Support NeoGAF

[laserbeam]

Miyamoto I think finally got the idea from people. hes been interviewed alot since the conference with the same what the fuck is going on questions.

He and others dodged Pikmin questions etc he finally caved in

 

[The Hermit]

I can´t believe Gaf actually made a diference...

Congratulation guys, I think if it weren´t for us Chris Remo would´ve left the conference!

 

[sevenchaos]

Awesome news.

 

[Chris R]

Probably because they don't have anything to show?

All we know now is that Pikmin is 100% confirmed coming to the Wii. Nintendo doesn't talk about games unless they have them in some sort of form visually or playable.

All they would have had to do is throw a mockup title screen into some game montage and their conference would have easily been 100x better than the crap they had. Not even any gameplay, cg, music, anything. JUST THE TITLE and they would have had the hardcore gamers not freaking out.;

 

[Gahiggidy]

Wait, there's more...

"We're making Pikmin... we started last Tuesday."

 

[truendo]

No one asked.

Awesome.

 

[DevelopmentArrested]

didnt they both sell over a million?

shh dont tell him, we shouldnt care about this because it didnt sell remember

 

[nyong]

I wonder if there's a video of the conference floating around somewhere. It would make a great addition to the epic E3 moments thread.

 

[Amir0x]

You only said you wouldn't ban him. Technically you still can pull off the scans. :lol

EPIC FIX!

You have potential kid!

I don't remember them ever doing that with a first party console game. I don't know really.

 

[Grecco]

And to think. Some canadian developers say "The Gaf" has a negative effect on the society

Well done Remo.

He hinted earlier that a new Pikmin could be on the way – both in previous conferences and in our recent interview with him

Old.

 

[koam]

Everyone else hates him now

 

[Pre]

:lol :lol :lol

Take that, Dyack.

 

[DECK'ARD]

Chirs Remo saved gaming!

 

[boiled goose]

Uhhhh... Nobody finds it a bit weird that Pikmin 3 is announced from a random Q&A question? WTF. What if Chris Remo hadn't asked the question?

Just seems to me like Miyamoto went "Fuck it. These geeks & otakus won't leave us alone with the hardcore games questions. I'll just shut them up with a random Pikmin announcement. We were thinking of doing it anyways.."

I think miyamoto felt a little bad for hardcore nintendo fans... they really showed nothing new at the conference and like you said... just said fuck it and confirmed pikmin 3...

The new policy about not announcing games till they are ready is almost harder on fans than delays.... it must also be very hard for people like miyamoto who probably want to get people exited about all games being made at nintendo... but policy is policy...

 

[Y2Kev]

Miyamoto on Tuesday:

"There isn't anything that we can announce right now, but I'm sure we'll probably do something with it," Miyamoto said of a Wii Pikmin sequel. "The Pikmin team is, of course, still there and maybe we'll have something to talk about before too long." We like the sound of that."

GAF whining commences

Miyamoto on Wednesday:

"We're making Pikmin."

GAF explodes.

Maybe we need subtlety training. btw pikmin is real, believe.

 

[Tucah]

PIKMIN!

Awesome news, great to hear some sort of a confimation.

 

[Galactic Fork]

Hmmm... He just said they were making Pikmin, never that they're making a new Pikmin game. Maybe they've started genetically engineering real Pikmin in preparation for their world takeover. And you guys are cheering it on.

 

[Regulus Tera]

Everyone else hates him now

I've lurked this place for half a year now. I had to make a reputation out of something. :lol

 

[Shig]

Wait, there's more...

"We're making Pikmin... we started last Tuesday."

"It's a Wiiware installment by the makers of My Pokemon Farm."

 

[tino]

Pikmin...meh.

 

[Opiate]

EPIC FIX!

You have potential kid!

You can also classify scans as "porn for gamers." Cite the "all over my face" remarks as evidence of your claim.

 

[Somnid]

didnt they both sell over a million?

Worldwide they probably did. In the US it was about 700k for Pikmin 1 and 400k for Pikmin 2. They don't quite perform as high as Metroid if that's any indicator and interest after GCN launch was weaker despite the game being significantly better.

 

[Divvy]

A bit late, but gotta give thanks.

 

[wolfmat]

"We're making Pikmin" and then what?

Is that ALL?

I like Pikmin, but.. Hmm.

Thanks though, Chris Remo. Good job.

 

[Flavius]

Pikmin...meh.

When we burn you, would you like to be crispy or extra crispy?

 

[Gahiggidy]

I just hope to hell Pikmin 3 is not getting the same level of effort as AC:CF. (assuming its not for DS).

 

[Rentahamster]

Finally some good news out of Nintendo that I actually care about!

 

[MikeE21286]

it's funny how we find out that a new Halo game is in the works and it gets brushed aside somewhat....but we hear about a new Pikmin and it it's...PIKMIN 3 OMGZ.....

Spoiler

thank god Wii gets some games is the impression I get from it

its cuz haloz 4 could be another shooter and pikmin 3 could be another wacky miyamoto golden brainpoop

 

[JaMarco]

lol nvm

Dude. It's Pikmin.

 

[JavyOO7]

remember guys get him The Who tickets

I never played Pikmin 2 so hmmm

You should try out Pikmin 2. Get it used or whatever. Tremendous game. Though I kinda preferred they had stuck with the time limit but oh well.

This E3 is thumbs in the middle for me. It's been over twenty years since Nintendo last made a wrestling game in house. Smackdown vs RAW is horse shit. I have been playing No Mercy 64 for a damn long time now. Fire Pro Wrestling is still with me, but it seems like Spike is moving onto the King of Colosseum series. So the wrestling gamer is left with Smackdown vs RAW... jesus shit.

How hard is it to get a team of 30 people and release a wrestling game for Wii Ware? Earthbound has a better chance of getting translated and released here in the states than Nintendo making another wrestling game. Fuckers they are.

what did you think about the Day of Reckoning series? I didn't like SDvR either and I really liked how engaged DoR's controls were compared to it.

because it's freakin Halo, there's not much you can do to change Halo up. It's an FPS, there's shooting, jumping, online... On the other hand Pikmin is a unique game that could be changed in a number of ways. And the impression I get of your comment is

Spoiler

why is a stupid Nintendo game getting more attention than our the Halo?

 

[evilromero]

Well all I wanted from Nintendo E3 was Pikmin 3, so this is close enough

The upcoming German convention might be a good place to show off some pikmins. Now that they've clearly established their Wii Music/Sports games Pikmin Wii will be clear for showcasing.

Maybe it's because there hasn't been a sequel to Pikmin in close to 4 years, even though a lot of people have asked for it, and Halo has already had it's sequel and will get 2-3 more games in the next 2 years

 

[Mamesj]

Pikmin 3 will probably just be like Pikmin 2, which was pretty much just more of Pikmin 1. Not meant to be a sick burn, but I guess I'm trying to bring logic into this thread by saying Pikmin isn't enough to sa...fuck it

NINTENDO BEATS ME BECAUSE HE LOVES ME. SEE? HE'S LOVING ME RIGHT NOW.

 

[twilitesparklemotion]

a bit OT but first NHL 2k9 shot for the wii

ICGamers for the win. (used to write for them, it's nice to see the watermark again)

It was full of stars.

:lol

Anyway, Pikmin for the win. All hail Remo.

 

[laserbeam]

Bingo Halo is moving into the majorly milked category in faster time then most franchise

 

[bridegur]

Didn't everyone already expect Pikmin 3?

 

[funkmastergeneral]

Pikmin is cool and all but doesn't make up for the rest of Nintendo's bullshit this E3. You're on notice, Nintendo.

 

[Kiriku]

Making Pikmin? What? Pikmin 3? A Pikmin-port for DS? Low-budget Pikmin Wiiware game? Just keeping my expectations in check here...

 

[Fatghost]

Pikmin. :lol


The last Wii game I bought was Mario Galaxy.


It doesn't look like this is going to change any time soon.

 

[The Storyteller]

Pikmin 3 will probably just be like Pikmin 2, which was pretty much just more of Pikmin 1.

Yeah, no.

 

[Dalauz]

Chris: post your Paypal ID

everyone here should be donating to get another The Who ticket imho.

 

[Frank the Great]

Awesome news, I can't wait to play Pikmin DS.

 

[MisterHero]

also guys you should try Battalion Wars. It kinda plays like Pikmin except you can control anyone of your units directly and use vehicles, 3rd-person rather than birds-eye, etc.
