Nintendo pushes Pikmin 3 out of spring line-up

If you've been waiting with bated breath to feedPikmin 3,Game & Wario, andThe Wonderful 101into your Wii U's disc drive, well, keep waiting. Nintendo's pushed all three, as well asWii Fit U, out of the November-to-March "launch window" and into sometime in the first half of 2013.

It's not all bad news, though. Lego City: Undercover will arrive on Wii U come March 18, and we honestly don't know how to measure that against its previous date set in "the first part of [2013]." That's the idea, we suppose. Its 3DS prequel, Lego City Undercover: The Chase Begins, will release on April 21.

Monster Hunter 3: Ultimate's release on Wii U and 3DS has been narrowed down to March 19, and both Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon and Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity will land the week after on March 24.

I got a BA in journalism from Central Michigan University - though the best education I received there was from CM Life, its student-run newspaper. Long before that, I started pursuing my degree in video games by bugging my older brother to let me play Zelda on the Super Nintendo. I've previously been a news intern for GameSpot, a news writer for CVG, and now I'm a staff writer here at GamesRadar.
