Nearly finished for me means 2016. game even if Miyamoto said it, and it not like any thing Miyamoto said its lie or not true, like I wrote, Miyamoto isn't different than any other developer on market in that matter.

TP HD is March game and we seeint just now, only 3-4 months before it will be released. Wii U will be another whole year on market, don't think that Nintendo announced already they have for Wii U or 3DS, one of those games is probably Pikmin 4.

Maybe will come on Wii U and NX, but I think it will came on Wii U in any case.

Anything that's far enough out not to have been shown is probably moved to NX; Nintendo suffered badly at Wii U's launch from not having enough software ready, and they'll want to stop this happening again. If it comes down to a choice between supporting Wii U, and supporting NX, they'll choose the one that isn't a lost cause.

Again, in my opinion, they should support Wii U as best they can to build consumer trust going forwards.

I'm not saying what I want to happen here, I'm saying what I fear will happen.

Agree, but again they can somewhow satisfy Wii U owner and prepare big NX projecets, like I wrote Pikmin 4 would be fast and with a little resource project on Wii U.

In my opinion, if they support Wii U best they can do, that would very effect on NX launch games. I think they supported Wii U best they could, but because Wii U sales and preparing NX console they just shoreted that support for around one year, and that why this year we will have in most cases ports, small projects, spin offs and games that are much earlier announced and not new big announcements.

One thing's for sure, we'll both be a lot happier if you're right.

But at this point, I just don't have your faith in Nintendo.

Time will tell.

I have faith, and I totally understand what they are doing last year or two, and I think I can predict some their steps that are very obvious for me.

Before this E3 it seemed obvious that they'd announce major new Wii U titles, but that turned out to be a false hope. I am now much more wary of letting optimism set me up for disappointment.

Yes, after E3 it clear that Nintendo is gearing for NX with big titles wihle WiiU/3DS will get smaller projects, ports and spinoffs, but Pikmin 4 for Wii U wouldnt be big project because reason I already mentioned, even would be again "big game".

You're correct that they can save a bunch of time and resources by reusing some assets from Pikmin 3, but the game still won't be a low budget title, as it will still require quite a bit of work. It won't be "big" in the same way as Zelda or Xenoblade, but it'll be a bigger investment than Mario Tennis or Amiibo Fetsival.

Definitely will be bigger project than Mario Tennis and Amiibo Festival, game would be considered like A game, but not if look time or resources they need to make it.

For Pikmin 4 they already have almost everything in Pikmin 3 that can be reused, basically they need just to make new levels, few new enemies and bosses and one or tho new mehanics. We had DLC with new levels for Pikmin 3 only few months after Pikmin 3 launch. Saying all that I think they could make Pikmin 4 for Wii U in around one year, Miyamotoo said that game is near finished around E3 that means that they probably start working on game somwere in second half of 2014.

If it was that far along, we would have seen it by now.

No we wouldn't see if it's not game for beginning of 2016, Wii U have pretty big number of games for first half of 2016. for now. Also Miyamoto said around E3 that game is almost complete but Nintendo didnt wanted to showed it on E3, because they said they showing only games that are coming in next 6-9 months.

Anything major game for the second half of 2016 will have been put on NX to bolster its launch lineup, I reckon.
