Pikmin Art Academy Contest Announced on Miiverse

Is the contest only accepting Wii U sketches or 3DS ones as well?

Those short movies really make me want a Pikmin animated film...

Well, I won't be entering, but I do look forward to seeing the winners.

There are some talented wii u owners out there, looking forward to the results!

Poor Miyamoto...

@MMSK786 Wii U only, as entrees require Art Academy: Sketchpad

Since my artistic side is severely lacking, I'm going to have to pass on entering the contest. I'll definitely enjoy seeing what other people are capable of though.

All the comps so far have had some amazing entries, i wont be entering but im sure whats produced will be awesome.

What's taking so long with the Full Art Academy for the Wii U?

I hope more people get to know the game, it's just so beautiful. Every single person who I lend the game to just fell in love with it right away. Hope this helps spread the love

@Jahir

I remember when a friend borrowed my game, what I did was to go to his house and play the game for an evening there, then take it with me. This made sure he loved the game but I forced him to buy it instead of playing through my copy.

As with W101, I hope more people give this game a chance. I am eager to get home today to finish downloading the shorts.

@sinalefa I'm going to do just that with a bunch of friends who haven't played it. I'm sure they'll love it too and I hope (I really do) they get interested enough to buy a Wii U. I'll show them some other Ninty games too.

But I've got to say, there's something about this game that makes it feel different to others, I mean, it's fun, it's entertaining, etc. but there's something else that makes me love it every time I play it. Some kind of magic.

And you'll love the shortfilms, all of them are gorgeous and have the same charm of Pikmin 3. You won't regret those well spent colones!

Stylii, not styluses.

Pikmin is Miamoto's crowning achievement, the pinnacle of his creations. Pikmin 3 made me fall in love with the franchise in a way I've never experienced before with any other game. And the short films will melt your heart, too.

Anyone asking for a new franchise from Miamoto, who has not yet played Pikmin 3, is doing a great disservice to themselves.

It's sad they limit comments to 1000.
If they had Miiverse working the way it should, EVERY submission could actually be received, instead of the 1000 fastest.
With a month, I know some artists with Sketchpad that could craft masterpieces not even Nintendo would shy away from using.

@Jahir

For me Captain Toad looks similar in that respect. The world looks so full of life, the way the characters interact with each other is almost like they are alive.

I also love the sense of discovery and wonder (with the world being so big and you so small) and the display of cruelty so common in nature when the Pikmin are eaten or even when they kill other creatures.

Glad to hear about my colones being well spent. My bro, as we speak, is actually in México now, taking a vacation to watch the Día de los Muertos celebrations. He has sent tons of lovely pictures.

@sinalefa I know, that game looks so alive, so colorful. The other day I was watching some images from the last Skylanders game and I couldn't stop thinking how dull and lifeless it looks in comparison to Captain Toad. And I hope it has the same magic as Pikmin 3.

Hopefully your brother went to Mixquic (a town within México City), I've heard it's beautiful those days. And tell him to try the Pan de Muertos and eat some Pipián. Well, tell him to eat as much as he can, (real) mexican food is quite tasty

What's with all this about pikmin, now? Movies, contest, hmmm... Pikmin 4 incoming?

@andrea987 No. Pikmin 3 with better sales again incoming.

I'll have to make another Wii U user, as my personal file is banned (ugh). But yeah, sounds like fun to me!

@JaxonH Either styli or styluses is correct, stylii isn't however.

@Octane I stand corrected. Yes I spelled it wrong,what I didn't know is that styluses is also an accepted plural form of the word. Just sounds wrong lol, Thank you,
