Pikmin 3

So no day limit. I prefer this. It already looks awesome; the graphics are beautiful.

So, somehow Nintendo has done the impossible and managed to please both the fans and Miyamoto. I am proud of the Pikmin team right now.

They didn't put a cap on the days like in Pikmin 2, yet they still made a challenge against the clock for the group. In order to survive, they need to make sure they have a complete container of fruit juice everyday. That means that it'll probably be a little challenging at first and then from then it shouldn't be bad.

One thing I liked was the fact that the players talk. I think that it would be a lot more interesting in this game now that we can have some dialogue from the characters and share their reactions.

And with the Rock Pikmin, I think that they just get buried in the ground since they are rock and the rock pushed them down.
 
I'm not that big on this game but I think having different it's to please fans of both games as they were both different.
 
So, it seems Rock Pikmin cannot be killed by crushing, or at least by boulders, and are not affected by strong wind.

I wonder if Wing Pikmin have any significant resistances. They are unaffected by water, but they simply float over it and cannot enter it.

Rock Pikmin are just really sturdy. Wing Pikmin are just really agile.

Basically, Wing Pikmin will probably be hard to kill like Rock Pikmin are. Wing Pikmin probably can't be crushed.

I don't remember seeing purple and white pikmins in the video, are they confirmed?

They were shown in a video awhile ago for a few seconds, but I don't know if they will be in the game or at the very least in all modes. I'm hoping that they'll be in the game, but I'm not certain.
 
I know that they have only shown the overworld in the game. I wonder if they are going to put caves in the game. I really liked the caves from Pikmin 2.

If they were to use the caves, maybe they should make them a avenue to find a lot of food. What I mean is, the overworld can have mostly fruits and vegetables and other renewable food sources while the caves have non-renewable food sources such as candy, bread, milk... fried chicken... but there is an abundance of food in the caves.

They're in the game, as evidenced by the full Japanese boxart image.

That means they are probably on the back cover of the boxart in the American boxart.
no Bulbmins? BLASPHEMY
 
I wonder if there will be an unlimited supply of fruit that grows on trees, so you can just mess around on the overworld. I don't think there will be, sadly.

I love how the yellow Pikmin can make circuits. It just shows how creative the creators are making the game.
I know! I was smiling since it was so adorable!

And it seems that the main area they are in is a conjoined Australia-Antarctica, which seems pretty cool.

I can't find an image, but it's at the end of this video.


Seems Antarctica is more jungle like from like climate change or something.

oh ok you meant that it's like australia geography wise, not environment wise

ok that seems cool i guess
Yeah, but I'm still curious to where the snow shows up. It doesn't look like there is any on that map.

In the picture of the map in the video a part was covered by the picture of Brittany, it could've been just clouds but it did look a little bit white there so it could be the snowy area.
 
While everyone is gushing about Smash Bros and Pokemon, there's a new Pikmin trailer which showcases new enemies and the multiplayer mode.

 
I did see that. :P

I am definitely excited for the game, and I just want it to come out so I can play it, instead of seeing all these trailers getting me excited.
