In the Pikmin 3 game, players take command of three explorers and a
legion of adorable Pikmin in a fight for survival. By employing the
unique abilities of these tiny Pikmin creatures, players will solve
puzzles, battle dangerous predators and recover food needed to save the
explorers’ depleted home planet.

FEATURES:

Discover the charming personalities of the plant-like Pikmin creatures
as they come to life in multiple shapes and sizes. Five different
Pikmin types, including new Rock Pikmin and Winged Pikmin, each offer
unique abilities. Rock Pikmin are sturdy creatures who can be tossed
at solid objects to break them down. Winged Pikmin have the ability to
fly and can carry objects in the air.

Divide and conquer! Split your Pikmin squads among the three explorers
to maximize your strategy.

Use the Wii U GamePad controller as an in-game camera to capture the
alien-safari environment from a pint-sized perspective. Snap and
caption photos, then share them via Miiverse.

Show off your skills in a variety of modes or challenge a friend in
the wild and frenetic multiplayer battle mode. (Additional accessories
are required for multiplayer mode and are sold separately.)

The intuitive controls of the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers make
it easy to lead your explorers and pinpoint the location where you
want to throw Pikmin.

The game can also be played off the television using only the Wii U
GamePad.
