Any impressions, cheesemeister?
I can already tell i'm going to be watching a Let's Play of this game when it comes out. I don't want to buy a Wii U at $350.
I feel sorry for you. Playing a Pikmin game and feeling connected to the characters is what Pikmin is all about. This isn't a corridor shooter, decisions you make each day plays a huge role in the game.
I can't wait to get my hands on it and play it for myself.
Plus I hate when people say " I am not buying a Wii U for one game" There are many more games available.
I can't believe people actually watch Lets Play videos in substitute for playing the game. Really makes no sense to me.
Like I'm not gonna buy a PS4 anytime soon, but I'm also not going to watch the launch games instead of playing them. (Though with the cinematic games its probably not much different)

I've played both Pikmin 1 and 2 and actually just recently (This last week) replayed Pikmin 2 and collected every treasure. And after that I watched Pikmin 1 and Pikmin 2 Let's plays on youtube. When you watch someone who's good, it's fun.
Yes, I do want to play Pikmin 3 one day. What I'm saying is I don't know if I'm strong willed enough not to watch a Let's Play before I pick up a Wii U. Seeing as how I'm not about to buy a one. (Just bought a PS3 this week for TLOU.)
And no where did I say 'this one game'. Wonderful 101 looks cool, Lego City looks fun, SSB U will be great. Wii U has games, but not enough to justify the entry price right now IMO.
Is the wiipad and nunchuk the main controller again? Are you kidding me nintendo your again just going to ignore gamepad with some novelty use.
Any impressions, cheesemeister?
Thanks.It seems like the input for moving your Pikmin in a line with the C-Stick has been ditched in favor of camera rotation, a change I can't say I'm in favor of.
As for the game itself, I'm glad it forces you to think about teamwork between the captains, unlike Pikmin 2 in which it was completely optional. Objectives are laid out well. Lock-on is very handy against moving targets. The rock Pikmin are surprisingly useful so far, even if their use cases are contrived. But, that's a game for you.
Recommended!

Whats the logic behind calling this Pikmin 3 instead of Pikmin U?
Many like me have never played 1 or 2, even more haven't even heard of Pikmin. I definitely think the 3 will scare some people off. Its not like these games have any real story and this is the 3rd part in the epic trilogy.
Can they still change the name for the other releases?

Because it's a sequel? I mean Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon did fine everywhere despite two territories calling it Luigi's Mansion 2.
Also (SPOILERS!)Louie and Olimar are in this one, and the plot does turn to saving them after a while.
Someone's streaming it pretty far in now if anyone doesn't mind SPOILERS: http://www.twitch.tv/moruid
Yeah, that's cool! My comment wasn't directed at you specifically, the topic just made me think about it.I've only watched two Let's Plays and honestly before I did, I didn't think it would be fun at all. In fact I had the same thoughts you have. But then again I have played both Pikmin 1 and 2, so it's not like I 'ruined' the game for myself.
Like I said, I don't have a Wii U but I REALLY want Pikmin 3. I've been watching youtube analysis videos over the last few months. Probably one of my favorite Nintendo franchises. So what I'm saying is I don't think I'm strong willed enough to wait till xmas/Wii U price drop before I need some Pikmin 3 in my life.
but once again the sound effects are annoying as hell. ^^
Not sure if it requires WM+, but it definitely uses it. Don't worry, if Nintendo Land is any indication it will be just as good as IR.Wow this looks awesome. I still have to beat the first two though. I already have it preordered online so I better hurry up.
Does Pikmin 3 use the gyro or IR for the cursor? The latter is so much vastly superior it'd be a shame to force myself to use the Game Pad instead of Wiimote + nunchuck when playing this game.
i lol'dWell, I'm hard for those soft graphics and wet for that dry intro.
Cheesy, I watched more of your feed and I gotta say that was smart bringing only rock pikmin to fight that giant scorpion thing. I hope the next day you were able to go back and pick up everything!
Yes, your progress carries over from day to day.
Bertrand Amar, french journalist, says he just finished it after 26 hours: https://twitter.com/bertrand_amar/status/356051690002190336
Obviously better gamers will finish it in less time, still nice to hear for us common mortals
Ah, that's good to hear. I knew enemy damage did but wasn't sure about everything else. Have you had any more time to play the game? So far, how does it stand up to the other Pikmin games?
I hope its playable on the gamepad, don't particularly want to learn two control systems depending if I'm playing off-TV or not.
Not yet, but each area is clearly very replayable over the course of multiple days, with more sections to unlock as you gather Pikmin types. I can see this game taking up a lot of time. After playing Pikmin 2 on an HDTV for the past week, the graphics on Pikmin 3 should hold up much better. I haven't tried the rollback feature yet, but it may come in handy later. The only drawback in my eyes is the lack of moving with the right stick.
It can be played on the GamePad using the TV or off-TV, with the Classic Controller Pro, or with the Wii Remote and Nunchuk.
