Title: Pikmin 3 The Game That Is Going To Change The Wii-U
Post by: Keebler on July 12, 2013, 08:37:14 AM
I think that Pikmin 3 is going to start the turnaround for the wii-u I have some ideas how we can make this a awesome thread when it comes out by posting all our awesome pictures we take from the game and post on miiverse....I think the time and effort Mr. Miyamoto put into this game is going to shine through and show alot maybe not all but alot of what the wii-u can really do....im hoping this thread will catch on on you guys really enjoy it....Thanks for reading

I'm sad I have to wait longer to get this game but I can't even do the early pre-order event. I like to see it in action.

For a game that originally started as a Wii game, I'd say Nintendo's developers are learning how to develop for HD pretty well. It'll be crazy to think what the second generation of Wii U games from Nintendo studio's will look like, if their first games are able to create graphics like this.

So far, from these pictures, this is a game about subjugating poor Pikmin into the ground never to frolick and be free.
Well, the last two Pikmin games were about a foreigner invading and enslaving the local wildlife to serve his bidding, especially in the 2nd game where Olimar only did it to exploit the planet's (un)natural resources to sell back home at a profit.
What? You can't say that subtext isn't there.

I really really hope The big N decides to start up some real DLC support for this game i think the team would create some unique levels by not having to stick to the strict story of the main story modes....LETS START A PETITION...lol

Maybe answer the question what do Pikmin do when they don't have overlords? Maybe Pikmin Snap DLC game.

It looks like an interesting game. I'm not sure if I'll get it day one or not, though. And yeah, combined with the rest of Nintendo's 2013 Wii U lineup, Pikmin 3 may mark the beginning of Wii U's upward climb.

Those screens really do look great.
I doubt this game will be the real start of Wii U's climb in sales but at least it will allow the U to gain some mind share in the heads of gamers.

I surely hope once my copy will be delivered to me (still a good week or two to go) it will magically transform my Wii U into golden happiness dispensing machine.
Now i need to play first two games though.

The Wii Motion Plus pointer aim is used with astounding efficiency. However, the limited camera control afforded by the control scheme is noticeable in how the camera jerks around.

Pikmin has always been a great looking game. I think Pikmin (original) arguably looks better (or more realistic) than anything on the Wii (exept NPC Pikmin).

If prior releases are an indication, it'll go up at 12 a.m. Eastern across all of North America, so if you're on the West coast it'll likely be out at 9 p.m. your time.

Post by: NWR_insanolord on August 05, 2013, 02:07:55 AM
I bought it right at midnight, but I haven't had a chance to play it yet. As a lot of people have pointed out, it would seem Nintendo's addressed some of the issues with their download process as the whole game downloaded for me in less than an hour. Whether that was real progress or a fluke remains to be seen.
Title: Re: Pikmin 3 The Game That Is Going To Change The Wii-U
Post by: broodwars on August 05, 2013, 02:23:27 AM
I also downloaded it last night, but I also have not played it yet. In my case, it's because I intend to play the game with the Wiimote & Nunchuk, but my TV is currently occupied watching a few shows. And yes, I know you can technically play the game off-screen pointing the Wiimote at the GamePad, but who seriously wants to do that? On Tuesday, Tales of Xillia and Dragon's Crown come out, so it's likely that I won't get to Pikmin 3 for a week or two at least.

Post by: BranDonk Kong on August 05, 2013, 09:37:37 AM
You're obviously not a hardcore fan. A hardcore fan would either use the Wiimote + Gamepad combo, or murder his family and play it on the TV.

I got it yesterday. I'm at Day 12 with a lot of days replayed and being stuck getting the Captain more days then I care for.
Beaten the 2 bosses I have in boss mode Co-op with my wife with a Bronze and Silver Respectively. Beaten all the Defeat the Enemies missions Co-op with my wife with a Bronze Medal and the last a Silver. Did a couple of the Treasure ones a little. Played 3 rounds of Bingo. Also Beat another level in the Pikmin game in NintendoLand.
I wish I could Co/Tri-Op the main campaign. Also its a pain to go from the Rocket Ship back to the Main Menu and I wish you could save anywhere. In fact I have to just restart the game to go back to the Main Menu from the rocket ship.

I realize now my personality and gaming habits won't allow me to finish this game. Like Fire Emblem, I've been replaying stages over and over and over! If I finish a day with only 1 fruit or I didn't rescue someone I restart. I've spent about 3 hours trying to rescue the captain and make sure none of my Pikmin were left behind. It is extremely satisfying knowing that my time was spent well.
I'm at day 11 now with about 5 hours clocked in, I'm really loving this. I never really gave the first 2 Pikmin titles a chance. I owned them but really didn't play them.
Oh and some portions of the game look so good! I have no worries about the graphical capabilities of the Wii U if this is a first generation game that started on the Wii. Though I did say that about Galaxy and nothing topped it afterward.

It's a foolish thing to say that this looks like a Wii game, but the reviews I've read have said the graphics are uneven with sone low texture areas and some stunning areas. My copy is in the mail so I'll have my own opinion soon.
I think that's where we are at now though. Unless you have infinite budget there are going to be a few holes. GT5 was a great game with a gigantic budget amd overall it looked amazing. But if I wanted to be a fanboy, I'd grab a screenshot of the people cheering you on before the rally races and compare it to PS1 games because those textures were brutally awful.

I like how the game looks better in the picture mode then when your running around but it still looks great running around. Their are places that doesn't look the greatest but a lot of the time they are also places with a lot going on. I haven't ran into a slow down and that's pretty big in a game that has so much going on at different times.

As a Wii U owner who hadn't really played the Wii U since last holiday season, I took a chance on Pikmin 3 and am really happy with the game. Triple A title all the way. Lots of fun. $65 after tax feels a bit steep in these modern times, but whatever. Great game so far.
Now for what I wanted to share. I had to go to a half dozen stores before I could find this game. I visited two Gamestops who only had enough copies for preorders. Fred Meyer neither knew that the game had released nor did they even have any copies in transit. I walked into Walmart (since I had finally traveled far enough to get to it) and saw that they had about 10 copies in stock. I KNEW Walmart would likely have it, but I was trying to slip into a nearby store on the way home.
Basically, what gives, Nintendo? This game isn't selling gangbusters, and I get the impression that you are only shipping enough copies to fill pre-orders... pre-orders that people aren't even picking up right away. This is not a great tactic for a company who needs more impulse purchases from consumers.

Post by: Ceric on August 07, 2013, 04:23:41 PM
If you saw 10 Copies of the game at Walmart then its probably not Nintendo but the individual chains buyers. In general on non-niche titles if Walmart, Target, etc. has a good amount of copies then its the other companies buyers more than likely.

Talking a Physical or Digital one? I'm assuming after initial load.
Physical. I never ejected the disc.

I envy you guys. I have too many bills to pay at this moment, this game is going to have to wait. Luckily I still have a lot of games to play to keep me busy.. i just hate being late to the party, thus late to the forum discussions.
For those who are enjoying Pikmin 3, so far what is the MOST negative thing you can say about it. (i need to keep my hype levels down)

That the Story does not have a Co-op Mode. There is no way for multiple people in the family to have there own story mode. The days are too short.

I would say it's still easy for Pikmin to get caught on walls following you, so you have to babysit them a lot still.
