also, could be a wii u game for the holiday season.

Was Pikmin confirmed for a home console release? Maybe it's for 3DS? But I'm just spit-balling here, it's most likely an NX launch title that started out as a Wii U title.

I hope they don't continue the tradition of adding a playable character with this one. Switching between four characters would be a bit much I think.

What do you mean also? I talked about that possibility. Doesn't make sense to intentionally not show it at E3 then release same year. That also doesn't explain why they haven't revealed it already and when they're supposed to.

Same logic would still apply. Why wasn't it revealed already, why wasn't it at E3 in a major way, when are they supposed to reveal it.

higher sales. 13mio wii us installed hw base is better then 0 nx installed hw base.

Wii u has also a really great attachment rate. Pikmen 4 could probl sell 500k on wii u, so could be worth porting.

Unless there's multiplayer! Each player controlling two captains has already been done in Pikmin 3's Bingo Battle. Applying that to story mode will be more of a challenge but should be possible.

Would need two campaigns then like Portal 2.

That's exactly why it'll be NX exclusive, to better help grow the NX base, that matters more than maybe a few hundred thousand extra sales for the game.

Pikmen is not a franchise to sell consoles. Pikmen 3 on wii u just prooved that. I highly doubt it would have an significant impact.

Its not like people wont get the nx JUST because they can play pikmen 4 also on the wii u, thats mainly for persons who wont buy the nx in its first year.

Look at how great games like destiny, watch dogs and co did on the ps3, even with a ps4 version co existing. It it doesnt hurt the ps4 at all.

Well they say that the NX is not a successor to the WiiU...whatever that means.
