Miyamoto confirms Pikmin 3 development

Let's dial the wayback machine to 2008. E3 was in full swing, and Nintendo's in-house deity Shigeru Miyamoto quietly leaks the news that his team was "making Pikmin." Jog ahead one year, and Nintendo releases New Play Control Pikmin -- a port of the GameCube original with controls specially designed for the Wii.

You'll get no complaints from me -- heck, I even included it in my Top 9 of 09 over at Toronto Thumbs. But if they were simply "making Pikmin" and a new Pikmin game came out, that means there probably was no Pikmin 3 to start with ...right?

Not so! The Official Nintendo UK Magazine was harrassing the earthbound god (not to be confused with the Earthbound god Shigesato Itoi) and got confirmation that Pikmin 3 development was "well under way."

Rejoice, fellow flower people! It looks like Captain Olimar has at least one more adventure on his flight manifest after all.
