Pikmin was just a slight mention... nothing special... I'm ~CrystalLucario~ And I approve this message.

It is confirmation that it is in development for the Wii though. —Jimbo Jambo

... No really... I thought it was for PS3... I'm ~CrystalLucario~ And I approve this message.

Well, people were suggesting the possibility that it was going to be for the DS. Also, this shows that progress is being made. —Jimbo Jambo

I hereby will no longer doubt that Pikmin 3 is being made. I was trying to hold on to my excessive pessimism, but I no longer do so...--Prezintenden

About time... I'm ~CrystalLucario~ And I approve this message.

Prezintenden You may just want to hang on to your pessimisim, \ http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=198399

Hey, you. Yeah, you, future person. post how the game is on the discussion after it comes out. --Louie G. 15:37, 3 June 2012 (EDT)

OH COME ON PIKMIN 2 COST $60 NOW IT IS GONNA BE $50 ON THE WII!!!!!!!!! Aeaereaareahehrehaaheeehrerhhah.... Phail... I'm ~CrystalLucario~ And I approve this message.

I'm crying on the inside.... —Jimbo Jambo

This can't be what they meant the whole time.

...Can it?--Prezintenden

Well, they never actually said they were making a new Pikmin game, they just said "We're making Pikmin." —Jimbo Jambo

Uber-Phail... I am rocky0718 and i PWN

How can they do this? I mean, they lead everyone to believe that they were making Pikmin 3, the they bitch slap us in the face. Also, moar info: Pikmin (1)(1.5) will be released on the wii on dec 25, 2008. Pikmin 2 (2.5) will be releaased sometime next year. THIS IS SO MUCH FAILER.

Found a vid of it. Appears that it will be like Pkmin, but with crappy, shakey controls! ill still buy it though >.<

Oh, and it looks like it will cost $35. IAMAHIPO_ocolor 19:44, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

NOOOOOOOO!!! I PAYED ALMOST TWICE AS MUCH FOR THE GAMEECUBE VERSION *CRY* ULTRA-MEG-PHAIL!!!!!!!! I guess this means no Pikmin 3 *Cry* NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!� ;_; I'm ~CrystalLucario~ And I approve this message.

To copy what I said at GameFAQs, I think I'd prefer GCN controls for this as opposed to anything they could implement on the Wii. If anything would be incredible with Wii controls, it's Metroid Prime 1/2 with Corruption-like controls. Now that is something I'd buy. But this; no. Like you, I hope there's a proper new game in the works.

Pikmin was also reconfirmed for the Nintendo Wii with Miyamoto adding the fact that the current build of Pikmin has the WiiMote working extremely well with it. 'Adding the fact' indicates that having Pikmin 1 work with Wii controls is a side thing; that it's not the main project. /hopefulGP

DAMN YOU SHIGURE MIAMOTO!!!!! YOU FREAKIN PUPPET MAKER-GUY!!! WHY, WHY, WHY, Why, Why, why, [sub]why, why...[/sub] WHY!!! I am rocky0718 and i PWN

NOOO! I paid twice that aount for pikmin2, too! (sob) but I'm still getting pikmin3 when it comes out. ^_^ Nin10dude

PIKMIN 3 Announcement

Paint Kirby 02:00, 4 November 2008 (UTC)Listen people PIKMIN 3 has been announced by Shigeru Miyamoto and in co-producment with Satoru Iwata the current CEO/President of NINTENDO and maker of the PIKMIN Game Series.

Even IGN has announced it as well and IGN isn't allowed to sell lies on their gaming site. SO just to clear your thinking of there making new Pikmin not a new PIKMIN game. They are making a new PIKMIN game. So just check your facts YOUR TRUE FACTS before you go posting stuff and getting people all freaked. you need more reliable sources.

~BOOMYA~

Um...I'm pretty sure the article says that...unless you're interpreting "a new Pikmin" as something other than "a new Pikmin game." —Jimbo Jambo

We never said it wasn't '>.> I'm ~CrystalLucario~ And I approve this message.

so its for sure there is a pikmin 3? -pikmin rocks!!!

DOES NO ONE LISTEN! WE ALREADY SAID THAT! THE ARTICAL SAYS THAT! btw, are you the same Pikmin Rocks!!!? I'm ~LonelyTurret~ And I approve this message.

On YouTube I saw this video called Pikmin 3 trailer Wii by lionpikmin. It is not a good video, but he does have these Pikmin stuffed animals and he has one that is a black Pikmin, a pink Pikmin, and a brown Pikmin. I think either he made them himself or Nintendo already has some new Pikmin planned out. -Pikmin Expert 00:40, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

Custom stuffed >.> I'm ~LonelyTurret~ And I approve this message.

i don't know if i am doing this right, But have there been any recent discoveries about pikmin 3?

You think it's takin long for this? I waited 8 YEARS for the next Banjo Kazooie game!!! <span class="plainlink" title="GJ's User Page" _rte_attribs=" class=?plainlink? title=?GJ's User Page?"> GoldenJiggies's<span class="plainlink" title="GJ's Talk Page" _rte_attribs=" class=?plainlink? title = ?GJ's Talk Page?"> Talk GJ

Green also somehow tracked me to the B-K wiki, though I don't know/remember how. Anyway, I'm not hiding it, though I am a little ashamed I haven't been more active there lately, considering I'm supposed to be an admin. Anyway, yeah, a B-K console game took so long to get off the ground that it totally skipped the Gamecube/PS2/XBox generation (they came out with two games in that time, but both were for the GBA). —Jimbo Jambo

Uhhh... Were blue? GJ fix ur sig... I'm ~LonelyTurret~ And I approve this message.

Too late. I did it for him. The MarioGalaxy2433g5 {talk/contribs/Logs} 21:56, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

NOW IT IS FIXED! The MarioGalaxy2433g5 {talk/contribs/Logs} 21:59, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

IMA FIXED! I'm ~LonelyTurret~ And I approve this message.

Anyway... To the original question, everything we know concerning Pikmin 3 is on the article. And didn't Metroid Prime come after an even longer gap in that series? I'm sure there have been longer delays even than that too. And, apart from the fact that you asked me to help you with something there, JJ, I have no idea how I found you...GP

Was it the Reboot wiki then? I remember we were speaking in the chat, and I was editing another wiki, and you were suddenly like "Found you!" and...something. —Jimbo Jambo

I...um...maybe?GP

Yeh... Metroid P. Took 4ever... I'm ~LonelyTurret~ And I approve this message.

so yeah im the same pikmin rocks!!! why do you ask???

I thought you'd still, like, despise me...? I'm ~LonelyTurret~ And I approve this message.

Umm, just 2 let U guys know i heard it pikmin 3 is coming out in spring of 2009-Pikmin Fan

Says who? Speculators are us? I'm ~LonelyTurret~ And I approve this message.

I don't think that's true. Once Pikmin 3 has a chosen release date this website will most likely be one of the first places to know it. Not you. -PikminExpert

The website doesn't know anything, the people who contribute do.... I'm not saying Pikmin Fan is right or wrong, but a source would be nice. —Jimbo Jambo

It is way too early to be positive yet... production has barley started yet... I'm ~LonelyTurret~ And I approve this message.

What I mean is that shortly after a release date is made someone will post it on here. So this website will be one of the first places to have it. -PikminExpert

And I'm saying if they make Pikmin 3. -PikminExpert

Not if, when. It is offical that it is coming out but, there is NOT a date. I'm ~LonelyTurret~ And I approve this message.

And I'm saying someone has to put it there, it won't just magically appear as soon as it's announced. I don't know about you, but I know I'm not scouring the internet for updates, so I'm certainly not going to be the one to add it. —Jimbo Jambo

Maybe we will get a dojo? I'm ~LonelyTurret~ And I approve this message.

Like Smash Bros. Dojo? I used to check it daily before the game came out. Good times... Portal-Kombat

Yes PK... I'm ~LonelyTurret~ And I approve this message.

I don't look for updates either, but I bet someone who has an account on here does look for any recent updates about the release date. -PikminExpert

And I bet lots of people who don't have accounts here are also looking. —Jimbo Jambo

Yeah so I don't think anyone will need to look. Once a date is made that date will be put on here most likely by some random person who uses this website but doesn't have an account. -PikminExpert

I would love a Pikmin 3 Dojo but I just don't see it happening. Pikmin doesn't have the same following/hype as Smash Bros. Portal-Kombat

If only it could stay like that. It's probably just one of those dates that's only there for reference, I'm sure it'll be released much later than that. I think it will come out in 2010. Portal-Kombat

WHY DOES ALL THE COOL STUFF COME OUT IN 2010!! This sucks. Oh, Yeah, welcome back from the dead, GP.~~Rocky~~

There is no release date, calm down rocks... I'm ~LonelyTurret~ And I approve this message.

Everyone's so crazy about pikmin 3! When does it come out??? HUH HUH HUH????? I mean gosh... You people are gonna be so busy playing pikmin 3 to even write about it here!

Pikmin 3 @ E3 2009

http://www.kotaku.com.au/2009/06/miyamoto-sorry-he-has-no-new-pikmin-for-us-yet/ Miyamoto “Sorry” He Has No New Pikmin For Us Yet By Stephen Totilo on June 3, 2009 at 12:15 PM

Last year, Shigeru Miyamoto let slip that Nintendo was making a new Pikmin game. Today, he told me and Brian Crecente that the project is moving ahead, but not at the pace some fans may have hoped.

“I’m sorry,” Miaymoto said when we asked him why the new Pikmin wasn’t at this E3. “Unfortunately we haven’t been able to expand the team size very much, because we’ve been working on so many different games that we’ve shown off at the show. So the team is working very hard, but it’s a bit of a small team.”

I asked, laughing, if there were more than two people on the team.

“Of course,” he said, chuckling. “The basic work that they’ve been doing quite nicely.” I tried to confirm whether the team was working on a full new game. He thought for a bit and said: “Yeah, and my basic idea is that the sense of the depth of the game and the simplicity of the control will all be there.” HERR DUR DURR DERP DEE HUR DERP.

Yikes. you use harsh language. When Pikmin 3 comes out, expect HEAVY reediting!--File:Images.ijpg the master --MewFan128 04:38, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

seriosly hippos harsh. Rpwyb`

waitwut? Is swearing forbidden on Wikia even if it's just a statement of joy? I'm pretty certain there's no need to edit other people's comments. Even if they're insulting someone, it's best to just let it, for future references or grounds for banning, what have you. Just concentrate on articles.--Prezintenden

You could at least have tried not to break it. And, I guess if you're at a wiki about games for all ages, some people are going to want to censor such things. I don't mind either way, I guess.GP

WOOT

We should e-mail Nintendo, encouraging them to kepp working on Pikmin 3!

sphere walking?

wouldnt it be so cool if pikmin 3 had Shigeru Miyamoto sphere walking engine that would be so awesome, and you could jump between planets and such

??? First of all, it's a Pikmin game, NOT Super Mario Galaxy 2. Second, put all fan made ideas on the idea thread. Thid, sign with your sig. Fourth, I doubt Pikmin will be that kind of game, because you could jump, and 3then Pikmin would be a completly diffrent game.--File:IdlePikmin.jpgFile:Images.ijpgthe master--MewFan128 Mew! 15:54, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

Yes, then there wouldn't be Pikmin. Snakeboss14File:Hairybulborb.jpg 17:07, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

who ever thinks sphere walking would be good, your just crazy, it would be stupid! -benjabby

It might be good but only as an unlockable feature.... You could take pikmin and make it into Super Mario Galaxy... That would be interesting... [Indeed, Indeed. Your training has just begun, young apprentice.] Pikdude 23:56, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

How would that work, a 1-inch man walking around planets? They'd be like 5 in.2...

I'm ~LonelyTurret~ And I approve this message.

Make the planet as small as Olimar. (Relatively Speaking).Pikdude 16:43, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

And a planet of this size would sustain itself how? And Olimar can't even jump! How would he get from planet to planet? I'm ~LonelyTurret~ And I approve this message.

Sustain? What, planets need food now?GP

He's probably saying that the planet might collapse on itself due to its miniscule size and the force of gravity surrounding it.--FREAK ~Game Freak~OUT!

@Game: Yes. @Green: Bad Choice of Words? I'm ~LonelyTurret~ And I approve this message.

...So a rock in space collapses in on itself? Then what is it, a smaller rock? But by that logic, that would collapse in on itself too, right?

...Spontaneous black hole, anyone?GP

That'd be awesome but unlikely.--FREAK ~Game Freak~OUT!

Sure, why not. Still I'd like to point out Olimar's lack of ability to jump anywhere... I'm ~LonelyTurret~ And I approve this message.

Lack of ability to jump ANYWHERE? um... SSBB. ferailo9 16:50, December 3, 2009 (UTC)

This is a game, not real life, it's entirely possible, especially if the planet is made of hardened rock. Pikdude 19:12, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Of course it's real! I'm ~LonelyTurret~ And I approve this message.

AH HAH! since you presented no argument to my theories, they are technically correct-ish and I win! Now what were we talking about? Pikdude 21:30, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Even hardened rock would be pulverised into dust at the very least I'm ~LonelyTurret~ And I approve this message.

...A planet that small would be incapable of holding an atmosphere, so sustain wasn't all that wrong. Not to mention that the planets in SMG have a black hole right in the middle of them and lack an atmosphere.--Prezintenden

Prez has got a point. I hate those things. --FREAK ~Game Freak~OUT!

I concur with Prez. Ridly ^Roar! 11:59, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

CL: sustain itself. 'Sustain anything' would've made sense, yes.GP

I think we've gotten a little off topic. Pikdude 02:34, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

@Prez: Well, fine then, be picky about it, Olimar still can't jump... @Green: Fine Anything. I'm ~LonelyTurret~ And I approve this message.

Who says Olimar can't jump? I remember at the end of Pikmin 1 he does a little spin in the air after fixing his rocket... And as for the Pikmin, couldn't the whole group (+ Olimar) get into their spaceship/Onion and fly to the next planet? Problem solved!Pikmin Commander 20:20, September 10, 2010 (UTC)

[2] Actually, anon. has a point; it's definitely speculation, though this is maybe the one page speculation might be okay, and it's actually founded on something. Certainly considering the game's been announced now, how important and relevant is this past idea? The SSB series is about history, anyway; I'm thinking they base which characters to include largely on interestingness as well as popularity.GP

E3 2010

They didn't say ANYTHING about Pikmin! I just watched the whole thing! Not a word! And it made me even more angry that they kept emphasizing "We have brought everything Nintendo fans have been asking for!" But I bet that Shiggy is gonna say something afterward just like he did at the last 2 E3's...hopefully...The new Zelda looked cool, though! ShadowRaptor101 18:19, June 15, 2010 (UTC)

Another year or two, maybe? With regard to the other games, I was more interested in DKCR, the new Kirby game and Goldeneye.GP

Perhaps. I don't know about YEARS, but maybe it's just one of those great games that don't come out during the time of E3 and therefore are not paid attention to, like Mushroom Men! ShadowRaptor101 21:08, June 15, 2010 (UTC)

Nintendo is making a lot of great games for the Wii. The best thing to do would be just sitting it out. Vol (Talk)

Yes, finally Green, your one of the few people that are excited for the Kirby game. --FREAK ~Game Freak~OUT!

I'm sure a lot of people were hoping for that four-player game promised for the Gamecube that had supposedly been moved to the Wii. Kirby hasn't had a "real" console game since the N64. —Jimbo Jambo 05:39, June 20, 2010 (UTC)

Ugh, tell me about. Everyone is whining because they hate the yarn graphics. And some people haven't even seen gameplay and they already said it sucked. :/ I hope that that Wii game is not cancelled and is just being improved.--FREAK ~Game Freak~OUT!

Really? I thought the best thing about the trailer was the art style.GP

Same here, but because it's "not Kirby Wii" and the "graphics are ugly" they hate it. --FREAK ~Game Freak~OUT!

Epiphany / Deja Vu

I know Pikmin 3 isn't coming out for a while: some of you said 2 - 3 years, other keep saying later this year. I'm not sure if this means much, but I had an Eppifany about Pikmin 3. You might be saying I made this up, but we have no other leads of what Pikmin 3 will be like. Its like this:

Captains: Olimar, Louie, Mr. Pres., Robo Olimar (RO), and the weirdest yet, a purple pikmin that looks like Rambo, I dubbed it Commander Purple Pikmin (CPP).

Pikmin: All up pikmin so far.

Enemies: Red Bulborb

Locations: A place that looks like The Distant Spring except with for plants and 7 small stone towers

Battle: Olimar, Louie, Mr. Pres., vs RO (malfunctioned), CPP (evil).

[1] [2] [3]

.........[4]

[5] [6] [7]

Olimar was on 6 with reds. Louie on 5 throwing blues at CPP. Mr. Pres. on 4 throwing yellows at CPP. RO on 1 throwing whites at Olimar. CPP on 3 throwing purples at Olimar.

It may not be believable, but like I said before, its all the lead I got. And my Deja Vu's are usually 78% accurate, the other 22% is the things that people say.

Jpmrocks the random guy that likes to do the WEEGEE stare. 05:53, June 21, 2010 (UTC)

And you expect us to believe on your epiphany? Sorry, but some things are just stupid. Besides, let me tell you something: NO MOAR SPECUMALATION!!!!!! Snakeboss14

Hurry, guys. We need to burn this before Crys finds out! *tries to create fire with two sticks* LOL, anyway, take this to the Pikmin Fanon Wiki. --FREAK ~Game Freak~OUT!

Pikmin for the 3DS?

I was randomly searching through videos on youtube for videos that were recorded by people at the E3. I happened to stumbble upon this video of a guy messing with the new Nintendo 3DS and the screen was a bit blury, but there was no mistaking that the scene he was sampling with PIKMIN! It doesn't look 3D because you're looking at it through the youtube screen, but still it looked awesome! I think that a Pikmin game could actually work on this handheld!

To see the video, look here: http://youtube.com/watch?v=GYnyBxVhK_c&feature=related

(The Pikmin part is at 0:45) ShadowRaptor101 23:38, June 27, 2010 (UTC)

There were also images of Super Smash Bros. (Brawl?), New Super Mario Bros. Wii, and Zelda: Twilight Princess. I can't say I think this really means anything, but could it work? Definitely yes. I can imagine using the stylus to toss Pikmin or direct them to specific spots, and having titanic bosses pop off the screen in 3D. I hope whatever Pikmin they're making right now is popular enough to warrant yet another game.. —Jimbo Jambo 01:57, June 28, 2010 (UTC)

I agree, though I hope the controls are smooth if it ever became a DS game. However, this doesn't tell us anything about it coming to the 3DS as it was just part of a demo. --FREAK ~Game Freak~OUT!

I don't think a Pikmin game for the 3DS is in the making, at all. In that video, all that was shown was just some 3D scenes: A trophy, the NSMB "family", Samus, some Pikmin, etc. It was just to show off the 3D capabilities.

But if they do make a Pikmin for the 3DS, I guess it could work pretty well. {Espyo^T} 13:41, June 29, 2010 (UTC)

So now we're discussing how good will the controls be? Honestly, I don't think it'll be released, it's just a demo. If they released the NPC versions then probably the next game will be for Wii, but you're right, it could work. Snakeboss14

Yes, the next game is for the Wii; it's been confirmed several times. And what's the problem with discussing the controls for a possible Pikmin 3DS? :P {Espyo^T} 13:15, June 30, 2010 (UTC)

Did I say there was a problem? Snakeboss14

I, personally, want it for GameCube more... Maybe they'll make it GameCube controller compatible?

Pikdude 01:11, July 1, 2010 (UTC) I'm baaack!

It would be nice to have it GameCube controller compatible, but we'll just have to wait and see. Vol (Talk) 16:19, July 1, 2010 (UTC)

The past hints are the main body of the article. Moving them would create stubs, besides being unnecessary, as Pikmin 3 has not been announced. Snakeboss14

3DS preorder

http://www.zavvi.com/10308244.html

Since 3DS has no UK release date and that's before the US release date and Pikmin 3 was confirmed to be on Wii and Zavvi is no-one special, it's obviously not very concrete at all. Anyone know the law regarding offering preorders you can't fulfill? GP

I'm not sure, but look at the RRP. Vol (Talk)

If this was true somehow, which I doubt, it'll likely be a remake of Pikmin 1 or 2. --FREAK ~Game Freak~OUT!

I have a feeling its not true. A while ago, I think Amazon and lots of other websites put up Preorders for Pikmin 3. That was back in 2008. Loafy the Breadbug

I remember reading some were that Zavvi putting pikmin there was a mistake.[3]I even heard that Nintendo said it was not true.--Man-at-Legs888 00:37, 24 February 2011 (EST)

Around the time of the release of the first Pikmin game, it was hinted at that Pikmin might be a trilogy.citation needed

Is this an appropriate "hint"? There is no reference and/or I don't remember anything hinting that "Pikmin might be a trilogy" in Pikmin 1. The one and only,Peanut64.

It doesn't say in Pikmin one, but around the time of Pikmin 1. But I can see what you're getting at. For reference, the original text, added by Kperfekt722, reads: "In original the original Pikmin news articles, it was hinted at that Pikmin may be a trilogy". Vol (Talk)

Yeah, I remember not wanting to remove it because it might be true, but I couldn't find a source, so I just added the 'citation required' thing (at least, I think it was me). I assume no-one else knows of a source since it's been without one for however many years... GP

Rumour thing

http://gameolosophy.com/consoles/wii/rumour-pikmin-coming-to-project-cafe-nintendo-talking-with-rockstar/

Thoughts? GP

Doesn't seem too absurd. Miyamoto said the Wii would work well but not "YES FOR THE WII MY ETERNAL LOVE". I am right with believing that the Wii's minimalistic hardware has been one of its core shortcomings? I mean sure, it's cheaper and still looked okay, but in our current HD-hype... I wouldn't be surprised if Ninti used a series that hasn't done all too bad in terms of sales to try and boost this new console. On which I have yet to actally read about. I'll get to that now.--Prezintenden

On one hand, having Pikmin 3 on Cafe would be great. It could be a launch title that shows how powerful the console is - the Pikmin games thus far have all been beautiful graphically, and they're just on the GameCube. Imagine a console with a lot more power showing the beauty of the Pikmin world. On the other hand, that means I'll have to buy a new console to be able to play the next game in the series... But this rumor is likely true. They gave no news nor footage nor anything about the game. They probably have the engine ready, as well as the storyline and such. Porting it to Cafe should be easy, and it'll just give them a chance to stay quiet about the game for longer. I'm pretty sure they want to stay silent about Pikmin 3 for as long as possible, to troll, if you will. {Espyo^T} 09:50, 24 April 2011 (EDT)

This rumor confused me, since the latest hint was that it was for the 3DS (http://www.zeldainformer.com/2011/01/iwata-asks-how-3ds-was-made-pikmin-3ds.html). However, there's another rumor now that it's for both (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=27758388), and there will be some interface between them. The neogaf rumor is probably false though.

Personally I think we should ignore every rumour and all speculation until it is stated to be true by Nintendo. Loafy the Breadbug

Pikmin 3 confirmed for Wii U

http://wii.ign.com/articles/117/1173797p1.html YES! ParadoxJuice 22:51, 7 June 2011 (EDT)

How is that a good thing when it was already confirmed for Wii? I guess it explains the delay, but...

I forgot to mention, they also said it was nearing completion. ParadoxJuice 10:05, 8 June 2011 (EDT)

Meh, we can't use that link as a source because it requires Flash and is a pain to find the actual quote. And I guess we need a Wii U article... GP

Curse Nintendo's want to make Pikmin 3 REALLY good. I'd have been fine with just good. Ridly ^Skree! 15:08, 9 June 2011 (EDT)

I wouldn't. I'd rather wait a few more years and have an incredible game that'd be GOTY, every year. That's impossible, of course, but still, I'd very much rather wait a long time to get a very great game than just have them hurry up and then we'd have an abortion like Sonic '06 ended up... Besides, the longer they take, the more time I have to buy the new console! {Espyo^T} 19:27, 9 June 2011 (EDT)

http://wii.ign.com/articles/117/1173945p1.html Can we add this to the article? ParadoxJuice 19:12, 9 June 2011 (EDT)

...I found and added that two days ago. GP

Heh. 50% of the reason I bought my (now hardly functional) Wii was to play Pikmin 3. Looks like I may never play it. Suprised no one else seems even a little bit upset about this. 69.142.35.12 01:24, 22 June 2011 (EDT) (IAMAHIPO_ocolor)

Infobox

An infobox has been added by Eduardog, do we need an infobox this early? Loafy the Breadbug

I don't think we do. There's pretty much no information in it because we simply haven't got any, and 'likely 2012' is just silly. I'm going to remove it now; anyone who disagrees feel free to give your reasons. GP

Agreed. Although it didn't look that bad in general (it's still a game, the infobox was not out of place), the "likely 2012" part and such seemed a bit off. {Espyo^T} 19:27, 9 June 2011 (EDT)

Pikmin 3 logo?

http://pikmin.wikia.com/wiki/File:Pikmin_3_Logo.jpg not sure if anyone but Shadowraptor101 and I saw this. I'm pretty sure it's fake, since I haven't seen it anywhere before and the blue flowers are blurrier than the white ones, but I wanna know what you guys think. Flish 18:41, 15 June 2011 (EDT)

Fake. GP

Yeah, fake, besides, I doubt they leave the logo exactly the same as the one in Pikmin 2. Snakeboss14

Looks nice, but obvious fake is fake. --FREAK ~Game Freak~OUT!

So it has been confirmed.

Yay; Pikmin 3 will be shown at this year's E3! And E3 will take place June 5-7; less than two months away! Also, we'd better get ready when they show it at E3... --PikminFanatic23 21:01, 16 April 2012 (EDT)

Official Trailer

Nintendo has uploaded an official trailer for the game. It shows it much closer up than what was seen during the conference. Interesting to note, the music in the trailer is a remixed version of the Pikmin 2 Title Screen music. Should we add this trailer to the page? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxWIvaD2XQI --BeatOli 11:23, 6 June 2012 (EDT)

Of course. It's not the same trailer, though, so make sure to watch both to see everything (it has some extra bits and some bits missing). GP 13:03, 6 June 2012 (EDT)

Origins of Pikmin 3
