[Wii U] Miyamoto is enjoying developing Pikmin 3 for Nintendo's new console

Pikmin was a franchise that surprised a lot of fans when it first released on Gamecube all those years ago. It has been a long time since Pikmin 2's release way back in 2004. We know that the long-awaited third installment is being developed for Nintendo's upcoming console, Wii U. Apart from this we haven't seen any footage or artwork from the game, but Miyamoto has emerged to make a comment on how development is proceeding.

“Originally, I was making Pikmin 3 to be launched on the Wii platform,” Miyamoto said in an interview with Entertainment Weekly. “Because the Wii U is capable of HD quality pictures, and will be accompanied by the subscreen on your hand. I thought that I would be able to make a Pikmin that was closer to my ideal. I am now actually enjoying myself, working on the game.”

Miyamoto was originally stepping back from development to a reduced 'Producer' role so he could focus on a new IP, but it appears he is enjoying himself with Pikmin 3 and can't get away from it.
