Hey Guest. Check out your NeoGAF Wrapped 2025 results here!
[N-Conf] Pikmin 3
- Thread starter rouken
- Start date
So, Pikmin fans who have been waiting 8 years for a new game shouldn't be excited because you think the graphics are substandard?

Isn't that the point of a sequel?

Meh, they maybe out of ideas but the multiple people may add to the complexity. Pikmin is loved by many and it's hitting HD. So, yeah, I'm excited.
I agree it shouldn't be the lead game. 3D mario should really be lead and it should hit before the 1 year anniversary of Wii U. Nintendo might be having difficulty.
What the hell is wrong with 3rd parties? They should have more games announced. I can't fathom how they don't have announcements for GTAV, RE6 and others. We should be seeing Maddens and shit. Can't tell me there is no 3rd party announcements or vids. Hopefully the games are announced over the next month. This seems bad for Ninty.

It really is true. You've never posted something happy.

The only redeeming thing about the conference, and yet still didn't even impress me that much. Graphics looked very average.
Come on Nintendo, show us what this system can doooooo

I think it was listed as 'Launch Window'.
This is OBVIOUSLY a Wii game that they're switching to Wii U. It's practically Miyamoto's job to create new software to show off new hardware, like the Wii U GamePad. But this is designed with the Wiimote and nunchuk in mind, and the visuals DO look like they've been quickly upscaled. I'm fine with it, I'll take a new Pikmin any way I can get it. But this is another Twilight Princess situation.
nope, they are new and unannounced (for now)
It's good in the sense that it will be a really content-rich game instead of a half baked concept showpiece.
Anyone remember this?

Has Nintendo come even close to this CG?

Thought it was real scenery with Louie superimposed on, no?

Made me 
finally seeing Pikmin 3 and if it's not day 1 on launch then I'll be so sad and mad.
This needs to be out on launch day
Pikmin is back
Miyamoto did say something about nunchuck controls being great with the game I think so yeah I have a feeling it was made for wii but changed to Wii u

Am I blind. Or does this look exactly like the predecessors?

I have no idea. I just remember thinking it would be cool if Pikmin 3 looked like this.
The stage demo didn't give me a good idea of what's in this game aside from Pikmin again. Gotta see the hands-on impressions from the showfloor, I think.
Anyway, I'm sure it will be great. Thank Iwata for this and that glorious NSMBU trailer, because they singlehandedly are saving the Wii U for me. Well, and Rayman Legends.

Some of the people in this thread need to chillax. Go back and actually look at a bunch of Wii games and compare them to the footage of Pikmin 3. Even if the game was not built entirely with the Wii U in mind, it's evidently a notch ahead of anything on the Wii, in terms of shading, IQ, environment geometry, DOF, model textures, animations, etc. And they only showed what is probably one relatively small segment of the game. It looks great, and will hopefully play great, just like its predecessors.
For comparison:

Dude.... dude.
This game looks incredible graphically, especially the foliage. There aren't many games I've seen that look better than this visually.

You're blind. Or mis-remembering how blurry and low-res the Gamecube games were. This looks MUCH better.

I'll be picking up Pikmin 2 in a few days as well as Pikmin 3 once I get a Wii U.
Game looks great in HD.

it looks like pikimin 2 on dolphin.
I'm a Pikmin fan, I was waiting for a little more than that but overall, I've waited for it long enought so I'm happy.
After seeing it at E3, it clearly appears, like stated before, that it was at first supposed to be released on Wii, and moved to Wii U.
First, the control shema will be quiet complex with a wiimote and nunchuk, and/or the gamepad. Fair enought, even on gamecube, that was a little complex, or at least new for its time. HD graphics looks Ok but I don't feel either a big leep, flora graphics were already awesome in Pikmin 1 and 2.
At least we are getting new maps, I didn't recognize anything in the small video and the bunch of screenshots we have.
The story is probbaly about Olimar getting lost alone on Earth, and his family and friends come to search for him. It's funny, years agi, I personally scribbled about a Pikmin game with Olimar searching for his family after my initial story twist.
Overall, if they didn't go that far with the gamepad controls, Nintendo will need to be more ambitious for Pikmin 4.
