Miyamoto went on to say that Pikmin 3 would be a combination of both, presumably having strict rules and the need for careful, strategic planning, while aslo being able to explore and use many new Pikmin and their abilities in fun, new ways. | Miyamoto went on to say that Pikmin 3 would be a combination of both, presumably having strict rules and the need for careful, strategic planning, while aslo being able to explore and use many new Pikmin and their abilities in fun, new ways. | ||
Based on Miyamoto's comments it can be assumed that Pikmin 3 may have a time limit like the first game did.<ref>http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/06/11/the-origins-of-pikmin-3</ref>. | |||

However, the Pikmin themselves will be able to preform a multitude of different tasks. There are new hazards such as ice and magma-based enemies. [[Olimar]], for a reason Miyamoto wants to stay secret, was not a playable character during the E3 demonstrations. Instead, a pink-haired girl, a bald general, a small blue haired boy and a tall, green-haired man are the playable characters. <ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PejuG2W2hV4 Pikmin 3 Showfloor Footage]</ref> | ||

Some enemies will take more damage if pikmin are thrown onto specific parts of their bodies. Two control options are currently available: The Wii U Gamepad and the Wii remote (with Wii MotionPlus) & nunchuck. The players will be able to use the Wii U Gamepad to view different parts of the map. The Wii remote & nunchuck configuration will control similarily to the Wii versions of Pikmin and Pikmin 2. One key difference is the omission of the ability to move pikmin around the pilot as a group. | ||

It appears have been altered somewhat; the player can use a flicking motion with the nunchuck to make the pikmin charge at a target. This is mentioned by Miyamoto during Nintendo's E3 2012 press conference, and it is seen briefly in the first game trailer. A new ability has also been added; captains can now quickly roll side-to-side, and any Pikmin following them will do the same.<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4ZBpcY99m4&feature=related</ref> | ||
The game was confirmed to have an additional Multi-player gaming mode. It will not, however, have the online multi-player capabilities other Wii U games have displayed, due to complications such as too many screens dropping and having so many Pikmin, may cause lag in the pikmin's unique movements. <ref>http://www.forbes.com/sites/davidthier/2012/06/12/bad-news-pikmin-3-will-have-no-online-multiplayer/</ref>[[File:Pikmin3_BulborbSwarm.png|thumb|330px|The new "swarm" tactic allows players to target enemies and object, which displays their name above head, locks the reticle on them, and directs all Pikmin to attack the target.]] | The game was confirmed to have an additional Multi-player gaming mode.
