Pikmin 3 interview (More like Pikmin 1 than 2)

This is old, but nobody posts anything about this game.

There are some interesting things to note. This in particular caught my eye

"Miyamoto: I guess to address that question, I'd like to go back to discussing how Pikmin and Pikmin 2 were different. In Pikmin, you had a very strategic game, bound by a somewhat severe rule set. Whereas in Pikmin 2, you had a game where it was really just fun to explore areas and use your Pikmin in lots of different places. So we had this kind of conversation, do we go for deep strategy where people have to avoid killing Pikmin or try to lose as few as possible? I think that was a concept that always really appealed to me. [The other option was] do we go for lots of different types of maps and different sorts of collectible items, where it's fun to just wander around and do different sorts of things? Introducing lots of new Pikmin types and lots of different Pikmin abilities for people to play around with.

We decided on the concept that I was most partial to, the strategic type of game. But we've made it a little bit more accessible this time around, in that the player can see the entire map at once and they can also see a replay of their actions at the end of the day, so they can adjust their strategy based on that. I think the map ended up playing a really important role in the game design."

I'm very excited to here the game's become stricter again. That sense of urgency was the one thing I liked more about the first game over the second. To have that strategical time constraint in tandem with the robust content of the second game would make for the perfect Pikmin game IMO

Yet it was the deepest core showing of any of the big three this E3... What does that say?

I hate Pikmin, but this is great for Pikmin fans... I guess.

I just started playing the second Pikmin this week, and I have to agree with this news. If they can match that sense of urgency and the strategy the first one had with the fun of exploration and content of Pikmin 2, with this new one I think it will be a great game. What I'd really like to know if how will the flying pikmin be used. pretty excited for this game.

The fact that Nintendo opened with Pikmin was pathetic. In my eyes it is far and away their most over-rated franchise. The fact people claim it looks better than 360 and PS3 games is sad. For once I will agree with the game press instead of the guys in forums....It was an HD Gamecube game just like New Mario Wii 2 is an HD DS game.

It looks really shallow too. All you do is go around and shoot stuff

Yeah I hope it is more like one. I like the gameplay advancements with all the new pikmin, being able to switch between leaders and stuff... but it was too relaxed, and a bit too silly also. The story was just dumb, I liked the idea of, having to find ship parts so that I can survive and make it off the planet alive a lot more than, LOL OLIMAR, FIND THINGS AND MAKE YOUR BOSS SOME MONIES.

WHUT?

What the hell is wrong with people in this thread? Most of these posts have a bunch of baseless crap or fanboy garble. Shut up, you ninnies. Pikimin is awesome. I never got much hands on time with the sequel but it had a lobster on the box, and that was badass. It's a really nice mesh of puzzle-solving, strategy and exploration. I don't have any plans on getting a Wii U, but I hope everyone who does checks this out. Especially you, Pikminmaniac, you were praying for this game years ago. :PNAPK1NS

And Ninnies?:shock:

Sounds great though I never got around to playing Pikmin or Pikmin 2.

I'm 25 and i didn't buy game for over 7 months.. Not because i'm cheap but for the lack of interest in games.. But pikmin 3 for some reason made me feel like i was 15 YO again, didn't get this excited for a game in a long timeMetal-8654

I had the same feeling with witcher 2 just recently.

Sounds cool. Glad they're heading in that direction.

I really regret posting this on system wars. What was I thinking?

Pikminmaniac

Don't worry, at least I find it interesting?

Ugh... I strongly prefer the other route Miyamoto mentioned. Pikmin 2 was a much more enjoyable game for me - I liked the freedom to explore at my own pace and knowing that if me and my Pikmin were fairing poorly we could just return to the surface and farm Pikmin / resources.

When I'm being timed I honestly get a bit stressed out and have difficulty enjoying myself.

Deeper than planetside 2? Yeah no.

Hope they can create the sense of urgency without a timer. The timer is annoying :?

Worked well with Pikmin, but I don't want to do it again.

My bad I read that as deepest core showing this E3.

This is good new I enjoyed Pikmin 1 alot more then pikmin 2 despite it having more gameplay options The time limit and 30 day limit played a big part in that gave the game a totally different feel from the second one.
