Topic: Pikmin 3 Discussion

Didn't see one for it, and we don't have much info on it...so I thought I'd make a thread so we can talk about it. Well, there's not much to talk about at the moment, so go ahead and say what you want to have in the third game. I already have a few I'm hoping for, probably one of them will actually be in it...never know.

1. Multiplayer Adventure Mode - You know, play through the single player adventure, except with a buddy! (or more if possible...) I always wanted to have a friend play through to the end of the final boss in Pikmin 2, would be awesome.

2. Night-time (Hard) Mode - You know the story with the planet, it get dangerous at night...It could be unlocked after beating the game, just play through the story again, except you're on the planet at night!

3. Cave Creator (lol) - Yeah, wish I could make my own levels...well that won't happen...but maybe the cave levels?...

4. MOAR PICKMEN! - Erm, yeah...good chance of being introduce to more pikmin...but seeing how this will be on the Wii...more than 100 on the field?

That's all I can think of at the moment...I'll stick around, I have homework. T_T

I would love a Hard Mode for night-time play! Never considered that but it'd make for some really interesting gameplay. A multiplayer version of the adventure mode wouldn't go amiss, either, and one or two new Pikmin species wouldn't be too bad either (although I wouldn't complain if we only had the five current species).

I always thought that, with Pikmin 3, there'd be some sort of DLC - downloadable areas, for example, or maybe the ability for Nintendo to add new caves to existing areas if they wanted to. Also, I know the term "online leaderboards" is enough to make some people puke (usually including myself, I have to admit), but my dad LOVES the Challenge Mode from the first Pikmin game and I'm sure he'd revel in an online leaderbord for a similar gameplay mode in Pikmin 3.

A multiplayer co-op mode would be pretty awesome. Night mode would be a great way to extend the playability too (though what sort of justification they would need to use for pikmin to not be able to be out during the day, I'm not sure). Maybe some sort of 2-player battle mode as well? Not quite sure how that would work, which is why I don't design vigimagames.

Well the battle mode exists in P2, never did bother with it though...so I'm not sure how it works either. I think you have these big marbles that you two fight over, player one using red pikmin (for some odd reason, lol) while the other has blue...which makes no sense seeing how red pikmin has an higher attack. lol

How about an enemy that tricks your Pikmin into following it instead of you? It doesn't eat them itself, but leads them towards something that'll quite happily chow down on 'em, or leads them into danger of some sort. So you've got to try to keep just out of range to attack it, but call your army back before it sprays its trickster pheromones all over them.

Love the idea of Night Mode play and multiplayer co-op, too. EDIT: Let's make that co-op online with Wii Speak support. Monster Hunter Tri looks set to get ahead of you with the online interactions, Ninty. Time to catch 'em up.

I wouldn't mind them releasing New Play Control Pikmin 2 in America, but that's just me....

Never played a Pikmin game, trying to wait for either NPC Pikmin 2 or Pikmin 3, not working too well...

Night mode? Why not just include a harder difficulty level from the outset? Not that the other pikmin games were that easy, but for games of this type, such as Overlord and to a small extent Little King's Story, the difficulty is always tricky to get spot on.

What would I like to see in the new pikmin.. well... I guess 1 new type of pikmin would suffice, a bigger game world, more creatures (which is a given anyway) ... basically my answer is.. more of the same please

I just want versus mode improved. That had a lot of untapped potential.

It's so easy for developers to just add a 'hard mode' without adding any other bells-and-whistles goodies. Portyraying hard mode as 'night mode' would give it some meaning. It'd just be an added bonus, really.

How about a vs mode where one person has pikmin while the other controls the monsters.

I love Pikmin and know I'll buy Pikmin 3 when it comes out. I would like to see some things different to a degree, because I never want the game to lose it's charm.

How about a Pikmin with range?
How about a Pikmin that burrows?
How about a Pikmin that flies?

I would like for there to be ways to upgrade your Pikmin. Like in the second one where you could use your sprays, but make it permenant instead.

yep, I won't discuss Pikmin 3 until they come up with it. I played NPC Pikmin 1, now waiting for my sequel. in fact, if NOA won't bring pikmin 2 but will bring pikmin 3 i'll be seriously annoyed... seriously. there will be blood.

Heck, exclusive enemies that only appear at night would be pretty nice too. I'm pretty sure they could come up with some nice bizarre creatures there.

it might be interesting if they took the series in a whole new direction and turned it into a 3rd person game

what they said. ^^

New Play control died fast.

I doubt NPC will be continuing...and I really don't see the big deal anyways. I honestly will probably forget all about 2 once I start playing 3, so it wouldn't matter for a NPC for me anyways.

I just want it to be better in every way possible. I love Pikmin and play it to this day.
Also, it'd be great if it used Galaxy's engine, or even an upgrade. Just saying

I skipped out on pikmin 2, I hated the limited days in the original Pikmin so change that. (I hated that part, loved the game though but never finished it) but I loved challenge mode so if they bring that back I'll be happy enough

Pikmin 2 doesn't have the limited days thing in it, chances are it won't be in 3 either.

Then this game is on my must-buy list. The whole time limit took away the fun of exploring.
