so let me get this straight banjo, mega man 9, MEETING miyamoto and one of your favorite games gets a sequel. Looks likes dysons adventure paid off.
Yay! I can't wait.. Some of my trust in Nintendo is restored! The laughs are a strange reaction too.. I must agree.
Good! Now, when they announce Kid Icarus, a new Zelda, a sword-fighting game built around the WiiMotionPlus, and a new, much more innovative Mario Party 9.. I will forgive them for that God awful conference.
"Don't forget a new 2D Metroid!"
Hell, while we're at it, Megaman 10-20, released every two months on WiiWare. After that, Capcom starts releasing, in the best of modern sprite graphics, PROTOMAN GAMES!
WOOOT!

Since when did the casual market start watching E3 conferences?? Or why else wouldn't Nintendo announce this during their show??
I really hate that Nintendo just skipped over a lot of this stuff during their press conference. Why couldn't they have just mentioned this during their presentation? Just throw up a screen with the Pikmin 3 logo and confirm it's being worked on. I'm REALLY glad to hear this, and bits of info like this could have made their conference somewhat less lackluster. But I guess if he danced around the question a bit they're holding off a big announcement for something later.
Between this, and some of the stuff discussed in IGN's interview I have this to say:
WHY DIDN'T HE TALK ABOUT THIS STUFF AT THE CONFERENCE?!
Also, don't you think Miyamoto is a lot shorter than you think he will be? I saw him GDC a few years ago and couldn't believe how short he is.

Nintendo, I'm really glad that you are still the company that made the Gamecube but please could you show it off a little more? We should've have to specifically ask for stuff like this.
Stop playing to the press basically. None of the grannies or soccer moms you assume the Wii's primary audience to be are tracking the E3 coverage as obsessively as your core fanbase are.

@Faceless: Probably because the question was off the record?
I really hope they have something more to show (or say!) at TGS on it.

I actually thought the controls in Okami were very good, but well, whatever.
I'm happy as fuck to know about this, i just don't understand why he didnt mention it at the conference.
If he had talked about this, Madworld and the other third party titles coming out, like Mushroom and The Conduit, and more about the "Zelda & Mario teams are working", the conference would have been so much better.

I think they found it funny because ...
[7:36 PDT The next questioner asks about Nintendo's commitment to core titles, and asks if Miyamoto is still interested in making another Pikmin, something he's mentioned in the past.
7:36 PDT Eguchi asks what a "core user" is supposed to be. His own definition is someone who likes games, whatever they like to play. That's who he makes games for, and he says all games regardless of genre have the potential to appeal to the core, and the people who play his games are his core users.
7:37 PDT Miyamoto stands up and starts to leave the stage, which draws laughs. After sitting back down, he gets to the Pikmin question. He talks about sitting as close as possible to his staffers, some who worked on Zelda and Pikmin. He refers to Eguchi's answer and says "core games" is just as mercurial a term as "core gamers," then says they continue investigating all types of games.
7:37 PDT "So when it's time to announce such a title, I'll announce it. So please look forward to it."
7:38 PDT He adds, "We're making Pikmin."]
A minute after he gave a typical PR "when it's done," he just blurts out "OH YEAH WE MAKIN PIKMANS!"

Miyamoto has been spouting off comments about all the core titles Nintendo is working on right and left, which is great, but I'm wondering why none of this was brought up at their press conference.
y'know this would have been an excellent thing to say at the Press Conference...now it feels like damage control as a means of fixing one of the worst E3 conferences I've seen. Kinda like Reggie runs up to Miyamoto and says..."people kinda responded negatively towards the conference, can you say or mention something about the Pikmin thing to get them to calm down?"
It's the only game that would make me buy a Wii.
I was a Nintendo fanboi all the way up untill the Wii was born... I just thought "WTF?", I hate everything about it and it broke my heart as I loved my Snes & N64 for the quality of games.
Motion control... urgghhh! I'm fat, lazy & proud.

I ran and danced around with my shirt off upon hearing this news, I can assume you did the same Chad?
I don't think Miyamoto showed it off is probably because they may have just started work on it, had he started a couple months earlier we could of had a trailer and the conference would have been better received.
Non-Pikmin related question: Was I the only one hoping they would have shown off Sam & Max when they were talking about third party support? I genuinely thought they would show it, it seems like something Miyamoto would enjoy in my opinion.
Back to running around without a shirt!

Pikmin is one of the most shamelessly fun creations ever to grace my life. While I'd adore the idea of a Pikmin 3, and I do, I need to acquire a copy of Pikmin 2 first, and they're about as rare as games that are as good as Pikmin.
PIKMIN! PIKMIIIIIIIN!
I really don't understand what happened during the press conference. Perhaps it was too frightening for casual players to have any of the big Nintendo franchises mentioned.

I'm pretty sure the harpy who droned on about her wrist injuries and ugly children planned Nintendo's E3 conference - I don't want to believe that Miyamoto, Iwata or Reggie could be that out of touch.
They didn't even mention Pikmin at their press conference, so I doubt it's coming any time soon. They mentioned they were making a new Smash Bros. at E3 2005 and it didn't come out until 2008.
It needs to have the following features: Classic Controller support, Online Play (cooperative and competitive), at least two new types of Pikmin, and the ability to do this:
The Wii version has a new Pikmin breed.
The golden Super Sayain Pikmin. It punches holes through those buck-toothed ladybug frogs.

I told people that Nintendo wouldn't disappoint at E3. The press conference is always just bullshit and bravado. You might get a "Halo IV in 6 years" announcement but you get a lot of the real meat later on. Then again, I'm just looking for release date info/North American release confirmation on a few games as opposed to more announcements since I'm already way out of affordable range for the games I want.
