“There are two sides to me today,” Shigeru Miyamoto told attendants to Nintendo's E3 roundtable: “The corporate side that wants to follow the precedent we set for E3 of not announcing any titles, and the creative side of me.” That second side prevailed, however, and the producer couldn't resist namedropping an early title for Wii U, an early first-party confirmation for the console and a revival for a series long close to the hearts of fans and Miyamoto alike: a new Pikmin.
GI.Biz writes: Nintendo's GameCube remakes for the Wii will sell at the same price as a normal Wii release, according to retailers. The first two games in the New Play Control! brand are Pikmin and Mario Power Tennis, and have a recommended retail price of GBP 39.99, although online retailers are already slashing prices. Nintendo claims the titles have a RRP of GBP 29.99. The titles will have reworked control support for the unique Wiimote, as well as a few other updated features.
