Pikmin 3 officially scheduled for Spring 2013

Sorry, Pikmin fans. You’ll have to wait a little bit longer to play the next entry in the series.

The latest Iwata Asks officially confirms that Pikmin 3 is scheduled for Spring 2013.

There’s a little note buried inside the interview:

“Pikmin: The first game in the Pikmin series, released for the Nintendo GameCube system in October 2001. Pikmin 3 is scheduled for release for the Wii U console in the spring of 2013.”

Pikmin 3 was never a launch title for Wii U, but it has been planned for the launch window. So you should be playing it before March or so.
