I mean who doesn't love it? The games themselves are gorgeous and charming and so is the promo material.
In my Pikmin 3 anticipation I was searching for my Pikmin Gashapon mini Toy figurines. I took a crappy iPad-picture and spend some time in Photoshop. Of course it doesn't touch the official ones, but it was fun:

Bouns: 3D Picture for your 3DS (raw, unedited):

Instructions: Press "L" or "R" on the 3DS-Homescreen and select the QR-icon (the normal Photo-App doesn't have the option, also you need a fairly new firmware for this). It should take you to the pic and you can save it to your 3DS. Normal link: http://3dporch.com/z8hd


And here are some official ones, the first two make for awesome HQ Wallpapers:

Yeah, it's pretty fantastic. Great for boxart, too.

Crosspost from Custom Cover thread:

In other news, I made some Pikmin 3 covers using that art Weng posted. It's like they were all perfectly suited to boxart!

I think #6 is my favourite.

It really is a beautiful game. I'm always interested in marketing material etc and Pikmin 3 has some great promo shots.

 

[Kai Dracon]

The basic premise of Pikmin really lends itself to creating striking and lushly textured diorama scenes.

[ASTROID2]

Looking in there eyes is tough in this image. :'(

 

[Outtrigger888]

Nice, OP. I like it.

 

[Yuterald]

A friend of mine suggested that it would be cool if Pikmin embraced a Claymation artstyle. The more I look at some of this art the more I think about how cool the game would look in that style.

 

[blamite]

The Japanese TV ads for Pikmin 3 are pretty fantastic too: 1, 2, 3

Draw me like one of your French girls

These are absolutely beautiful!

Are there non-watermarked versions I can download somewhere?

 

[:Motorbass]

Nice, OP. I like it.

Thanks. I should have bought more of the figurines back then. They are crazy expensive now on eBay.

Oh I forgot: Who can find the white Pikmin in my pic? ;]

Oh, i see him. Hanging out on the flowers. Looks cool with that bloom effect.

really cool display by the way. Wish I had some Pikmin figures! It's criminal NoA won't offer any Pikmin stuff with Club Nintendo.

I couldn't find them ):

To be honest the Pikmin art looks like bland and generic shit; too colorful, too kid-orientated, pretty meh - after playing TLoU, this seems like a high budget joke from Nintendo

I wish they would stop playing it safe and try something radically different - something like this for example:

Please bring Pikmin back to the 21st century, Nintendo. Thanks.

I almost took you seriously, lol.

 

[Exile20]

I really hope this sells a lot. So much charm. I would hate for Nintendo to put this in the vault with 1080, Fzero, Waverace, etc.

I really hope that they make new Mini Figurines. They had a Pikmin 1 and 2 series...

COME ON NINTENDO! I need a bigger army!

You had me going, until I saw the pic. haha

Blue and white Pikimns always make me laugh for some reason.

Reds are straight up cute.

 

[The Librarian]

Pikmin art is really great. Have that wonderful color background for my computer.

 

[Oracle Dragon]

Fantastic! It's hard to resist, I'm sure I'm in the minority but for me the original Pikmin WAS the "system seller" on the Gamecube... it made me buy the system and it was the first (and only) game I got at the same time. Of course other greats like Sunshine, Metroid, etc, found there way into my home and were great as well... but for me the GC always brings back Pikmin memories. It's going to be difficult not to buy a WiiU, and lord help me if there is a price cut on the thing

 

[Aguila]

So beautiful. ;_;

I've wondered though, are the Pikmin in these new Pikmin 3 promo shots real models or computer renderings? They are incredibly detailed. You can see pigment patterns on the skins of the Pikmin.

Stop posting and get to making the OT! People are waiting!

 

[nailbombxx]

Beautiful stuff.

 

[Battle Born]

I love how vibrant the colors are and how adorable the Pikmin are. Pikmin 3 is a beautiful game but I hope the next one looks likes a little more like this:

I am/have been working on it hard! I hope you guys like it as much as this art :'(

With so much charm this game has there is no way we wouldn't like it. I can't wait.

 

[Mysterious]

Imagine if Pikmin 4 looked like this art.

:O :O: O :O :O

 

[Tan]

Maybe next next

Spoiler

next

gen...

But sometime during my lifetime I hope.

 

[kuppy]

Yeah, it's awesome. Thanks for giving me a new desktop background.

 

[Razlo]

I too want a Pikmin game that looks like the promo art.

 

[blamite]

Urgh, it's becoming incresingly difficult to resist buying a Wii U for Pikmin...

Spoiler

and a lot of future games as well, but Pikmin is all I'd play for a good while.

FLAWLESS VICTORY.

Anyway, yeah, some really great promo art here.

But then there is The Wonderful 101. Oh so good.

 

[JasoNsider]

This thread is fantastic!

Can somebody round all these up into one big gallery for easy sharing? This is too beautiful to be scattered around (and I'm not sure the best way to do this)

 

[Mad Bowser]

This is fantastic!

 

[Deku Tree]

I do love it.

 

[BorkBork]

Lovely lovely stuff. I have a new wallpaper for my desktop and a new background for my blog.

 

[morikaze]

:O :O: O :O :O

Well if Nintendo stopped being stubborn and went third party already Pikmin 3 might have!

Spoiler

:lol
Pikmin 3 is beautiful enough for now

 

[:Motorbass]

Lovely lovely stuff. I have a new wallpaper for my desktop and a new background for my blog.

You know, it's an awesome idea to loop the image, but it wasn't seamless, so I made a continuous version. There's also now a four-leaf-clover in there somewhere... :]

<3 this thread

So much cuteness (and cruelty)!

Edit: Ha! Found it! (and thanks for my new desktop background!)

 

[kizmah]

Those japanese TV ads are absolutely amazing. Copy and paste NoA and NoE! Just replace the girl with Zelda and it's done.

Anyhow, can't wait for my copy to arrive. Only 12 days left in Europe.

 

[HueyFreeman]

Pikmin may actually be gamings most charming franchise. You can't not love it.

 

[NewGame]

Video games need this sort of imagination.

 

[efyu_lemonardo]

alright, anybody here intending to get a Wii U when this comes out?

 

[RichardAM]

Here for the wallpapers.

The Pikmin promo art has been fantastic throughout the series.
