I'm not sure if this is an official "artwork" for Pikmin 2 or just something fanmade, but I would absolutely love if Pikmin 3 would look like this. The Pikmin always looked made out of clay in the artworks, if Nintendo passes on this chance to make them actually look like the old designs I'll be pretty disappointed.
Edit: Thinking about it, I won't embed the image directly into my post. Before someone gets his hope up at first glance that this might be the first screenshot of Pikmin 3
Confirmation of pikmin is glorious, but If Wave Race is shown at E3 I'll blow my load. I tried so hard to love Blue Storm, but it paled in comparison to the original.
I must try them some more then. Maybe restarting both games is the way to go, although I never completed them on GameCube and was hoping to keep the progress and return to them sometime in the future.
