I don't think Pikmin 3 was announced yet but at least try the GameCube games. I played on Pikmin 1 and it was good. I skipped the second one. I heard that Pikmin 2 was better. IMO, Pikmin is very suited for the console.

Pikmin 3 hasn't even been announced yet, let alone have a release date anytime soon. And I say you should at least play Pikmin 2.

No it hasn't.

- Miyamoto has been hinting at it for a while

- Nintendo power has been hinting at it for a while

- Nintendo recently "renewed" the Pikmin liscense. This is also unrelated to Olimar's apperence in Brawl.

You'd have to be a complete moron to think that Pikmin 3 won't be coming out anytime soon.

How is that a technical announcement? You just can't act as if it already happened.

As for Olimar in Brawl, how is that I'm not playing Ice Climbers on GC? :roll:

What do you mean? Nintendo recently renewed the Pikmin liscense, months prior to Olimar being announced. The Ice Climbers have nothing to do with this.

Pikmin 2 is a lot more complex then the first one, because you have 2 new pikmin and another character to deal with..

I hope they come out with a pikmin 3 for the wii! or mabye for the DS?

It means a new character in Brawl doesn't mean a new game for him. Even if Pikmin 3 is announced soon, it doesn't mean Olimar in Brawl was a hint of any sort - he was just a good character to add.

Bring me a link with the tentative release date. I searched for one, no site has it.

As for Miyamoto, he confirmed Pikmin hasn't died - no surprise - but it's no official announcement.

Anyway, I'm just asking you to be more careful and realist here. Assuming things that aren't fully announced, specially in such a big forum, usually leads to confusion and misinformation, and I've seen a lot of it since I joined GS Forums. Don't say Pikmin 3 has been announced, because it hasn't. Speculate all you want, but stick to the facts, you can even consider that Pikmin 3 will eventually come out is a fact, but you can't say it has been announced.

I think you are a little confused about the post. Toadster said that they renewed the liscense and that Nintendo didn't renew it just to put Olimar in Brawl. Toadster is basing this on the fact that they renewed it months before Olimar was annouced. So Toadster is actually saying Brawl has nothing to do with this.

As if the Brawl team didn't decide to add Olimar months and months before the announcement... :roll:

I think you are still missing the point... I don't really see how Brawl has anything to do with this.

EDIT: Also Pikmin is kinda like an RTS game. Its kinda hard to explain for me but you control the Pikmin to do different things. As to the TC, I say you should get Pikmin 2, you can probably find it used cheap.

1. Yes it is good and beautiful. Pikmin may come in 2008 and you can believe it all you want, if your speculation leads you to such conclusion. What you can't do, is to say it has been confirmed for 2008, or confirmed at all.

2. In case you didn't understand, I said that because that Pikmin cover was fake. Bringing me a fake cover as proof of a game existence (?!) and release in 2008 (?!?!) is as valid as if I brought a MGS4 Wii cover as proof it's coming for Wii. Anyone could do that.

i also didn't say it was coming out here. Japan has the best chance of getting it this year because they get everything first well mostly everything. I believe the speculation because i read a news type thing and it said that i don't remember where because im not a fan of Pikmin and i don't even know what Pikmin is about

Just because there is a picture of a case it doesn't mean it is real. You could look something really retarded like monkey crap for Wii and there will probably be a case that looks real with a picture of monkey dung on it.

It would be nice if Nintendo would release more copies of Pikmin 2 so that we didn't have to pay $50 for a used copy.
