Topic: Pikmin 3 - OT

How the hell is that a problem. Its a ******* game with a multiplayer mode in 2013. This game is probably HD pikmin meaning the mutiplaye r mode will be fun.

The is no justification for this in today's gaming climate. And saying "oh well its a series known for its single player" is a load of you know what.

100 Pikmins are sure to cause lag.

@Sony_70

Oh, the justification of not having an online Multiplayer mode in today's climate? How about, like many other titles in recent history, they aren't putting much effort into their shoe-horned Multiplayer? The difference being they're putting less effort in so they can presumedly make a better Single Player which Pikmin is known for?

This is reminding me of that whole stupid Metroid Prime Trilogy deal and its Local Multiplayer, lol.

The game has been I. Devlppment for how many years. This should be sorted out by now.

Your telling me its not sad that they are supposed to be pushing miiverse and the online interactions and play but they can't get it for the game thats the marquees title for wii U to support peer to peer online play.

With the popularity of competitive and cooperative Starcraft this seems like a no brained.

Has this kid played Pikmin before?

It has been sorted out already, they didn't put online in.

Multiplayer was pretty much the biggest distinction between 1 & 2, so it made sense for many to expect and hope that they'd continue to improve these modes in 3. If you prefer to play Pikmin alone, I'm sure Pikmin 3 sounds splendid to you, but some people like other things, surprisingly.

If they could have managed to add online co-op with voice chat, this would be a very fun relaxing game for when you can't get the friends together under one roof — though that's just me dreaming, since we're talking Nintendo here. Miiverse kind of makes every game online, at least, so I'm looking forward to how that's incorporated.

I'm just glad they seem to be confirming some form of local multiplayer now. I have been trying to look up details, but all I see so far is Miyamoto quoted as saying the local co-op is really fun. Any mention of the head-to-head mode? Or new modes? Head-to-head was my favorite way to play Pikmin 2.

Which is sad and makes me question nintendo's grasp on online. The 3DS had a pitiful online setup and this isnt looking any better on the first party games front.

I don't think all games need to be online but it the game has a mutiplayer mode should have it online. Not everyone has people to play locally or have poeple interested in playing local.

Uprising's and Mario Kart's online seem fine to me. :/

Waveboy is stuck in Subcon? That makes both of us. ♥

You're just saying that... ♥

I'm hoping that they will do Yoshi's Island first.

@Eureka

I meant as in needing a patch. And stuff such as not getting a notification to add them back.

And when is expecting more considered hating a company.

Yeah, I wanna know more about, you know...the actual story mode. Will there be caves like from Pikmin 2? Are those actual Flying Pikmin? Will there be any other new Pikmin? Will we be seeing some old bosses? (Man-at-Legs was fun, and I miss that mushroom thing from the first game, lol)

Then You haven't read some of the threads in the other gaming section. I crap on Sony pretty hard.

My name is a joke from chat.

It's been asked if he's played Pikmin before, and you just said you're still waiting for Pikmin 2, the game that brought multiplayer to Pikmin. Co-op is just like single-player, except with more players. I don't see the problem with wanting that. Online would allow more people to access this mode, and it would be a nice game to play and voice chat with internet friends, such as any of the nice folk here.

(Edited once I realized I just repeated myself from last page.)

While online is definitely a big part of the future of gaming, and it is a bit disappointing that this game, as far as we are aware, does not have online, that does not affect me as much as it did with, say, StarFox, as it's multiplayer mode makes more sense for online, and adds replay ability to an otherwise short game. It shouldn't be a deal breaker here, as I'm assuming that the MP mode would just be a fun distraction as it was in 2.

Although the lack of online I will agree is stupid, I won't let it ruin the game. Obviously some will be put off at the lack of... online multiplayer in Pikmin...?

...Wait...NO. I literally just realized after I finished that sentence. How does that happen?

I'm seriously trying to be as empathetic as I can, but HOW CAN THAT BE A DEAL BREAKER? I mean, YEAH, it's disappointing and stupid to exclude it, but Pikmin is a SINGLE PLAYER ADVENTURE about 93% of the time. I see how it can knock of some points, but how can anyone really judge the likes of Pikmin, a game almost ENTIRELY about the Main Adventure, badly based on lack of Online in Multiplayer?

If Uncharted 3's multiplayer wasn't online, some people would be upset but would someone refuse to buy the game? That...just doesn't compute.

There is nothing to compute here. The internet is a place with people and their opinions, many of which will be different from yours, even if you type in caps.

I liked multiplayer better than singleplayer in both Pikmin 2 and Uncharted 3. I'm not saying it's a deal breaker for Pikmin 3 for me, but I could understand it being one for some.

Oh, ok. That makes sense. I just wasn't thinking that way as both games are Singleplayer focused, so I just assumed that people weren't buying it for the Multiplayer.
Sorry about the Caps, I was honestly confused before. Thanks for enlightening me.
