Title: Pikmin 3
Post by: D_Average on June 02, 2009, 08:18:45 PM
Its coming folks, its coming:
IGN: You didn't show Pikmin 3, which is what we were expecting you to show. That kind of surprised us. Why not? (http://wii.ign.com/articles/989/989857p1.html)
Reggie: Matt, we're all about surprises. We will show that game when it's ready. At the right time. Close to when it's going to be launched. It's not there yet. But Mr. Miyamoto still has his roundtable to do, so maybe you'll see. Maybe you might get that surprise after all.
Prediction, Miyamoto will be surrounded by Pikmin at the roundtable. They will slap those who ask stupid questions.

Um, OK? So just confirmation that the game is still under development, that is nice.
How about someone ask Reggie where the Kirby game is that was announced like 6 years ago?

lol, Can't wait to hear deatails!
Just think of pikmin with online play! Either co-op battles with two diffrent forces, or a death match with 100 pikmin vs. 100 pikmin in a fight to the death! The possibilitys!

The lag would be atrocious with 200 Pikmin running around between somewhere like New York and Japan. Maybe 100 Pikmin (it's always been that number), but online feels doubtful somewhat.

I know, wishfull thinking. But if it was like pikmin 2 multiplayer, a player with say 3 starting pikman, could produce a small army of 20 pikmin and collect space junk and bring it back to their ships for points.
Or, have a tug of war game where there is one big item in the middle of the map, and pikman from both teams can tug on it, which ever side has more pikman pulls a bit harder their way. 1 pikman could tip the scale!
Once again, wishfull thinking, but I do wonder on the story they'll come up with ;p

According to Miyamoto they have a small team working on Pikmin 3 because most of their workforce is focused on other games, so that's why nothing major was shown.

I doubt they'd show anything before Pikmin 2 NPC comes out (if/when). The fact that they are STILL working on it is enough for now. They could've easily canceled it.

NPC Pikmin 2 is out already though in Europe and Japan !
FIXED. :o :o I got all excited for nothing >:(
my guess it will be shown at TGS. Japan bought pikmin games allot more than Americans. The could have shown it but since allot of japanese would want to play it and they are scared of coming to america because of H1N1 virus they rather just wait and have trailer and demo for Japan at TGS.
Title: Re: Pikmin 3
Post by: NovaQ on June 08, 2009, 08:51:05 PM
Does anyone suppose NoA will advertise this game at all before the American release? Hopefully they will, but I can see this being one of those awesome games that gets ignored because other, bigger games come out around the same time (or for no apparent reason at all).

I remember Pikmin 1's commercials (especially with the help of Mr. Adolph Vega). You probably remember Metroid Prime 1's commercial (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTVMNh_icO8), but what about the commercials for Metroid Prime 3? MP3 is a Wii sequel to a series that started on GameCube with some marketing push, which experienced some - but not overwhelming - success. When MP3 came along, there was very little advertising. That's the concern I was pondering over.
Now, I'm not trying to derail the thread with Nintendo-based negativity. I guess I was just tying thoughts from this recent blog post (http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/forums/index.php?topic=28556) to this thread. No matter what kind of advertising the game gets, I'm really looking forward to playing it.
Title: Re: Pikmin 3
Post by: Stogi on June 09, 2009, 10:55:14 AM
Ok, you picked literally THE BEST COMMERCIAL EVER to compare to MP3 (which did have advertising, the "Wii would like to play"). And while I agree with you, I feel that Nintendo's marketing (on the American side at least) has been leaps and bounds better.
I'm not sure if Pikmin 3 will get alot of advertising, and I understand your argument (that you can't look at the trend; Nintendo's random), but who cares if it "flops" or not? It's guaranteed to sell at least a mil. And maybe that's a criteria Nintendo use in order to affixiate marketing funds.
I'll buy it.

Yeah, I hope it sells well. I plan on picking it up, too.
Title: Re: Pikmin 3
Post by: Stogi on September 20, 2009, 08:01:53 PM
So I literally just woke up from a dream. It was about Pikmin 3 and it was awesome. The view wasn't the same at all. I was behind Olimar with the camera looking upwards towards the tree-like stalks of grass and giant mushrooms and bugs.
GAMEPLAY
My goal was the same, but it played differently. For one, though you had a camp site, you could move it using the pikmin. Also, it could randomly be subject to attack. You could invest in your camps protection by using what was called hours. Hours let you build certain things such as huge bridges, walls, and other things of interest. You would gain hours by killing things or finding treasure (basically, progressing through the game).
Anyway, the world was completely different. Instead of stages, it was just one vast ever expanding map. The map was consistently about avoiding traps, exploring, and finding or killing things. I also had to utilize creatures in order to progress or to quickly go back from one place to another. To use these creatures, I had to utilize a new style of pikmin -- the ghost pikmin. These pikmin had the supernatural ability to control other animals. They can't die by conventional means, but if you possess a creature for too long, they disappear. In relation to the creature, the ghost pikmin could possess them for a short or longer periods of time. This was especially cool because not only could I control humongous creatures and make them do my bidding (using a butterfly to fly across a puddle), but it made for some really unique situations. For instance, to get past a colony of bulborbs, I decided to possess one of the mamas that was stranded, then hop in its mouth and use it too sneak by the rest of them.
Other new pikmin include: strong pikmin -- best for light missions where you don't have the means to take a whole bunch of pikmin, they can also throw other pikmin; slippery pikmin -- this pikmin can change shape including molding themselves to little tiny trampolines (though you need other pikmin to stretch them) and parachutes; fat pikmin -- though slow, these pikmin are a great way to hurt an enemy (especially if thrown by a strong pikmin), they can also roll down hills and be bowled to break barriers; scout pikmin -- pikmin with the ability to camouflage, great way to explore ahead; and finally, smart pikmin -- these are the best addition by far, one because their awesome, and two because they are hilarious.
You can teach smart pikmin one strategy to employ with however many pikmin their level of intelligence can handle. For instance, I can teach one to guard the base from enemies. Their intelligence also allows for the strategy to grow in complexity (from throw a pikmin to throw a pikmin on a tree to throw a pikmin on the back of bulborb). I can also teach them incredibly pointless things, like how to throw a pikmin to its death (the funny thing about this is, is that they feel so happy and proud of themselves when they do it; it's just so ironic that I found it hilarious). The more they perform their task, the higher a level they become (so throwing a pikmin to its death, though wrong, might be great way to smarten up your pikmin).
You also have to discipline them or reinforce them when they are doing something right by either slapping them (hilarious) or tickling them (equally hilarious).
But be careful, smart pikmin and ghost pikmin are extremely rare and invaluable, so you must take great care to never lose them. The other pikmin can be grown or, in a new feature, traded out (though they still have to be grown).
Anyway, I could use my pikmin in more unique ways such as making them build a tower so I could climb it and view the terrain. I could also make pikmin art (where you build them into shapes or using the different colors, images). This was useful if I wanted to scare something away; I could just make a giant angry face. It's also useful because it allows you to make custom formations.
VISUALS & SOUND
The visuals were gorgeous and clean. Everything was alive with animation. The grass swayed with the wind, bugs flew overhead, clouds casted a shadow on the ground, and it all seemed so perfectly random. The pikmin looked as cute as ever with their own caricatures of what they represented. The now how even more personality. They giggle when their happy, proud when they are picked, determined when we face down an enemy, and so tragically sad when they die. Though I will say, they now have hilarious screams when they are thrown to their death. The noises in the world are much better as well. For one, most the animals communicate amongst themselves more. There were better sound effects, such as trickling water or the thud of the pikmin hitting the ground.
----------------
In the end my dream was bittersweet....On the one hand, I am so ridiculously hyped for Pikmin 3. I'd go buy another wii just to play it. On the other hand, I know it'll never play like this and that makes me a sad panda.

Quote from Miyamoto regarding Pikmin: (http://wii.ign.com/articles/104/1042963p1.html)
Quote
"Regarding the question of SD or HD, it must depend on each software. For example, we have to ask ourselves if HD is really necessary to develop Wii Fit. Won't HD be better for the games like Pikmin?"
This makes me wonder if Pikmin isn't going to be held back as a launch title for the next Nintendo system. We are beginning to approach that point in a generation cycle where games in development could get bumped to the next generation system.
Either way, hearing that Miyamoto views Pikmin as something deserving really good graphics is good in my opinion.
Title: Re: Pikmin 3
Post by: Caterkiller on November 09, 2009, 12:02:24 PM
I was happy to read that Miyamoto does think Pikmin would be best suited with HD visiuals. But I didn't think that it could be a new title for the next Nintendo. That would be awesome though.

But its not like Nintendo can have HD graphics in its games right? Unless they release a brand new console, there really is no way to upgrade the visuals correct?
Title: Re: Pikmin 3
Post by: Ian Sane on November 09, 2009, 01:04:20 PM
Hearing Miyamoto discuss the possiblity of using HD graphics is encouraging. The way things have been going, I've been expecting the next Wii to be only the most minor upgrade. So it's good to hear some acknowledgement that there is some use for improving the specs.
Of course Pikmin would benefit from HD. Pikmin is all about controlling an army of little creatures. A higher resolution allows one to view more Pikmin at once. Better hardware allows for more Pikmin to be on screen at once without a hit to the framerate. Pikmin was one of the rare Gamecube games where it just HAD to be done on the Cube. You couldn't do it on lesser hardware because you couldn't get 100 guys running around.

Little King's Story scratched my Pikmin itch for awhile, but I'm really looking forward to more info on this one. The good news, at least, is when we finally hear something we won't have to wait long to get it in our hands...
Also, Stogi, ghost Pikmin that can possess creatures sound awesome! 8)

More like E3 2011
Nintendo new policy forbids showing off a game more than 1 year before it's released. Better for hardcore fans to complain that Nintendo has no games than constantly harassing them asking about release dates and details with everyone else.

64DD.
The 64DD was finished, and it resulted in a product that was released (in Japan). Anyway, a game is a completely different thing than a piece of hardware. All you have to do with a game is release it and that's it, but a piece of hardware you have to continue to support if you want it to go somewhere. A game requires much less of a commitment.
Title: Re: Pikmin 3
Post by: Chozo Ghost on March 22, 2010, 06:26:17 PM
If you want a better example though, you should point at the SNES CD add-on that never materialized. Unlike the 64DD that was actually never released anywhere, although it did create the framework for what would become the PS1.

Title: Re: Pikmin 3
Post by: Stratos on March 25, 2010, 03:23:21 AM
Well, either way I'm assuming that a new Pikmin will be on the way at some point. It's not like the series was a flop. It was quite successful. I half wonder if they are beginning to think about holding back projects for the new Wii 2 or whatever. The 3DS will be out next year so I would expect 2012 to be when we start seeing the next console being revealed. If Pikmin 3 is actually on the back burner being worked on during Miyamoto's spare time or something with two other guys then it might become a launch title for that next system.
Is it too early to start looking for the generation jumping development like we saw with Eternal Darkness, Star Fox Adventures and Resident Evil 0 going from N64 to Gamecube?

It probably won't because of the 3D thing. Unless the 3D stuff is entirely visual and they aren't going to make games that aren't playable if run in 2D mode (which might be the case since some people can't see in 3D). Plus the DS didn't have a TV-out. It doesn't seem like Nintendo's style.
Damn it! Don't get my hope up about it having that! ;)

I actually think it would be easier to follow, especially if you combine both screens. With the depth that 3D gives you (not the pop out of the screen kind of the 3D, but true perspective), it'll be much easier to judge distance and thus keep your pikmin out of harms way.

Nintendo won't even support HD in the here and now. Why would they make their portable output to cutting edge 3D TVs?
And I don't own a 3D TV so this would do me no good anyway.
Plus Nintendo has found a way to circumvent all of that fancy 3D tech anyways. Their 3D won't require glasses or anything. They might have just killed the push for expensive 3DTVs before it's even begun.

I doubt this will kill off 3DTV; the tech behind 3D-sans-glasses is actually pretty common, but it requires the user to be standing in a fairly precise spot.
No, the pointlessness and expense of 3DTV is what will kill off 3DTV.

3D isn't bad, but 3DTV's won't take off for a LONG time. Regular HDTV's are only now starting to become more common and those people are not gonna go out and buy another very expensive TV so soon.

Stop it. You're breaking Sony's heart.

3D actually makes a lot more sense for a handheld than for a TV. With the handheld you already have the display, so you don't need to spend a few K to get the right TV, and if the 3D only works if you view it from a certain angle then that's fine too, because with a handheld you are ALWAYS viewing the screen from the same angle, but with a TV you could have people sitting in multiple spots in a room so it might create some issues.
