Miyamoto Apologizes for No Pikmin

All I'm saying is that reason there was no Pikmin was the same reason that there was no Zelda.

That's lame that people are pissed. I wish people were more forgiving. At least they are in the works.

Yes, I do actually. They have five teams in house teams, as in the guys who work on stuff like Mario, Pikmin, and Zelda, and then they have 1 task force team making the brain age games, and 4 Special Development teams who work with other companies, so not Pikmin or Zelda but their top string SPD team is confirmed for working on Metroid.

oh ok, so right now, there are only 5 teams for right working on these certain games (Pikmin, zelda, mario, other stuff)

I wonder why they have to get a special task force just to make metroid, i guess they wanted to make the game really good.

Yeah plus the SPD teams work with other companies. Like, the work with Intelligent systems and Retros studios.

I don't really see why you need to complain when a new Zelda game and 2 new Mario games got announced at E3...

Well, was a Zelda really announced? Spirit Tracks was confirmed before, and the Wii one isn't much talk.

Besides, New Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario Galaxy were kinda meh.

well it was confirmed last year and this its just miyamoto showing a poster
and saying the developtment team is far in developtement

so i believe thats enough proof that this game was announced

a short 50 second demo would have been nice though

i never played pikmin but thay did just come out with pikmin " new play control " so thats probly why that didnt relese it

[wolfpaw]

Well at least I know that they are going to be working on it now. It was annoying when they decided to release the old one with new controls. I didn't even buy it, seemed like a total waste of cash. I can understand why they would work on bigger titles instead of Pikmin, but I have been really looking forward to a cool preview. Oh well I guess it's back to waiting.

sorry, i read the title wrong. i thought it meant miyamoto says sorry to no pikmin, no matter what other ppl say. hes not gonna apologize for his actions. lol

im a big fan of pikmin. i liked both and i wished there was a 3rd one coming out soon

[Darkmario66]

pikmin never failed me ,so too speak but , why another pikmin game i could only imagine what the storyline would be
