Pikmin 4 is in development and very close to completion! Anyone else looking forward to another entry in the Pikmin franchise? Anything you'd like to see return from previous entries?
Great news indeed! I would like to see co-op in story mode And I miss the real life products, it would be nice if that returns! Or maybe a different planet with new recourses altogether.
This has got to be the best news I've heard from Nintendo all year. I honestly didn't think we'd see a new entry for at least another 3 or 4 years. It makes no difference to me what platform its on (WiiU,3DS,NX) as long as its not a mobile game.

This should most likely be moved to the Wii U thread, since AFAIK all currently available data indicates that this is a Wii U game:
At the same time, we have also prepared a demo version of “Pikmin 3” so anyone who hasn’t played Pikmin can experience its unique joy. Continually launching campaigns after the release of software will lay the groundwork for the next iteration of “Pikmin” in the future. (Miyamoto to the shareholders in October 2014)
This is an unexpected surprise, I'm really excited!
I'm also really nervous.. pikmin games aren't something that can't really be developed THIS fast.. It seems like nintendo has been rushing this since the previous title. They must've just copied a ton of the mechanics and engines of pikmin 3 and added new maps, a few new enemies, new story, and called it pikmin 4.
Possibly for the NX......I mean come on now. The reason Pikmin 3 came on Wii U instead on the Wii was because even if they made it on the Wii, it would take three years to make it happen so it was moved to Wii U.

The Pikmin 4 game was "very close to completion" according to Miyamoto in an interview made 2 months ago, so your point is...?

I think it's best to keep this under General Discussion until anything is confirmed. I think it's very likely that it'll end up on the Wii U as well, but an indication isn't an official confirmation. We can move the thread once we know more.

We shall see how this goes!
Pikmin 1 was released on October 26 in 2001 (in Japan), Pikmin 2 on April 29 in 2004. That's about two and a half years. It's definitely possible. If what Miyamoto said was correct, and the Pikmin team is always working on a new Pikmin game, then 2-3 years is plenty of development time, for sure if they are using Pikmin 3's engine, which is very likely.

I don't understand, why does that suggest that it will be a Wii U game?

Oh God, I hope not. I'm starting to get sick of the same-old in Nintendo's sequels lately. That's why I'm probably not getting Star Fox Zero.

If you release a demo for the specific purpose to prepare the audience for a future game release, it does make sense to do it on the platform the game will arrive on?
@Megumi: And it being a main numbered installment? I doubt it.
There might be a mobile companion app, but the game will be on Wii U. All Pikmin games are console titles and the NX is too far away, though it might get an NX version too.
