booo...
I just saw in a video on the Nintendo E3 network that Miyamoto said he really wanted to release Pikmin 3 this year but was blown away by the shiny new HD graphics...

me am sad

Well just imagine how amazing the environments in Pikmin will look in 1080p :)

If that's not enough to really get you excited about it, just think how much better the new tabled controller interface will be for the gameplay rather than using the Wiimote.  And considering the fact that we know that Pikmin 3 has been in the works for several years now, it's a pretty high possibility that it could be one of the Wii U's launch titles or launch not too long after the system's release.

As for other possible launch titles, I can tell you right now we're not getting Smash for launch... Nintendo will probably wait a bit for the Wii U's install base to grow a bit so they can launch both the Wii U and 3DS versions of the game simultaneously sometime in 2013 probably.

Thing is I'm not too keen on waiting even longer to play a game that is almost finished, let alone alone spend on all new hardware for it.

There is practically nothing left for Wii besides Zelda and Kirby... Ending this gen with a whimper is not the kind of experience that'll convince me to spend $300 or more on another Nintendo system, that may or may not live up to its potential.
