Legendary games designer Shigeru Miyamoto has stated that he’s currently enjoying working on Pikmin 3 for their forthcoming home console, Nintendo Wii U. Here is what he had to say about the title:

“Originally, I was making Pikmin 3 to be launched on the Wii platform. Because the Wii U is capable of HD quality pictures, and will be accompanied by the subscreen on your hand. I thought that I would be able to make a Pikmin that was closer to my ideal. I am now actually enjoying myself, working on the game.”

The Pikmin series always looked incredible and I cannot imagine how it will look with full HD graphics. More as it develops.

The following quote should be considered a rumor as of right now but apparently the Nintendo Wii U will have more to offer than what was shown at E3. Be sure to read the full quote below and let me know what you think:

What we saw last E3 is not a reflection of everything this console is able to offer. We have been trying the development kits and some of its new characteristics will improve its possibilities. It isn’t something like Kinect or similar accessories, it’s something different.

I can’t tell you more about it because, if I do, Nintendo will send assassins to finish me! (laughs) But let’s say that Wii U will be a console with so many and unique possibilities that it will be difficult to show them in the box they are going to sell it or to be published by magazines and other mediums.

I think it would be amazing if Nintendo had another few tricks up its sleeve in regards to their next home console and E3 2012 will be interesting to say the least. Stay tuned.

Here is a breathtaking Wii U – Tokyo Street Demo from CES (originally shown at E3). The demo is very impressive and I am very excited to see the full reveal of Nintendo’s next home console and am very interested to see what the big N has up their sleeves.

Be sure to check out the video and let me know what you think.

Check out this tweet Geoff Keighley tweeted a short while ago:

“Don’t miss #CESONSPIKE this Tuesday. The big man, Reggie from Nintendo, joins me live to discuss why he thinks 2012 is the year of Wii-U.”

While it will probably be typical PR jargon, I am praying that Nintendo divulges at least something about their forthcoming system. Needless to say, I will be watching Spike TV this Tuesday at 4.

What do you guys think?

Here are some brand new screens of Darksiders 2 for your viewing pleasure. The game is coming along very nicely and I am eager to see how the Wii U version differs from its HD counterparts. Check out the screens:
