Once again coming from the Entertainment weekly interview with Miyamoto.

 

“Originally, I was making Pikmin 3 to be launched on the Wii platform,” Miyamoto told Entertainment Weekly. “Because the Wii U is capable of HD quality pictures, and will be accompanied by the subscreen on your hand. I thought that I would be able to make a Pikmin that was closer to my ideal. I am now actually enjoying myself, working on the game.”
