A lot of new Pikmin 3 details were shown during Nintendo Direct today, such as the European release date, character information, and new gameplay mechanics, and you can read up on all of the new details after the break:
First off, we have confirmation that Pikmin 3 will be released on July 26th in Europe, before the Americas will receive the game. I’m calling luck hacks.
Three new characters to the Pikmin world were revealed as well, as you can see above, and their mission is to gather fruit seeds to save their planet called Planet Koppai. Of course, they need the help of the wonderful Pikmin to do this. Like Pikmin 2, all captains can be used to multi-task, but if you mess up while multi-tasking, you can replay the day and restart from any point that you’d like.
Both the GamePad or Wii U Pro Controller can be used to play the game, and by using the GamePad, you can play the game using off-screen play. However, Iwata also said that using the Wii Remote and Nunchuck will be the most intuitive and comfortable control scheme to use.
Iwata finally mentioned that more information on Challenge Mode and multiplayer would be discussed in the next Nintendo direct.
