| Joelcool7 said: Unfortunetly Nintendo has a history of announcing games that never actually see completion, Donkey Kong Racing (GCN) Donkey Kong Wii (TGS 2005), Kirby Wii (E3 2006). We haven't even seen a single screen and Miyamoto often talks about projects that are either in early stages of development or get cancelled. Untill I see some screens and video's I don't have the highest hopes that we'll even see Pikmin3 at all. Pikmin historically has just barely squeked by the million marker and dismal New Control sales may lead to the project getting cancelled. I mean Nintendo has numerous way more successful franchises they can milk rather then releasing Pikmin3. But you never know if its such a small team I would suspect we may see it at the next E3. But as I said lots of games get announced and never seen or heard of again. Since we haven't heard anything in over a year. Don't get your hopes up! |
I severely doubt Nintendo expected the New Play Control-line to light up the charts. The only one that actually did reasonably well is Mario Tennis, though I'm sure all of them made a profit given how cheap they must've been to make.
That said, Donkey Kong Racing got reformed into Barrel Blast, did it not? And they still list Kirby Wii on their release schedules, so it's not canceled (Which is very weird considering we never hear a word about it). If it were canceled they wouldn't keep positng the title on their release schedules.
I severely doubt Pikmin 3 will just disappear, because that would be ... Well, bizarre. And it's not like Nintendo only care about their big sellers, they've developed and published tons of games that didn't sell over 5 million. If they didn't care about Pikmin, they wouldnt've made a second one to begin with, and also not added Olimar to Brawl or make New Play Control-games of Pikmin either.
