Enhanced Pikmin 2 coming to North America; Pikmin 3 to be unveiled at E3 2012

Three years after release in Japan, Europe and Australia, Nintendo will launch the enhanced Wii port of Pikmin 2 in North America in June. Previously only the original Pikmin received a Wii release with newer, better controls leveraging the Wii remote.¹²

Cynics might conclude that Nintendo is just digging through the Wii library in order to thrust something on shelves during the Wii's death throes. As true as that might be, the release of Pikmin 2 should build brand awareness in preparation for Pikmin 3‘s unveiling for Wii U at E3 2012³.
