A lot of new Pikmin 3 details were shown during Nintendo Direct today, such as the European release date, character information, and new gameplay mechanics, and you can read up on all of the new details after the break:
He’s so happy!
In a recent Nintendo 3DS Nintendo Direct, Nintendo unveiled some Wii U gems among the 3DS madness. August 4th, 2013 has been set as the official Pikmin release date. We even got confirmation that there will be new pink Pikmin which can fly! Woot!
I’m hyped, are you?
Silly Nintendo Direct, you’re red, not blue.
Nintendo revealed a few new features to come to the Wii U via the Spring Update on the Nintendo 3DS themed Nintendo Direct today. We also got a bit more information on New Super Luigi U and Pikmin 3 coming to the Wii U.
It’s a hefty list, so you can check it out after the break:

This is so COOL!
Earlier I posted about the Rolling Stone interview of Shigeru Miyamoto.
One of the things said by Miyamoto was in regards to Pikmin 3:
With Pikmin 3, you’ll have the ability to have three different captains or leaders of Pikmin groups and you can switch between them. So it sort of allows you to approach the game from a much more strategic position. The volume of work that you can get done within the timeframe has increased dramatically. And so that in and of itself really enhances the depth of strategy that’s available to you in that game.
The first Pikmin game, known as Pikmin (who’d guess), featured a single playable captain at a time, the second game, Pikmin 2, featured two playable captains at a time, and now Pikmin 3 will have three playable captains at a time. Perhaps Pikmin 4 will feature four playable captains at a time. This isn’t saying there won’t be four captains, but apparently only thee can be used at a time in-game.
How do you think having three playable captains at a time will effect gameplay?

There’s no specific release date for Pikmin 3 on the Wii U, but Nintendo did mention in their recent Nintendo Direct broadcast that the game is still set to arrive in Spring 2013. There’s some footage from the game after the break.
