Okay, so with that kind of power we can actually get 200 Pikmin at the time, bigger and much more detailed landmasses, and even 60FPS?
Heck, yeah! Count me in.

No no no, we already had 200 Pikmin. This would let us see 1000 of them with the same fidelity we saw 200 at before.

No, you could only control 100 at any one time, not 200. 

In fact, rumor had it that Pikmin was actually the realization of the "Mario 128" demo shown at Spaceworld 2000.

In any case, with WiiU powering Pikmin 3 the possibilities increase exponentially.  And it'll all look sooooo good.
