Miyamoto says Pikmin 4 is still in development

Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto confirmed that the company is still working on Pikmin 4, which has been in development for a few years now.

But with Zelda: Breath of the Wild and the NX taking up vast majority of resources at the company, Pikmin 4 isn’t a top priority right now.

“We’re working on [Pikmin 4]. So, you know, when we’re in development we have to create a list of priorities and it has been hard to kind of fit that into that list, but we’re hopefully starting to see that on the list now.”, Miyamoto told GameRant.

Almost a year ago, Miyamoto said that Pikmin 4 was “almost done”. Which turned out to be false, as the game would have been released by now, even by Nintendo standards.

Pikmin 3 was released on the Wii U three years ago in July 2013. Considering that the NX is launching in March 2017, it’s unlikely that Pikmin 4 will be released on the Wii U.
