Pikmin 3 is scheduled for release on Wii U in the spring of 2013, according to the latest Iwata Asks Q&A. Traditionally spring has started on the night of March 20/21, although the Met Office classes the first day of spring as March 1.The platform holder previously confirmed plans to release Pikmin 3 during the Wii U launch window, a period it defined as beginning on November 18, 2012 and ending on March 31, 2013.

Check out the latest batch of Pikmin 3 screenshots. Nintendo has confirmed a Wii U release date of November 18 in the US, and a Wii U release date of November 30 in Europe.
