Oh Miyamoto, you sly dog. You climb up on stage as we hold our breaths, and then ramble on and on until we drop to the ground gasping for air and wake up in the ICU. And as you saunter off the stage with your award in hand, all of our lung-straining effort appears to have been for naught. No megatons. Not even a tiny white flag that says “boom” on it.

As it turns out, though, good things come in small packages – not rambling speeches. One tiny tweet later, Pikmin 3′s back on the map.

Shigeru Miyamoto said he was “sorry” yesterday for the fact we’re still waiting for a Pikmin 3 reveal.

“I’m sorry,” the developer said, talking at a post-conference event at E3.

“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.”

Two Wii Mario titles and a Team Ninja Wii Metroid game clearly aren’t enough for some.

Thanks, Kotaku.

Speaking with VGChartz, NoA marketing boss Cammie Dunaway told how the company was “disappointed with our performance at E3″ and how she wished Nintendo had announced Pikmin 3 on stage.

“I would say the message is we were disappointed with our performance at E3,” said Dunaway.

“There were titles like Wario which we think will be really fun titles that we should have showcased. We were excited that Mr. Miyamoto made the commitment that Pikmin is coming. It would have been nice if we could have said that on stage.”

However she added Nintendo are still rooting for the hardcore: “But, we think it was a good recognition for us that we care for our core fans, and not just the new people who are now discovering Nintendo.”
