Pikmin 2 was released 3 years after Pikmin 1 and they reused Pikmin 1 engine and assets, most likely they had same plan for Pikmin 4, reusing Pikmin 3 engine and assets and release game for Wii U in 2016, and that perfectly fits with Miymoto statment from last year that Pikmin 4 "is close to completion". But in meantime Wii U died and they move focus to NX, os most likely they move whole project to NX and that means more development time compared to "close to completion" statment.
