There have been many threads about the new Zelda. So I think Pikmin deserves some attention even though we know nothing about it. Lets just have some fun and Speculate.

Lets put down a youtube speculation vid for the fun of it

XD

Lets see...I guess I'll start off

  • The game will have Co-Op
  • The artstyIe will represent the clay statues from Pikmin 2...
  • The other 2 Pikmin (purple, white) will be taken out in exchange for 2 new Pikmin.
  • Or, There will be more Pikmin and they will all just have one onion.
  • There will be a Pikmin that can fly.
  • There will be more of an open world.
  • It will be just as awesome as SMG/Zelda
  • Graphics will be just as amazing as SMG, and Other M (and Zelda wii if it looks as good)
  • The final boss will be Ganondorf & Bowser, after being shrunk to the size of the final boss in Pikmin 1 at the end of SMG2 and Zelda Wii:P

As of now, No Speculation is Impossible...Well maybe some (master chief or some other weird 3rd party involved)

But since we have no info on the game, pretty much anything is accepted.

So, who has some wild speculation.

Besides just being awesome, it should come with NPC Pikmin and NPC Pikmin 2 on the disk. We need more stuff like MP Triliogy IMO. NPC Pikmin did poorlyin the states and NPC Pikmin 2 is already out in Japan, so just throw them both on the disk.

I think that if nintendo was going to release a pikmini 3, they would have atleast said something about it by now. wasnt the NPC Pikmini 2 supppost to be out in the US by now? If u cant wait, then go get Little Kings Story. Much better game then Pikmini is(and i like Pikmini)

I really need Pikmin 3. I loved the first two installments, so naturally I'd be ecstatic for the 3rd one. I just want them to make it right now. I'll worry about all the features when more solid info is released about the game. I just hope it gets released.

I like the idea in the OP about pikmin that can fly and I think it'd be cool if Olimar got a jetpack as well so he can hover/fly short distances/cliffs.

Also I hope they announce it full blown with a trailer and stuff at E3. :)

They have already said multiple times that it's in development. The question is if it's still in development or if it's been cancelled. And if it hasn't how far in development is it?

I really like the flying Pikmin idea.

However I hope they do not just stack new Pikmin into the game add Wiimote controls and call it a day.

I want more in depth boss battles and new gameplay possibilities.

I would like online as it is yet another game perfect for online with Coop and VS modes, but many people here seem to dislike anything about online play...

Could you explain the offscreen concept? I tried looking that up but never really got anything on it or what games use it for Wii. I am guessing it would be beneficial to FPS other cursor heavy games.

i know that they have said its being made, but Wii;s life is more then 1/2 over, and as much as people have been wanting Starfox, pikmini, DK, etc... we only have about 2 years to go, and unless they announce them soon, there will be no point to releasing it until the next gen, if even then.

I love this idea. :D

That was one of my favorite ideas too! I cameup with it thinking about how the cover on NPC Pikmin2 looked awesome, and i wish the acctualy game looked like it.

BTW, people no need to fear. Pikmin 3 most likely will be here. It had decent sells thanks to Japan. Miyamoto expressed a lot of interest in it. Nintendo also said they would show it close to launch. I guess that means the first trailer will be shown 3-6 months before it is released. So we may not even see it at E3. Or maybe we will get even more lucky, and get it this year, and see it at E3:P

Needs the ability to combine Pikmin and combine their traits.

Also environments you can only take one type of Pikmin in, say a rainy spot in the world, but there are logs that you can take Pikmin into outside of the rain so they want die, and you can only take blue ones outside of the logs.

And have a heated area (volcano) you can only take red Pikmin into but there will be cooling sports you can take all types into.

I thought that there could be small moments where you directly control a Pikmin.

It means what it sounds like. :) MotionPlus enables the Wii to track your cursor even if the sensor bar doesn't pick it up. Wherever you point the 'mote, the game knows, and doesn't spazz out when IR camera and IR dots don't meet anymore. Zangeki no Reginleiv and Red Steel 2 use it, and The Conduit, Reflex or Shattered Memories should have used it...

Miyamoto said it was a small team too, which may end up being a problem as there are so many routes Pikmin 3 could go.

Pikmin 2 was a great game. I never played the first one a whole lot because I don't own it. I hope they come out with a third one with Cooperative play in story mode.

What do you mean? We heard of it some time this year after E3. Miyamoto and some other guy confirmed it. I have faith it's still in production.
