How much time has passed since the Miyamoto statement about Pikmin 4 near completion? Just show a trailer already! Hope they're taking that time to make this thing huge.

Here's the timeline

July 2015 - Miyamoto states Pikmin 4 is very close to completion

"It's actually very close to completion," Miyamoto said. "Pikmin teams are always working on the next one."

July 2016 - Miyamoto stated Pikmin was delayed for other priorities

"Yes, you are right, and we’re working on [Pikmin 4]. So, you know, when we’re in development we have to create a list of priorities and it has been hard to kind of fit that into that list, but we’re hopefully starting to see that on the list now."

Here are my thoughts: Miyamoto did the same thing with Pikmin 3. He stated it was happening at E3 2008, then we didn't see it until E3 2012 and then it released in 2013. Miyamoto did the same thing for Wii Sports Resort with golf. Miyamoto said it was going to be there in an interview, and the team had to add it. I expect Miyamoto was doing the same here. His second comment makes it sound as if it hasn't even entered development. My guess is that if it does exist, it was held off for a 2D Mario game which, IIRC, the same team does.

Thanks!

Bold: Idk, it would be pretty contradictory with his first interview.

I don't think he was talking about Pikmin "4" at all, but rather Hey Pikmin or whatever that 3DS game is called.

He precisely talks about the Pikmin team.

Hey! Pikmin isn't being developed by them
