Awesome. I hope he's in the story still and not just a Multiplayer characte. Hopefully Louie will be back too.
"...players may take up to 100 days..."
Yes! No immediately time limits! Huzzah!

BMB why you so casual. :D
I loved Pikmin 1, and I prefer it over Pikmin 2. Pikmin 2 was just too laid-back, and I didn't really like the caves that much.

I'm not casual; I finished Pikmin 1 and Pikmin 2 both under 30 days (Pikmin 1 I have gotten it done by Day 21 before and Pikmin 2 I got to Day 29, and I've only played through it once).
I just like the fact that I'm not trying to have some sort of limit on what I'm allowed to look at with the scenery, explore the places willy-nilly and just take my time to figure puzzles out, and really enjoy the looks of the game and all the new features in it. I didn't like how Pikmin 1 was basically just get stuff done, barely have time to grow Pikmin and use whatever available Pikmin you have to destroy these mighty enemies that some take an entire day to just beat, and yeah, I'm sure that a lot of players couldn't even do Pikmin 1 because of the time limit. I know that the first two times when I was a 6-year old I couldn't figure out how to do some stuff. Then I finally got to all pieces but 1 on Day 30, and launched without that piece, figured out how to do that entire last area in one day (somehow; don't ask me how because now I can only do it in two day spans), and finally figured it out. And then I started to play through them again, beat my previous records and continue to see how fast I can complete the game.
But yeah, I really enjoyed Pikmin 2 a lot since it was nice to actually just see the areas, have the freedom to waste a day making your Pikmin army stronger and stuff, and not having to worry about collecting things. The only thing that annoyed me in Pikmin 2 is that I wasn't a big fan of the caves. I think they were an awesome addition, but some of those caves that were like 10 levels deep and stuff really annoyed me because it made me become really careful with my Pikmin, and I felt like every lost Pikmin could spell doom for me and stuff. I remember one cave I played in had open areas, and I'm trying to battle the friggin flying bug that drop bombs and next thing I know I lost 5 Pikmin because I threw them over the ledge! That friggin annoyed me about how some areas allowed you to have pikmin fall over the edge and stuff, and some caves I had to do twice just so that I could get certain treasures because I didn't have enough Pikmin of a certain color to get it, and the room layout was terrible at times.
What I'm really looking forward in Pikmin 3 though is that there seems to be a lot of potential to really make this game very interesting, allowing you to solve puzzles never before, like building bridges, using your yellow guys in a circuit, throwing your captains, having lilypads to take you over water, etc etc...it really makes the game feel like there is a lot in store for it, and I feel like the areas are going to be so huge!
I really do like how they have the orb onion thingies instead of the three onion stuff. Now you can just get all your Pikmin in the same area, instead of having to pull them out from each onion, though I'm not sure how they'll take the spoils if it'll just be the pill color or if it will be the majority of the pikmin holding it and then making new pikmin based off of that. Eh, I'm probably overthinking it.
One thing I really like is that swarm ability where you can just send all your Pikmin at an enemy all at once. It'll make some enemies like the burrowing snarget so much easier to face, as we saw in the trailer where the winged Pikmin just nailed it at the same time, though I did notice that now it drills upwards when it pops out of the ground...

I wouldn't mind short caves, and the abilities to take breaks and return to the last floor you left off at. I'm still amazed that I lasted in some of the caves.
I actually liked caves since you weren't timed in there (unless you count Submerged Castle to a certain extent...). Speaking of that dungeon, that place is just pure evil. Oh and it further demonstrates how broken Purples are when you get to the last floor lol
However, I would rather they focus more on the overworld. The overworld felt rather bland in Pikmin 2. I'd rather they have a good balance between the 2.
And can the Pikmin tripping PLEASE be removed as well as the Pikmin randomly lunging? It kind of annoys me when I want to divide my Pikmin in groups but a Pikmin trip/lunges and it still counts as me having 1. :p

Apparently Purple and White Pikmin don't appear in the story mode. This makes me sad because that means I can't kill everything in the game in under 10 seconds.

Yeah, it's basically states on the Japan website that White and Purple Pikmin will be in challenge mode and multi-player mode, but not story mode.

I doesn't bother me. Purple Pikmin are broken anyway.cryoAwakening said:
