Miyamoto confirms Pikmin 3

In a press roundtable held behind closed doors at E3, Shigeru Miyamoto confirmed that a new Pikmin title is in development.  Unfortunately though, the confirmation only came when he made a passing mention that “We’re making Pikmin”.  He gave no other details, images, or even what platform it is being made for, but I think it’s safe to assume that it will be on Wii, as Wii Remote control would be perfect.
