Topic: Pikmin 3 - OT

We're getting it at least by March 2013.

No no no... you must've misunderstood me, I did word it badly. I meant I might not get Pikmin 3 the first day it's out, not that it's coming out on the Wii U's launch day.

But that's when Monster Hunter Ultimate is taking over my life. xD

It kind of pisses me off that it's not coming out launch day..

Ya, I expect Pikmin in February in the states.

I wanted this and NSMBU to be my first 2 games, guess not. Thanks Ninty. >:0

NSMBU is going to be my first, barring Nintendo Land. Pikmin 3 will still be my second, since $60 per game is still a tall order for me.

The only downside to this game is that the orignal artstyle is different with it being in HD and all

Errrrrrrrrm... Who really cares? Won't it benefit more from HD?

Meh I guess your right

I do agree with GameCubeMan that it will be different from what I was used to playing, but once I'm used to it it should be loads better in terms of graphics

I kinda didn't know what to say...graphics looked awesome on Pikmin 1 and 2..and that was the GameCube, I couldn't wait to see what it would look like on the Wii U with its graphics matching the PS3/360's.

Just for an idea of how different the graphic jump will be, look at the Iridescent Flint Beetle. The first two games it looks relatively the same. But if you look at gameplay videos on youtube from the demos, you'll see that they now have six legs instead of just four, as well as glowing antennas. I think what is really going to be cool is the fact that you can aim for specific areas of an enemy, like when you throw a Pikmin at a Bulborb's eye you temporarily blind it.

Wow, I didn't see that. When Nintendo said they put a bunch of detail in this game, they weren't kidding. This should add a lot more strategy, which is good

I'm still hoping for a Nighttime Mode that's likely not going to happen. T.T

I just remembered something. Regarding the Pikmin stage in SSBB, it states that the planet has frequent heavy rains, and yet it never rains at all in either of the games (although it does snow). I wonder if it will in 3?

You know...maybe they could do a seasons based system....and the worlds could change depending on the season/weather and all that.

Um, they kinda did that in 2. Or are you being sarcastic? I can't tell.

...No they didn't...one area was snowy, that was about it...the level never changed.

Oh I see what you mean. You're talking about seasons changing within the same place, as in when you visit it at one time it's spring and then when you come back sometime later time it's now summer. And technically each area in 2 represents a different season: Valley of Repose=Winter, Awakening Wood=Spring, Perplexing Pool=Summer, and Wistful Wild=Autumn.
