IGN: One of those GCN rereleases for Wii is Pikmin. We just want to clarify that this is not Pikmin 3 that Miyamoto referenced at E3 2008.

Cammie Dunaway: It’s not the Pikmin that Mr. Miyamoto referred to, no. Mr. Miyamoto referred to a new Pikmin, as opposed to the classics that are being rereleased on Wii

Good to hear. So we are getting Pikmin 3 after all. Guessing that they’re making an emphasis on the re-release of Pikmin to get some exposure for the brand for when Pikmin 3 is released.
