Does anyone else not want Pikmin 3 to be the big announcement at E3?

I feel the same way. Pikmin is awesome and all...but it's not really bigger then Punch Out even IMO. It's just not really that epic and we're already expecting it. x.o

This is actually very true. Even though Punch-Out!! has been pretty much dead for a very long time(until now), Pikmin still isn't a bigger brandname. Pikmin is definitely one of Nintendo's lesser franchises, and unless they're planning on marketing it to death and turn it into a really big franchise (which I severely doubt), they wouldn't try and have it as their big E3 announcement. And, as stated earlier, we also already know about the game.

I hate to say it but Pikmin would be kind of third rate for Nintendo hype IMO.

1st rate - Mario, Zelda
2nd rate - Metroid, Kirby
3rd rate - Pikmin, Fire Emblem (Great series, Epic love from Fans but it won't be for everyone. Only reason that's in this rating. :p)
4th rate - Post-Rare DK

Pretty good rating, though there are lots of other series that should be included too. Though this list serves it purpose so it doesn't need to be any bigger :p
