Guys, I'm having a problem here. If this game existed in a vacuum, I would absolutely say it looked beautiful. But, I seriously can't stop thinking about the Wii U's terrible specs...it's really hampering my enjoyment of this. It's making the graphics look worse.
So let me get this straight :
Pictures that you would find beautiful look horrible to you because of some numbers on a spreadsheet?

Still doesn't look as good as I was expecting from a next gen Pikmin, but I guess I need to be more realistic. It does look nice though.
The person playing needs their fingers broken for getting all those Pikmin killed though.

This makes even less sense than it usually would considering we don't even know the Wii U's real specs.

Someone needs to make a GIF of that cave monster. The lighting looks fantastic.

Yeah, I felt the same way about Uncharted 3, I used to think it was gorgeous but knowing that PS3 has a weaker GPU than the Wii U has really made it look horrible by comparison.

Yeah, it's distressing. I mean, looking at the video I'm seeing that gorgeous lighting, the fantastic depth of field effects, the beautiful high-res textures...but in my mind all I can see is "1.24 GHz," "low-bandwidth DDR3," etc. I...I just think I could not possibly enjoy playing Pikmin 3 at all.
Spring 2013... This sound late march as the very earliest!
This is s**t!
So Nintendo said they need more games in the launch-window, unless with the 3DS, and Pikmin 3, wich should have been a lunch-title, came out 4 to 6 months after?
They will severely learn to not count on thrid party games to sell a hardware...

Play mario Wii-U on the Wii-U. It looks really great. i know the game is not as demanding as let's say CoD BLOPS2, but it DOES run in real 720P, at a solid 60 fps and it's really clean, so there is some noce anti aliassing going on. (not on the world map for some reason though..).
Trine looks absolutely phenomenal.
Pikim3 will look great. But games made from the ground up for Wii-U will look way better even.
However, if you buy a Wii-U for multiplats,.. then maybe that's not your best bet. Devs rarely rewally go the extra mile to build the same game again from the ground up for one system.
And, the xbox720 and ps4 will get much better versions when they come out.
But i have no single doubt that the first party games will look absoletely breathtaking.

OH MY GOD STOP ATTACKING THE CRAB
STOP
IT'S KILLING EVERYONE
EDIT: My only major concern with Pikmin 3's graphics is the texture filtering. I hope they're doing something there. ZombiU and Nintendo Land have shitty texture filtering and jesus fuck I do not want another Nintendo generation of textures blurring two feet in front of me. Seriously, 16xAF. 8xAF. Please, Wii U. Please be able to do it.
Though to be fair, that heavy DOF probably hides an absence of AF pretty well.

The new stuff looks really great. I wish they used that art style from the old promo art instead of the realistic sort of look they try to give the polished items and effects, but I think it looks a bit better than it did at E3 now and don't mind the graphics anymore. Definitely my most anticipated Wii U game now, up there with The Wonderful 101.

Those enemies were in pikmin 2 which released in 2004.
They need to have footage of a better player instead of watching all the pikmin die.
Bubble trapped pikmin is horrible. Horrible! I felt bad watching them float away like that
I hate that crab.
I bet they pop a little distance away, bit like when the flying insects in pikmin 2 grab your pikmin. Too many bubbles for them to be gone forever. I hope...

I'm going all PC+Wii-U next gen for sure
please tell me this is either satire or a gaf in-joke that has gone over my head...
If you're 100% serious, what happens when you play games from previous generations?

One reason I hate playing Pikmin. This is why I love Pikmin Adventures because they just respawn. A lot more enjoyable.
He's joking.
seems you need to be less subtle. not sure why, I chuckled at your first post

You don't have to lose any Pikmin. Though I can appreciate that it makes the game far harder (and probably less enjoyable for some).
more sparks needed?

It looks nice, the art direction is totally great and overall its improved from e3, but it is still easy to tell it started life as a Wii game. Little too sparse, little too flat, but its still very nice looking so I hardly feel like complaining.
As much as I dont really give a shit about asset quality all that much anymore, I do look forward to them putting out that first full, meaty game that really flexes the system. Sort of the same way I look forward to the dx11 stuff on other platforms, I want to see better art cohesion and new looks from everyone.
Have become overly accoustomed to all the current engines and tricks.

Oh, I'm pretty sure they did it again... The Pikmin 1 level "Forest Navel" is here again.
In Pikmin 2, the levels were remakes of 4 out of 5 Pikmin 1 levels (except Forest Navel).
At least it seems we got new levels, and as long as this is only Forest Navel, I will be ok with it. However, recycling areas is pretty cheap.

Looks aren't everything but why does this look like a game cube game?
But does it remind you of the crabs?

Hilarious that it took almost a whole page for someone to notice.

Environment textures and detail still look pretty mediocre. Game looks good though.

I never let more than 3 die. Pikmin 2 was the hardest game I played on the GameCube.
I know you're being facetious and trolling (if not, then sorry), but for those who still truly believe this, they even give a direct comparison between the Wii version and the Wii U version in the beginning seconds of the video. C'mon guys.

Games looks fantastic imo. The flowers and foliage in particular look almost real. My only complaint is the ground. Give me some viva pinata level ground in here and the graphics would be almost perfect.
