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.

While I agree that better graphics are a bonus, I can't see how that will make Pikmin more amazing. And the new controller, while better than a standard pad, how can it be better than the wiimote for this game? As the Wii editions of the previous 2 games proved, the wiimote was perfect for Pikmin.
