Pikmin 3 takes the enjoyable chaos of managing 100 tiny soldiers with different abilities and multiplies it by three. The player is tasked with rescuing the rest of a scavenging crew after a failed landing. As per usual with the Pikmin series, the player must forage for food and escape by nightfall in order to survive. Aside from the other crewmates and a surprise Hocotatian, new friends include the Rock Pikmin and Flying Pikmin, which can each be used to solve puzzles. Multitasking has never been easier with the minimap on the gamepad, allowing for seamless switching and auto-directing of the three party members. Overall, it’s Pikmin but with three characters and stunning water effects.

I don't know what I'm going to pretend to be excited about now that Pikmin 4 is actually real and coming out
