I didn't think it was. If NX really is a tablet like device, i cant see nintendo passing on the opportunity to make a touch controlled Pikmin for it.

Ohhhh. Maybe this Spin-off happened because of that. Maybe they were excercising how to give Pikmin touch controls, realized they could make a 3DS game out of it and farmed it off to a smaller studio to work on.

Someone on the Gamexplain disscussion said that the game felt wierdly reminiscent of early DS games that were catered to showcase the systems capabilities and made everything touch controlled. That's curious for a game coming this late in a legacy systems life, but makes sense if they were really toying around with NX capabilities.

Hah. I didn't even think of that. It is really strange to see a 3DS game that's played primarily on the bottom screen. I figured they just didn't see the need to push the whole "3D" thing with every game anymore because the system is on its way out at this point, but what you say makes a lot of sense.
