Shigeru Miyamoto Points the Way to Uncovering Pikmin 3's Hidden Secrets

GAMEXPLAIN has all the vids uploaded on their youtube.
kinda dissapointing really.

I'm doing it the old fashion way for sure. I love to see things like this hidden in his games. Too bad the internet ruins so much for people though sometimes by accident.

what sucks for me though is that in my small town, pikmin 3 wasn't even on the shelves this morning when i went to buy it, time for a 25 min. trip to a video games store

Amazing game you couldn't experience on another console without the gamepad interaction.

It's a really fun game to explore in, I found them all quite easily just by being curious. Really looking forward to any DLC announcements now, I've already beaten Story Mode twice and got every Platinum medal (50 hours play time). Such an amazing game, all they really need to do is slightly alter the Mission Mode layouts and i'll have completely new strategies to think up. There's so many ways they could add content, the videos are a cool hint at some kind of second adventure. I want to play this game forever.

I have no idea what you get for finding them, but even if it is just something little like a special note or something, I'm happy with that. I think everyone expects a lot from these kind of things though. Little things like that seemed to use to mean more on games that were on the NES and such. I know games are bigger now, but you kinda get to missing the simple stuff at times.

@darkev9001 DIGITAL DOWNLOAD, Embrace it!!!!!!!

HOW DO YOU KNOW IT IS A SECRET MEMO FILE?
COLOR? TEXT IN MEMO?WHAT?

@stonenature It says "secret memo" when you pick it up

I was hoping it would be something in-game but this is fine too at least now I won't be hesitant to delete my save

Now this is just a theory but in that part where Louie is running from the bees seems to be playable.DLC perhaps

I almost forgot how frustrating Pikmin could be... if you're trying to keep them all alive.

**grinds her teeth**

@Joshers744 Too true. But it's good that most of us still try to maintain the joy of discovering hidden secrets by avoiding certain places on the internet.

@TOMBOY25
And yet, the secret videos being online didn't stop Miamoto from including them. More and more I'm beginning to think Sakurai's excuse about cutscenes being omitted from Smash Bros 4 due to them being uploaded on Youtube is a ruse, a lie to cover the fact they're under time constraints and cutscenes were next on the chopping block after a few characters.

@yvanjean NOT IN A MILLION YEARS.

Drink your ovaltine! What! I got a little orphan Annie decoder ring for this?

@JaxonH two different stories. The ones for pikmin were posted after the game was finished were as for ssmb 4,the cutscenes were posted before the game was completed.

@Davidiam007

Oh, I didn't know that

Still, whether the game is released yet or not should be irrelevant, right? I mean, anyone who would pass on an excellent game just because they could see the game's cutscenes online before it came out, probably wouldn't be pre ordering that game anyways. They'd just wait til the game was out and watch the cutscenes then.

I guess my point is, if a person is willing to skip a game because they can watch the cutscenes on Youtube, they're going to do it regardless. Whether before the game is out, or after. Either way, they're going to watch those cutscenes and skip the game. Does that make sense at all?

@JaxonH which I agree to, but I guess what Sakurai's was upset about and the reason he cut them was because now the suprise is gone so why take up memory when it could be used for something else.

@darkev9001 In Australia, it is generally cheaper to order over internet and get free delivery to your house.

A week and a half of holiday and I can finally get this game, will be hunting down secrets on my second play through!

Game is beyond amazing. Only complaint is the short story mode

How do I get the right combination? Traditionally from right top? I think I should play it again to get the last remaining numbers. Hope its worth it.

@Kodeen
Now you are just being silly ohohohoho, you.

@Dogpigfish lol Christmas story

I've finished the game and entered my code and am still confused. How can there be 5 videos if I only get one code? Are we supposed to exchange codes or is there some fancy way to rejig them?

@TOMBOY25 Yeah, i hate too that nowadays we get all this things posted on youtube spoiling the simple fun of discovering something new, whatever it is.

(don't take it seriously)
