Pikmin is coming to Wii U, said Shigeru Miyamoto at the E3 2011 developer presentation.
The game was worked on for Wii for several years, but recently, the next Pikmin game is indeed coming to Nintendo's next system. It is likely that it will be a launch title, or at least close to launch.

Sadness. I was really hoping to see this on Wii.

Ripping this game away from the Wii and diverting it to the Wii-U is like taking food from a beggar who is dying of starvation and then giving it to someone who isn't even born yet. And needless to say, since this game spent years under development for the Wii when it comes to the Wii-U we're all going to have to put up with Ian bitching about how much it "looks like a GC game".
But I guess this answers the question of why there aren't going to be any Wii games for the rest of the year other than Zelda: They have all been canceled and diverted to the Wii-U instead.
