How is there STILL no new Pikmin game announced for Switch?!?

Pikmin 3 uses the Gamepad perfectly. You quickly get a handle on tapping and swiping even while looking up at the TV, making this quite possibly the best use of the Gamepad in a single-player game. It's not a gimmick or a forced reason to crank your neck down every once in a while, it legitimately augments the experience. This game is the best of its trilogy, and anyone with a Wii U and a fascination for its characters should drop $20 on it instead of picking up the Switch port. That is, if the Wii U eShop isn't closed by the time you read this.
