Miyamoto Tested Out Pikmin On Wii, Nintendo 3DS And Nintendo DS

Shigeru Miyamoto has revealed that he had spent countless hours testing out the next instalment of the long-awaited Pikmin franchise on the Nintendo 3DS, Wii and the Nintendo DS. It wasn’t until the prospect of Wii U came along that he decided to scrap the Wii version and make Pikmin 3 exclusively for Wii U.

“And at the same time we were also trying out different experiments on the DS and the 3DS and the Wii to see which platform the game would work best on. We had decided on Wii when the possibility of putting it on the Wii U became available, as we began to see what that framework was going to look like. At that time we definitely decided, okay, this is going to be much better on Wii U.”

      1. WHO THE FUCK IS THIS GUY AND WHY IS LUCK ONLY LEFT FOR HEAVEN? seems discriminatory. i’m sure other people can also provide luck. why not outsource it?

        1. He’s the guy who created Mario, The Legend of Zelda, Donkey Kong, StarFox (Lylat Wars), Nintendogs, Pikmin, F-Zero, Metroid Prime series, Kid Icarus, Ice Climer (NES), Mother (Earthbound 1), Wave Race, Pilotwings, Killer Instinct, even Super Smash Bros. and Pokemon Red and Blue version. Additionally, he has worked on over 200 games, such as Mario Kart, Mario Party and Punch Out!!. He’s the reason Nintendo was able 2 market the Donkey Kong arcade machine in America, as well as the guy backing some of the designs of Nintendo’s handhelds and consoles and ideologies. Simply look up his name into Google, and just read about this guy. Im sure you will be surprised.

        1. Maybe they’re come out woth one on 3DS in the future… He tried it out so there must be the frame work for it at least.

  1. I do think he should make a 3ds version too. That would be great. I can see myself on the road playing pikman. Sooo epic

  2. I don’t know much about Pikimin, but from what I’ve seen, it’d probably look pretty amazing on the 3DS. They should really consider that.

  4. and he made the correct decision, just like with metroid (metroid 64) when it was going to be released on n64 but scrapped it and made it for gcn. this is why Miyamoto is a legend.

  5. 5 YEARS! 5 BLOODY YEARS I WAITED FOR PIKMIN 3 AND NOW ITS ON A DIFFERENT SYSTEM!? Nintendo really piss me off sometimes; it would not have been so bad though if wii owners had not been teased about this game for so long.
