New play control: Pikmin 2 came out on the Wii back in 2009 here in the UK so maybe it's just a US/Candian release (at last)
Is there any gaming convention/announcement ceremony coming up soon? Because I REALLY need an announcement trailer for Pikmin 3 to at least assure me that they are working on it.
Really? The US doesn't have this yet? Huh. I thought it just came out before we got it, that's normally what happens...
last summer, I was at a flea market here in chicago......I found an original sealed copy of the first pikmin for gamecube....the guy sold it to me four 3 bucks....just thought i'd share ;)
I'm gonna be the (as of writing this) third person writing this comment:
What, NPC! Pikmin 2 isn't out in the US? I bought both the second and first game this summer... The game industry be weird, yo.

Pikmin 3 please please please. Every time I tell my wife about a new pikmin 3 bit of news, she feels like I'm just making it up anymore. Enough! Game please!
Whoa, I didn't realize that Pikmin 2:NPC came out in Europe. Just more confirmation that NoE > NoA.
Did you guys get Chibi Robo: NPC too?

It seems likely that this is just NPC Pikmin 2. Nintendo, while not yet given up on Pikmin, doesn't seem likely to give Pikmin 3 thought yet.
How did I own a Gamecube for five years (and a Wii for four years) and still somehow have never played a Pikmin game? Maybe I ought to change this sometime soon.
@ KingSigy- I must disagree with you, sir. Nintendo has been working on Pikmin 3 for years, probably for as long as they've been working on their next home console.
I agree that this isn't how it would be announced though.

@Jonathan Holmes:
Sadly we did not get any Chibi Robo NPC love :-( as far as I'm aware the NPC games releases in Europe were:
Pikmin 1 & 2
Mario Power Tennis
Donkey Kong Jungle Beat
and Metroid Prime Trilogy (if that counts)

O_O I didn't even know HMV was still around. They sell mega over-priced music CDs and DVDs. Not to mention I had no idea they sold games..Hurry up on Pikmin 3, big N!!
Pikmin 3 development history: (according to Shigeru Miyamoto)
- Miyamoto hints at the franchise's next appearance back in July 2007.
- Miyamoto confirms development of the game on July 2008.
- Miyamoto said the "basics" of the game being nearly complete at E3 2009.
- Miyamoto said Pikmin 3 is "well underway & for the Wii." on March 2010.
- Miyamoto said "Among my present promises, I have to finish Pikmin quickly, so production is progressing extremely well."

Even though I'm just now getting to the Pikmin series, I'm loving the hell out of it so far. If the second game improves as much on the first as everyone is telling me, than Pikmin 3 had better happen soon. Because I don't think these two games is enough to satisfy my Pikmin hunger.
Don't think this makes headline news, but hey, it's Pikmin 2, which I've played on the gamecube AND the Wii already.
@ Hiltz- Holy crap, you've done your research. The only thing I'd ad is when Miyamoto said that Pikmin would benefit from HD, but that some other series (Nintendogs maybe?) would not.
As soon as I heard that, I started to presume that Pikmin 3 would be on Nintendo's next home console.

Oh, the last comment from Miyamoto that I listed is from July 2010.
@ Jonathan Holmes - Yeah, your right about that other comment. It was said back in October 2009 if I'm not mistaken.There's one other comment Miyamoto had stated about why Pikmin 3 wasn't at E3 2010. He just said that there were too many other games announced that probably would have stolen its thunder.

@ Jonathan Holmes - Sadly no NPC version of Chibi-Robo, I was desperately waiting for that announcement. Although, all will be forgiven if they they localize Chibi-Robo DS 2 (and Tingle's Balloon Trip of Love would be nice too, but I think we'd be lucky enough to get Chibi-Robo).
play pikmin 1 for a couple of days years ago but i didn't really enjoy as much....needless to say, i didn't finish it. never played pikmin 2.
