The Return of an Army

Pikmin 3 is a fully reimagined, mass-action strategy title from the

critically acclaimed Pikmin series. Players will discover a beautiful

world filled with strange creatures and take command of a swarm of

ant-like Pikmin trying to survive. The world is densely packed with

treasures and enemies, which makes the game much more action

focused and fills it with layers of potential strategies and paths, adding

greater replayability to challenge modes.

FEATURES:

• Players can play using Wii Remote Plus and Nunchuk-based controls or the Wii

U GamePad controller. With new intuitive controls that make it possible to aim at

objects directly, players can command their tiny, yet powerful, squads in different

ways.

• The GamePad acts as an overhead map and radar to track Pikmin movements

in real time. Players can slide a finger across the touch screen to quickly switch

between areas, giving greater flexibility in commanding multiple groups of

Pikmin.

• The greater processing and HD capabilities of the Wii U console are put to

extensive use, resulting in a more intricately designed world, enhanced ant-like

movement of the Pikmin and precisely detailed overhead views for enabling

easier strategic use of the Pikmin.

• After completing a stage, the replay feature allows players the option to review

their results using the GamePad and TV. Fast-forward, rewind or pause while

assessing the previous mission to decide on other paths.

• In addition to the five original types of Pikmin encountered in previous games,

the new Rock Pikmin bring powerful new abilities and are able to crack hard

outer shells of enemies and break through solid barriers.

• Mission Mode challenges players to earn the most treasure in a given time.
