Pikmin 3 to march to Wii U early 2013

At the latest Iwata Asks session, it was confirmed that Nintendo’s new Wii U real-time strategy entry in the Pikmin franchise will grace our systems on spring 2013. The game falls in Nintendo’s “launch window” for the Wii U, which runs from its November launch to April 2013.

You can play it with either the Wii U GamePad, or Wii MotionPlus controller. Also, the game won’t have any online multiplayer, because, as legendary designer Shigeru Miyamoto said,  an army of small creatures on screen at once would produce syncing problems over the internet.
