Pikmin 3 "Well Underway" Says Miyamoto [Wii]

[R.O.B.]

Nintendo designer and Donkey Kong creator Shigeru Miyamoto was in London today to pick up his BAFTA fellowship award, an honor he reciprocated by delivering his acceptance speech in pure English. What did Miyamoto have to say, specifically about Pikmin?

According to the tweet-reporting of the Official Nintendo Magazine UK, Mr. Miyamoto offered the briefest of Pikmin updates. He says the third game in the series, which originated on the GameCube, is "well under way." Sure, we've known for some time that Nintendo is making another Pikmin game, but that it's "well under way" (and not forgotten) is at least comforting.

Hopefully, Miyamoto and Nintendo will have something more substantial for us at this year's E3 show than just an apology. We'd love to be able to remove Pikmin 3 from this list.

This pic isn't official, is it? No, looks too much like Pikmin 2 (except the photorealistic background) But I like it.

Would be cool if Pikmin 3 would play on a different planet, like the real Earth.
But I would save it for the next console and Pikmin 4, where it would make more sense cause of better techs to have a realistically drawn Earth in HD graphics etc.

It's not official; just some cool fan art.

Yes, it is official. I have the larger version on my other computer: got it off the nintendo.com site and everything.

As far as I know, both Pikmins already take place on Earth. Not sure what you can possibly mean by "real Earth".

By "real Earth" I mean just like in the pic above, an authentic look of our planet, with an authentic cat. I like that blend of "Pikmin" and "reality" that picture shows. In Pikmin it's just an Earth-like planet... In fact the only stuff that is 100% Earth in the Pikmin games are the "treasures", eerr, I mean the dirt you need to collect.

On our Earth there are no such creatures:




Birds on Earth fly in the sky and do not live in the underground.



If we had animals like this, I had a terrarium full of it:



I know this looks much like PoisonRamon but it's definately of alien kind:

Think for one second. Think for just one singular second about what that game would be like. You would be brutally murdering cats, dogs, rodents, and birds with an army of swarming bug-plants and then take the mangled corpses of these animals to your ship to form more for your army. Take a single guess as to why they chose not to do what you're asking.
