Pikmin is awesome, was sad to hear that it wasn't going to be a launch game, that would have gotten Nintendo waaaay more money. Can't wait to play this in HD!! I am still hoping that a pikmin plushie will be a pre-order bonus.

the Manager at my local gamestop said that Pikmin 3 would be coming out on May 2 he also happens to be my friend and he got his info from his manages.

I decided to put down some history or background info rather about pikmin because I've had several people in PM's not knowing what it is and showing interest...


Pikmin (ピクミン Pikumin^?) is a strategy video game developed and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo GameCube video game console in 2001. Pikmin is the first game in the Pikmin series of video games, and was the third game for the Gamecube overall. It was designed by Shigeru Miyamoto.^[4] Pikmin was released on October 26, 2001 in Japan, December 2, 2001 in North America, and June 14, 2002 in Europe. The sequel, Pikmin 2, was released in 2004. Theimage song, "Ai No Uta" by Strawberry Flower, appeared in the Japanese commercials for the game, but soon became an unexpected hit song, eventually eclipsing Pikmin's sales. As of March 31, 2002, Pikmin has sold over one million copies.^[5]
Pikmin is a 3D, top-down, strategy game, with the player controlling Captain Olimar from a third-person viewpoint. Olimar is followed by the Pikmin, whom he directs. Both Olimar and the Pikmin are approximately an inch in height.^[6]
In 2009, the original Pikmin was re-released for the Wii as part of the New Play Control! series. Pikmin 2 was also re-released for Wii in Japan, Europe, and Australia, but it was not released in North America until June 2012, as a Nintendo Selects title.

WHY NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WHY PIKMIN WHY  YOU HAVE TO DIE SOOO EASILY

Wii U is powerful, I don't know why people say it's weak, the Wii U is getting the same version as Watch_Dogs as PS4. The only reason EA won't put games on it is they are butthurt about Nintendo saying no to Origin.

The Wii U is definitely much more powerful than the HD twins. Everything inside the Wii U is much newer technology, anybody who says otherwise doesn't have a clue. I guarantee you that first year Wii U games will look much better than any PS3/360 games.

OP Has a point, the games were amazing
