buying a wii as a new Mario and Metroid Prime game. having loved both the gamecube games i'd love to see what they can do specifically with the wii in mind and i'd love to try my hand at the wii controls without having to buy the two games i already have in their NPC edition. I just can't see why there is anything what so ever negative in developing pikmin 3.
i think you would feel different if you had played P2. as it is you have that to look forward to, for me and others who played it there is only P3 to look forward to
Smash Bros and Mario Galaxy and Zelda, all games which sell at or over 5 million each. Smash and Galaxy are near 8 million?
Pikmin just isn't anywhere near that. Even paper mario sells 2.5 mil.
I guess the negative of making Pikmin 3 is that the team could be making something else. Something different. I dont think I personally need 3 pikmin games.
I guess I feel that way because I dont own Pikmin 2 and so how can I be excited for Pikmin 3?
