Report: Pikmin 3 "well under way"

Shigeru Miyamoto has reportedly offered an update on development of a third game in cutesy strategy series Pikmin.

The UK's Official Nintendo Magazine tweeted from the BAFTAs on Friday (thanks VG247), "Miyamoto just told us Pikmin 3 development is 'well under way'".

Miyamoto was at the awards ceremony to pick up an Academy Fellowship. He may also have been pleased to see Wii Sports Resort winning a prize.

The last we heard of Pikmin 3 was at E3 in 2008, when Miyamoto told an invite-only audience, "We're making Pikmin."
