Nearly a year ago, Shigeru Miyamoto said that Nintendo were making a new Pikmin game, not just the New Play Control! Versions. When asked why Pikmin 3 was not announced at E3 2009, Shigeru replied that Pikmin 3 is going to take some time to make and be announced due to the lack of team members creating it. Pikmin 3 may not be announced until E3 2010 or even E3 2011.

I'm sorry, Unfortunately we haven't been able to expand the team size very much, because we've been working on so many different games that we've shown off at the show. So the team is working very hard, but it's a bit of a small team.
