Mario won’t be the only Nintendo IP making an appearance on the Wii U at this year’s E3. Nintendo has also confirmed today that Pikmin 3 will finally be shown on the new console in June.

Nintendo said in a statement:

“In a recent interview, Mr. Miyamoto confirmed that a new Pikmin game will be shown at the E3 Expo in June. He believes that anyone who has played Pikmin games in the past will enjoy playing.”

Pikmin has been dormant for nearly a decade. The last game in the series, Pikmin 2, made it out for the GameCube in 2004.

Nintendo – specifically Shigeru Miyamoto – has teased Pikmin 3 for several years (see here, here, here… and here). We’ll be seeing the project at long last!

I have to admit: I’ve got a bit of a soft spot for musicals. I was brought up on Broadway shows and even local productions.

So I guess you could say I have an biased opinion when I say that the above video is incredible. A fan has taken the events of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and mushed them into a four-minute musical. There’s some nice 2D pixel animation, the voice performances aren’t too shabby, and it has some enjoyable humor (though some of it isn’t suited for small children…).

Have a look for yourself above!

Frozenbyte’s Joel Kinnunen isn’t ruling out a Wii U version of Trine 2. In fact, Kinnunen said that “Wii U would make for a nice platform” for the game.

According to Kinnunen:

“Thanks for the suggestion. We are keeping a close eye on all current and upcoming platforms, and we will bring Trine 2 to more platforms in the future… Wii U would make for a nice platform, that’s for sure, the tablet would fit Amadeus perfectly indeed. We can’t really disclose any ‘real’ info because that’s all covered by legal confidentiality agreements and the like… But let’s see how it goes. : )”

If Trine 2 does come to Wii U, it’ll probably be brought to the system as a digital download. The game was released on the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Marketplace late last year.
