Ono’s LinkedIn profile lists two unannounced games. One was in development for Wii while the other is listed as an RPG. At this point, we can only assume that the Wii title was cancelled.

A Treasured Nintendo Classic Arrives on the Wii System
The second game in the fan-favorite Pikmin franchise originally launched for the Nintendo GameCube console in 2004. Now Wii users can enjoy the imaginative fun of this classic and colorful mass action strategy game, now available at a suggested retail price of just $19.99 as part of the value-minded, family-friendly Nintendo Selects series. The brave Captain Olimar has returned to marshal new types of Pikmin in a wild, open-ended adventure. On a mission to pay back his employer’s debt, Olimar and his sidekick Louie must command squads of tiny Pikmin to help locate valuable treasures, exploring mysterious environments and battling pesky enemies along the way. Players of any experience level can use the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers to command these curious creatures and complete their mission. The game also invites friends to deviously pit their Pikmin squads against one another in a rough and ruthless two-player mode*.
