goddamn it's going to be forever to get Pikmin 3 isn't it

"Since we've been working on Pikmin for the Wii for a while, maybe it won't be too long before we see it on Wii U."

 

[NewFresh]

So Miyamoto asks people to not ask about Pikmin because he wanted to talk about Pikmin without being asked???

You got it.

I love Miyamoto


Also: Totillo is not funny

 

[blackpensnowbird]

so when can we see these super mario and luigi's mansion trailers?

 

[shadyspace]

So Miyamoto asks people to not ask about Pikmin because he wanted to talk about Pikmin without being asked???

Miyamoto is officially everyone's dad.

 

[jwluther]

That was almost a complete waste of two hours. Tomorrow should be better. :/

 

[Sianos]

So, he wasn't supposed to say anything about Pikmin, but he did anyway?

<3 Miyamoto

 

[Vanille]

Anything about Xenoblade or Last Story in the US?

No. The dream is over.

"He's not supposed to announce it officially..... but..... he wanted to so he did! ^___^"

Shiggy doesn't give a fuck!

 

[TL4E]

Pikmin! Awesome! I'm saddened that it's moving to Wii U, but I'll deal with it. Anyway, has it really been ten years? Ten years?! Crazy. I would have still called Pikmin one of Nintendo's "new" franchises. I guess not.

I agree, I kind of wanted it on the Wii. I don't really care about HD, and the Wii Remote can handle Pikmin marvelously as it is.

 

[I NEED SCISSORS]

Nintendo E3 roundtables always deliver.

 

[Game-Biz]

goddamn it's going to be forever to get Pikmin 3 isn't it

At least it's gonna be HD and not on a power gimped system. We've waited this long, we can wait a little longer.

Edit: And it just MIGHT be on a halfway decent online network.

 

[lazybones18]

And that's the end

 

[L00P]

Aaaaannnd that's that. It's only a sensible thing to put Pikmin on U.

 

[Scoops]

First confirmed Wii U launch title (sort of)

Darksiders 2 was confirmed for launch.

 

[linkboy]

Basically.

Nintendo said they're "looking into the possibility" of having two tablet controllers. At this point in the R&D, they know what their limits are.

And they also said you won't be able to buy a Wii U tablet controller by itself. Only with the console: http://www.computerandvideogames.co...nsole-and-controller-wont-be-sold-separately/

So what do you do if the damn thing breaks.

 

[Cow Mengde]

Since it's a Wii game quickly switched to Wii U, I'm guessing the only graphical improvements would be like running Pikimin 2 on Dolphin. Which is fine by me.

 

[CrazyDude]

Breaking news!

Miyamoto fired for leaking pikmin 3.

 

[Tim the Wiz]

"But he wanted to so he did."

Like a boss. Miyamoto. Like a motherfucking boss.

 

[upandaway]

So, he wasn't supposed to say anything about Pikmin, but he did anyway?

<3 Miyamoto

Sounds like it wasn't decided yet to move the game to Wii U.

Just like it wasn't decided yet to even make Pikmin 3 but he went ahead and announced it (forcing Nintendo to make it).

I hope that's what happened this time too.

 

[DarthButcher]

Well, that was a tease. I have Blue Pikmin Balls right now from that, Shiggy.

 

[mclem]

So what do you do if the damn thing breaks.

The same thing you do if a console breaks?

 

[Why would you do that?]

Pikmin Announced and at the same time delayed

Hehe

Poor Pikmin.

 

[AlphaTwo00]

So what do you do if the damn thing breaks.

Buying a new one.

It's the Red Ring, but built in!

 

[totowhoa]

Pikmin is just dying for the HD treatment anyway. That game will look goooorgeous! Worth the wait for the pretty grass and water.

 

[PushTheButtonMax]

Read the first page, its hilarious. People were expecting Smash Brothers trailers and Pikmin 3 reveals.

Anyway, good to know 60FPS + Retro involvement.

Eat it.

 

[Game-Biz]

Miyamoto doesn't give a FUCK.

 

[mclem]

Well, that was a tease. I have Blue Pikmin Balls right now from that, Shiggy.

But blue pikmin are the streamlined aquatic ones. I doubt they'd have protruberances to intrude on their aerodynamic (aquadynamic?) form.

Since it's a Wii game quickly switched to Wii U, I'm guessing the only graphical improvements would be like running Pikimin 2 on Dolphin. Which is fine by me.

That would be awful.

 

[Linkhero1]

Did Sakurai say anything?

 

[methodman]

Eat it.

lol.

So all in all...

-Super Mario 3DS is trying to be more like the old games, but in 3d -- it's got flags again (first time in 3d Mario), the Tanuki suit, is set in the more classic style world (not Galaxy, more Mario 64-ish), etc. The game plays great.

-Luigi's Mansion 2 is by Next Level games, with Miyamoto assisting. Miyamoto decided to make it because he wanted to. It's far along, but they're holding it back a bit, so it'll be an early 2012 title.

-Skyward Sword looks and plays great. The overworld is a giant dungeon, and dungeons are basically dungeons within dungeons. You fly around from place to place on giant birds and can land at different points in the overworld, or fly back through the sky to the hub town in the sky. You will revisit dungeons in this one, so it's not just "go through each dungeon once". New map to make that easier considering that you do need to go back to places later. The girl in the art is indeed the spirit of the sword, as we thought.

-Mario Kart definitely 2011, some content by Retro (track designs or graphics or something like that)

-Press is banned from asking questions about Pikmin.

-Wii Vitality Sensor wasn't working in "a wide enough variety of environments" so it's on hold for now. They still want to do something with the idea at some point if/when they can get it working well enough.

-The raccoon suit in Super Mario 3DS can't fly apparently, they think it wouldn't work as well on a small screen? But you could fly with the rabbit ears in Super Mario Land 2...

-Miyamoto is sexist and thinks that only boys think about flying, not girls, hence Star Fox, Mario Galaxy, etc. But we knew Miyamoto was sexist a long time ago, so no news there unfortunately. That his sexism affects his games like that is one of the few issues I have with Miyamoto; I really love his games, but that is too bad.

-Miyamoto teased us about Pikmin again and said that they are working on Pikmin 3 for Wii U. It was moved over to Wii U from the Wii, where it had been in development. He wasn't supposed to mention it, apparently, but did anyway. Continuing the three or so year long trend of hinting at Pikmin in an E3 event without any further information until the next E3, huh?

 

[StickSoldier]

I never played Pikmin but it seems like a good game to use showcase the screen on the controller right?

 

[Jeels]

People need to stop asking for trailers. We are not getting first party Wii U trailers at this conference.

 

[Game-Biz]

Did Sakurai say anything?

Nintendo invites Sakurai to the roundtable and forces him to be silent. Excellent trolling, Nintendo. Well played.

 

[Keyouta]

Sweet. So if Pikmin is so far along, who thinks footage may be shown tomorrow?

 

[Iwatas Magic Sports Coat]

I wanted Pikmin on Wii.

No no, this is better. You'll likely still have the option to control it via pointer controls, but now it'll be in glorious HD. think of how awesome the garden environments will look. This & Dragon Quest X are the 2 games that I really hope would get moved to Wii U.

 

[Pre]

The same thing you do if a console breaks?

Yep, send it in to Nintendo.

 

[Tron 2.0]

Can't wait to hear about Pikmin at next year's E3 roundtable!

 

[Teknoman]

Would be nice if Pikmin and Mario were launch titles for U.

 

[Takeda Kenshi]

Disappointed about no Xenoblade/LS news, but LM2 and PIKMIN make up for it.

 

[Sianos]

That was almost a complete waste of two hours. Tomorrow should be better. :/

> Pikmin 3 finally announced
> It's going to be in glorious HD, etc.
>> Waste of time.

For a roundtable, this was pretty good.

 

[BlueMagic]

So will Sakurai attend the Dev Roundtable 2 tomorrow?

 

[Iwatas Magic Sports Coat]

People need to stop asking for trailers. We are not getting first party Wii U trailers at this conference.

I disagree. Ubi has already shown Ghost Recon Online, and apparently are showing Assassins Creed tomorrow. I can't see Nintendo walking out of E3 with the only Wii U games shown being 3rd party.

 

[gogojira]

So happy Pikmin 3 is Wii U. Not only is it going to look significantly better, the controller is a perfect fit.

 

[AceBandage]

I disagree. Ubi has already shown Ghost Recon Online, and apparently are showing Assassins Creed tomorrow. I can't see Nintendo walking out of E3 with the only Wii U games shown being 3rd party.

Yup.
Expect good stuffs.

Plus Mario 3DS sounds INCREDIBLE!!!

 

[upandaway]

Someone should just rename these from "Nintendo Developer Roundtable" to "Pikmin 3 Status Roundtable"

I feel an xzibit meme coming on.

 

[Grecco]

Less than it took people to get Duke Nukem Forever

 

[DarthButcher]

I feel an xzibit meme coming on.

YO, HERO OF TIME, I HEARD U LIKE DUNGEONS, SO I PUT A DUNGEON IN YO DUNGEON, SO U CAN RAGE WHILE U RAGE!
