Now, we already had an idea that they were on their way, but Miyamoto-san himself has confirmed the development of both Pikmin 2 and Mario 128. Little is known about the two titles, but Miyamoto did say this about Mario 128...
"I believe that with this game you'll be able to feel the "newness" that was missing from Mario Sunshine."

Maybe by newness he means Pikmin with little Marios (i.e.128 of them) incorporating both of the games into one sequel.
I doubt it, but it's an idea ;)

me thinks that Pikmin 2 will be longer, and now you will be able to take over the WORLD!!!!!

SEVEN JAPANESE COMPANIES. FORMING TO MAKE ONE GAME.
Two of Nintendo's big franchises have new games in development, according to a recent interview in Japan's Weekly Playboy magazine (they have a small black and white games section). In the interview, when asked about what's next from the company, producer Shigeru Miyamoto comments, "'Pikmin 2' and the 'Mario 128' game that was shown at the [Gamecube] unveiling are both in development." Miyamoto elaborates a bit about the latter title, stating "I believe that with this game you'll be able to feel the "newness" that was missing from Mario Sunshine."
We already had a good idea that both games were in development, but it's nice to hear Miyamoto himself actually confirm them. Even better being able to digest the news while looking at pictures of hot Japanese girls in provocative poses (Megumi!).
More as it develops (hopefully through future issues of Playboy).
Anyways, Mario Sunshine didn't lack "newness" as much as it lacked length.
Pikmin likewise - they were both FAR too small.
Hopefully they'll do away with time limits for the main Pikmin adventure, possibly keep them in as a cheatmode for a harder difficulty setting.

"Yes, she's certainly developed nicely!"
Oh....
