Pikmin 3 will go back to the series' 'stressful' roots when it arrives on Wii U, says its creator Shigeru Miyamoto.

Well, I myself couldn't agree with that direction perfectly," admitted Miyamoto. "That kind of nature of Pikmin 1 was exactly what I wanted to reproduce and I was actually intentionally doing so, so that Pikmin 1 could be a strategic game.
"When we started creating Pikmin 3 I gathered the main members who worked on Pikmin 2 and talked about how I thought it was important to get back to the basics of Pikmin 1. Or I should say that half of my job at that time wasn't just to talk, but rather to persuade them to understand what I intended to do and to agree to my idea."
The highly anticipated strategy game has been delayed until the second quarter of the 2013 calendar year (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/382183/pikmin-3-release-date-delayed-beyond-march/), Nintendo confirmed in December.
