This information comes from Shigeru Miyamoto…

“As we have been working on the Wii U hardware I have been thinking that it is the perfect system for Pikmin, so we are going to make it on that. Because we have been working on Pikmin on Wii for a while, maybe it won’t take too long for it to be finished.”

I could see Pikmin Wii U being a launch title at this point. Even though it wouldn’t be a system-seller like Mario, it’d be nice to finally see the plant creatures return and get some time in the spotlight. Besides, it’s been way too long since Pikmin 2 was released.

Even though Nintendo’s conference is over, E3 hasn’t ended. In fact, it’s just begun! Expect a ton of additional news as well as previews and who knows what else throughout the day. Also, Nintendo is hosting a second roundtable later tonight for the Wii U, so you might want to tune in for that! It’ll kick off at 5:30 PM PDT / 8:30 PM EDT assuming it starts on time.

Back to the old (or should I say new?) gallery system. Had some issues, but they’ve been fixed. Sorry about the crummy galleries we had to use earlier!

Check out this little tidbit from a Kotaku article…

“‘We’re considering our options with maybe two screens,’ Eguchi told Kotaku, who said he considers multiple New Controller games to be ‘an interesting idea.’ That would mean games that used two new Wii U controllers. Eguchi’s five-player prototype, here at E3, has one person using a new controller and four other people using Wii Remote-Nunchuck combos.”

Okay… this kind of contradicts what the Nintendo spokesperson said about controllers not being sold separately. If games with two controllers are made available, how will we be able to purchase the second controller?

This information comes from a Nintendo spokesperson…

“Both the controller and the console will be sold as one unit. You won’t be able to buy the controller alone.”

Well, that does kind of sound odd to me. The tech demos at this point have only featured one tablet controller, but does this mean we won’t see any multi-tablet games in the future?
