Fused King Posted June 17, 2012 Posted June 17, 2012 (edited) Pikmin 3's controls are similar to the ported Wii versions of the original games, primarily using the Wii Remote and Nunchuck to move and control your Pikmin army. The Wii U GamePad is currently only used to view the map and move around it. From the main page. So wait, is it implied that you switch between the Pad and the Wii-Chuck, or is the Pad meant to be resting on your lap or standing on a stand so that you can see the map? Can't one play the game with the Pad only? Edited June 17, 2012 by Fused King
Ashley Posted June 17, 2012 Posted June 17, 2012 Sorry for any confusion. Only the latter at the moment, no play on the GamePad. I say "at the moment" because I hope Nintendo change this :p
Falcon_BlizZACK Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 Something tells me this game will launch with wii remotes.
madeinbeats Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 More 1080p goodness. Interesting time-laps feature briefly shown at the end. Seen some gold glowing beasts near the end as well which I don't think I've seen before, but the guy playing ran out of time before he could get to them.
Pancake Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 What's with the repeat treasures? There was a strawberry and a cherry as treasures in Pik 2, infact there were at least 2 strawberries and a bunch of other repeat treasures as well. So now they're being repeated again in the new game? For me the wonder of finding a new treasure was my favourite part of the game. The treasures were generally brilliant (apart from the repeats). And seeing as how they're based on everyday items, i don't see why they're even repeating them at all. There are endless possibilities surely.
Mike Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 I don't think this is part of the main mode - it's just a 'how many pieces of fruit can you find in X amount of time'. I'm sure there'll be all new treasures in the main mode, and hopefully some 'real life' objects like the Duracell battery in Pikmin 2.
Pancake Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 Oh, that's a relief. They were all real life objects in the last one if i remember right. My favourites were the fried egg, bacon and pink icing dough ring found on the breakfast table. Awesome.

Pikmin 2 and Crazy Taxi are probably the only games (or are at least the only ones I can think of) where non game product placement actually improved the game experience!
Fused King Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 How can this game not be a launch-title? It's been in development for how long now? 4, 5 years? This game must undoubtedly be Miyamoto's Magnum Opus.

This game must undoubtedly be Miyamoto's Magnum Opus. I think it's probably ready but seeing as The Wonderful 101 looks very similar, they may be holding it back, while this will draw those interested in Pikmin in.

Hero-of-Time Posted September 15, 2012 Posted September 15, 2012 Is this new? After completing a stage, the replay feature allows players the option to review their results using the GamePad and TV. Fast-forward, rewind or pause while assessing the previous mission to decide on other paths. In addition to the five original types of Pikmin encountered in previous games, the new Rock Pikmin bring powerful new abilities and are able to crack hard outer shells of enemies and break through solid barriers.

Magnus Posted September 15, 2012 Posted September 15, 2012 You're paraphrasing. "A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad." I want to paraphrase, too. :p "All delayed games are good."
Cube Posted September 15, 2012 Posted September 15, 2012 The longer a game is delayed, the better it becomes.
Fused King Posted September 15, 2012 Posted September 15, 2012 Is this new? Yes it is, and it sounds sweet
Grazza Posted September 15, 2012 Posted September 15, 2012 I don't think delayed games are usually good at all - in fact, I think the opposite is true. If something takes significantly more than three years and/or its development spans multiple consoles, it usually means there's a problem. Not that I consider Pikmin 3 "delayed" - Miyamoto has been saying for years that they weren't working on it full-on whilst the Wii was in its prime (you can see why they waited for HD). If it takes many more months I'll consider it delayed, but if it's out soonish after the Wii U's launch, no problem!
D_prOdigy Posted September 15, 2012 Posted September 15, 2012 Sadness is going to be the greatest game of all time.
david.dakota Posted September 15, 2012 Posted September 15, 2012 Sadness is going to be the greatest game of all time. Nil points. Too easy.
dazzybee Posted September 15, 2012 Posted September 15, 2012 Is this new? No it isn't, that was announced at e3, you can send the ghost to friends and such.
darkjak Posted November 25, 2012 Posted November 25, 2012 The longer a game is delayed, the better it becomes. Yeah! Duke Nukem Forever will remain the worlds best game forever! With Too Human in second place :p On a more serious note: this seems to become quite excellent. Any news, though?
dazzybee Posted November 25, 2012 Posted November 25, 2012 I really hope they give this a massive sheen. Reports suggested this was clearly a wii game put on the wii u. So it'd be great if they made it look as glorious as possible.... Early next year is going to be great (for gaming in general) - Rayman, Pikmin, Wonderful 101, Need for speed, Aliens...
