Official Nintendo Magazine has teased that more details about Pikmin 3 are on their way in the next issue:

Great Things come in small packages! Join us as we reveal a ton of secrets from Nintendo’s sumptuous strategy game!

What do you think might be revealed?

    I’m still very exited to see if the pink flying Pikmin from the trailer are real, because in my opinion, the rock Pikmin were just a massive let down. Why can’t the purple Pikmin break glass? They’re obviously very heavy enough. I personaly think that a flying Pikmin would be a lot more interesting.

      agreed

    • Beat

      Yeah, but yellow pikmin are kinda supposed to be “flying”. So don’t hate on the rock pikmin (even though they are kinda dumb).

    • Matt

      agreed. rock pikmin were created to solve a problem they purposely made whereas the main three were there to solve already existing problems, and white and purple weren’t necessary but definitely made things easier if you used them.

      the only thing i could think flying pikmin would do is carry either the leader or a treasure in the air but then there’s still air enemies so that would cause problems especially if you’re flying over water.

    • jdub

      Purples served few legitamate purposes (3 things required them) and could decimate any enemy by the ground pound thing and then they did more damage when they latched on, they were way overpowered. I like that the rock pikmin bouce off on contact instead of latching on, it makes it more challenging..

    • swag

      but ever since the gamecube versions nintendo never released any info about pikmin until u played the game itself, so far its only the rock pikmin, i think it’ll be stuff like the story line

    • Truth

      Personally I love rock Pikmin and all other Pikmin types. If you hate them for reasons that are xbox player related, please jump ship and play the RROD machine; they have enough redneck one track FPS shooters on board.

    • Truth

      easy comparison here, sumo wrestlers can squash, while karate fighters can break bricks and solid wood or glass with training and concentrated chops. Sumo being Purple pickmin, while karate being “Rock” Pikmin. Never thought I would ever see a Nintendo gamer that held ulterior motives shake my head. Guess there is a time for everything.

    • FLUDD

      They’re real or else Nintendo made a terrible mistake.

  • http://www.youtube.com/user/TeenChampion?feature=mhee TeenChampion

    I want to find out information about why Olimar isnt in it so far

    • me

      probablly because, olimars friends have to save him, from some bug evil thingie, so hes not in the game

    • me

      until he gets saved that is

    • Beat

      I kinda think that those 4 characters at e3 are his family, and they’re on the planet to rescue him probably.

    • Co-Wink-Key-Dink inc.

      I think the story is this (My ridiculous Concept story)
      The president decides to reform their company after the pikpik carrot fad wore out, so they decide to make a restaurant, with the fruits and beasts from the planet as the delicacy, Louie thinks he could do it better, so he makes his own company, olimar is busy preparing the food and the president is managing, so olimar brings his son and daughter, and their two friends to collect the food and beasts
      Ya gotta square off and pown Louie!

      I think nintendo should make a pikmin game for the 3ds showing what olimar is doing at the time of pikmin 3, as sort of a companion game

    • jdub

      @Co-Wink-Key-Dink inc. Looks like someone other than me enjoyed reading louies notes ;)

    • FLUDD

      I think they should make us wait until we get the game to find out anything about the story.

  • Beat

    I think the 4 characters in the game point to a 4 or 5 person multiplayer. I hope they will talk about that.

  • Luigi

    they’re likely going to mention the main game mode

    • Jesse

      Story mode…?

  • jdub

    Is there an exact date for the release of the next magazine? That would be nice.

    • aguy

      ummm july 1st?….

    • Phil

      It is out on August 1

  • Co-Wink-Key-Dink inc.

    what about Nintendo Power?

    • FLUDD

      It sounds like only the official nintendo magazine is going to talke about it first. Then Nintendo power.

    its a good thing i can careless about magazines or even videos on the eshop. becuz i want pikmin 3 to be all surprises when i play it. i dont want something cool to happen, then be like, oh that. i saw that in a video.

    • Co-Wink-Key-Dink inc

      Pfft, SPOILERS ROCK!!! I LOVE YOU SPOILERS!!!1!!
      People who waited forever will want to see spoilers, it’s so wierd how people restrict themselves when they won’t lose anything

    • http://hybrilynx.net/ Hybrilynx

      no i just have patience. except for metroid and stuff that should have been out ages ago like flipnote 3ds. im still waiting for one of those transformers movie to get on netflix. im not going to waste $20 just to watch it now. plus im a guy who always very bored. trailers and stuff only makes the game feel more old. thats one reason why i hate games that takes too long. they get old before its even released.

    “Great Things come in small packages” Condoms?

    • Co-Wink-Key-Dink inc.

      iPods?

    • Cameron

      @Co-Wink blah, blah, blah Thats a big question. How can a IPod be good?

  • The_Beeshnu

    You know what would be THE BEST THING EVER FOR PIKMIN 3?????????????????????

    Co-op multiplayer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Splitsreen with my bros or friends

    In my opinion anyway

    • Beat

      I’m guessing you mean main-story co-op? Because Pikmin 2 had a co-op multiplayer mode…

    • FLUDD

      There will not be a pvp i think because the Wii U can’t handle 200-400 Pikmin on the screen at one time. But probably co op. If not they could add it later through download.

    • jdub

      @FLUDD your source? How do you know it can’t handle more than 100 pikmin? Wii could handle 100 smoothly, wii u is at least twice as powerful. They only have 100 at a time to make it more challenging, make pikmin easier to organize, and because you really don’t need more.

    • DonnyKD

      ” because the Wii U can’t handle 200-400 Pikmin on the screen ”

      The Wii U, can run up to three screens at once, is more powerful than the PS3 and 360, and can’t run a game where over 200 little guys exist at once!

      Ugh.

    • The_Beeshnu

      Yeah sorry i meant main-story co-op

  • BlueYoshi211

    The pink flying Pikmin, what happened to the King of Bugs (If you know what I mean) and Olimar and who are the 3 new characters (3 because I saw the Pesident, I think). Plus, what about the other Pikmin? Nintendo confermed at e3 Red, Blue, Yellow, and Rock Pikmin but what about White, Purple, and the new Pink Pikmin?

    • Myst

      I think it was already stated that the purple and white Pikmin would be returning.

    • jdub

      When miyamoto was asked about white pikmin he simply said “they are there, but they are hiding” (paraphrased) nothing about purples has been mentioned. I personally believe that whites will return but purples will be replaced by rock. However, whites may not be in the game at all, kind of like how green, black, pink, purple, orange, and light blue pikmin made a cameo appearance in pikmin 1.

  • Metalmariox

    Like the pink flying Pikmin?
    I wonder if the Rock Pikmin can do anything else though…

  • Brenden

    I think the four characters are for challenge mode, And Olimar is for story.

  • ectoBiologist

    dangit i’m not done the first yet

    • ectoBiologist

      test

  • http://holon.tk holonboy
