Maybe, but if they really want this game for NX launch there is no reason to announcement it now, in that case best choice would be ti announcement with NX revealing, it seems more like a Wii U game or at least like cross platform game.


They haven't announced it, we haven't seen anything yet, they just confirmed it exists and is near completion. Which just adds to my especulation that it'll be for NX. Remember that Pikmin 3 was also in development for the Wii during many, many years, and they just decided to move it to the Wii U.

They announced it/confirmed it, but they didn't revealed it.

What's a point of announcement/confirmation of a game for platform that we still dont know anything official except codename, especially when they still pushing hard 3DS and Wii U!? Nintendo is still keeping all NX ofical infos, so I can't see them announcing/confirming game for NX at all.

On other hand they didn't said that's for Wii U either, that make me believe that Pikmin 4 is maybe cross platform game.

They already have Pikmin 3 engine and lots of assets that they can use in new Pikmin 4 game for Wii U, so basically they can make new Wii U Pikmin game pretty fast and without big budget. Similar like they done Pikmin 1 and Pikmin 2, it's completely same situation.

Pikmin 3 and Pikmin 4 are not same situation, Pikmin 3 was announced in 2008, 3 years later they announced that game is transitioned to Wii U, Pikmin 4 was announced now and we already know that game is almost complete which means that game is 2016. title.

 

It also interesting timing of announcement/confirmation for Pikmin 4, Miyamoto stated this to Eurogamer in July probably right before Iwata died, so probably Nintendo didn't wanted this intervyu to be announced (and few more Eurogamer intervyus too) till now because of Iwata death.

So why in first place Miyamoto announced it/confirmed Pikmin 4 for to Eurogamer in July!? My guess is that after terible E3 and fan disappointment, they wanted to little ensure people that there still be new games for current platforms like Pikmin 4 that is nearly completed even if did not showed it at E3.
