The Pikmin series currently consists of two games, Pikmin and Pikmin 2 (and their counterparts in the New Play Control! range on the Nintendo Wii), with a third in production. Both games have been scored well by critics, the sequel generally higher than Pikmin. There have been a number of rumours in the past concerning a Pikmin 3 being in production for the Wii U, and on July 15, 2008 at a private conference, Shigeru Miyamoto confirmed that Pikmin 3 is in production. During E3 2012, Pikmin 3 was officially announced for the Wii U. The total number of sales for the series is approximately 3.78 million [1]. It has now been announced that Pikmin 3 is in production, and previews have been released. At E3 2012, Pikmin 3 was discussed and could be tried out; a challenge mode in which the new leader is to collect fruit with red and the new rock Pikmin, and the other mode being a boss battle against the Armored Mawdad. The new game in the series will be released in the Q2 of 2013 in the US and Europe, and sometime in Spring for Japan

Elements from the series also play parts in a number of other Nintendo games, most notably Super Smash Bros. Brawl, in which Captain Olimar is a playable character, as well as a Pikmin stage and multiple music tracks, stickers, and trophies.
