Arcade canceled
Pikmin 3DS is an arcade game with logic elements and the first game in the series to be released on Nintendo 3DS. The game uses completely new gameplay mechanics. We play as a small alien named Olimar, a character known from the previous installments of the series, who explores a brand new planet that he has never seen before. Colorful Pikmin creatures aid him in his task. He can use a whistle to summon them and give them simple orders. We beat the game levels in order to find treasures. We will encounter various enemies and obstacles on our way. Pikmin help us defeat our opponents and beat every obstacle. We use the stylus to throw them at our enemies or at lost objects. Pikmin come in various colors, each of them indicating their abilities, i.e. yellow Pikmin are immune to electricity and blue ones can dive under water. We control a limited number of them during our adventures, so we must give them orders wisely and quickly react to any changes that happen. Pikmin 3DS features colorful 2.5D visuals and the same visual style as the previous installments in the series.
