We learned over a year ago that a brand new Pikmin game is on Shigeru Miyamoto's plate, and now we have more confirmation from the great man himself: According to the Twitter feed of the Official Nintendo Magazine UK (via Joystiq), they were told by Miyamoto at last night's BAFTA Video Game Awards that development of Pikmin 3 is "well underway."

Unfortunately it seems that's all Miyamoto had to say, so details are still nearly non-existent. We're going to assume this game will be for the Wii (the Wiimote seems such a natural fit for Pikmin's gameplay that Nintendo already remade the first Pikmin for the Wii), but other than that, it's anyone's guess what Pikmin 3 will look or play like -- or when it'll be released. Hopefully Nintendo will have more to show soon, more than likely at E3 in June.
