Pikmin 3 may be a Wii game.

In 2003 Miyamoto said in an interview he already had the basic premise for Pikmin 3[1]

Cubed 3 news ran an April fools joke in 2006 stating that Pikmin 3 would be a launch title for the Revolution (Wii)[2]

Later in April Spong news asserted that according to its press contacts Pikmin 3 would appear on the Wii at some point (probably some time after the launch) [3]

Officially Nintendo are yet to announce a sequel however they have hinted at their desire to create one in an interview on Pikmin 2 [4]

A Possible Pikmin 3

In an interview with Shigeru Miyamoto, the interviewer asked if he planned to do anything with Pikmin in the following article:[5]

July 12, 2007 - Every time we chat with Nintendo's famous producer, Shigeru Miyamoto, we bring up at least one franchise we'd like to see remade for the company's current-generation console. It used to be Metroid. Then it was Kid Icarus. And most recently, it's become Pikmin. When quizzed on the subject, Miyamoto all but revealed that another Pikmin was in development for Wii.

"I certainly don't think we've seen the last of Pikmin," he said. "I definitely would like to do something with them, and I think the Wii interface in particular is very well suited to that franchise."

Of course, he did not divulge any further specifics, but it seems to be a safe bet that we'll see the return of the Pikmin franchise on Wii at some point in the future.

Though he didn't fully announce it, it is safe to assume that a Pikmin 3 will appear on the Wii. Whether the game is in development or not is unknown.

Olimar in SSBB

The announcement that Olimar is in Super Smash Bros. Brawl for the Wii may increase the likelihood of a third Pikmin game being released.

What I think would Be cool for Pikmin 3 on Wii

New Pikmin types: Orange- Orange Pikmin are covered in large spikes and are immune to being eaten. If an enemy eats the Pikmin, the enemy is injured, and the Pikmin is spit out. These Pikmin can still be injured by any other means. They would be found after the Purples but before the Whites(assuming the order of finding is the same as Pikmin 2). Blacks: Black Pikmin are black in color and have medium sized wings growing from their back. At any moment, the player can press the 1 button and the Pikmin will fly the pilots anf squad of Pikmin upward for a few seconds. You find Black Pikmin last.

Control:

Movements:

Thrusting the wii remote upward would cause the pilot to pluck a pikmin from the ground while pressing A. Making an arcing movement over your head would cause the player to throw the pikmin. Making a punching motion while holding the b trigger would make the pilot punch (when no Pikmin are following). Point at the screen to aim a cursor to show where the Pikmin will be thrown.

Buttons:

D-Pad- Use sprays(two new ones added. 2 button- Switch between captains Analog stick- move captain C button along with circleing the cursor around an object- huddle pikmin around the object.

Multiplayer:

3 players off or online(Pikmin one only had one player, Pikmin 2 had two player, so Pikmin 3 will have 3 player.

Story: A mass virus breaks out on Olimars planet and he and two others barely escape in a space ship. Olimar, knowing about all the plant life on the Pikmin planet, decides to go there to get some plants to mix up a cure for the virus. Upon arriving, the three realize that the creatures have stolen all the needed plants and Olimar must recruit the Pikmin to help him.
