In Pikmin 3 for Wii U, you command an army of ant-like creatures that protect you and work on your behalf. Meet two new types of Pikmin and explore a rich yet dangerous planet with diverse environments. Use the Wii U GamePad’s built-in screen for an overview of the action in this unique blend of action and strategy.
Use the Wii Remote Plus together with the Nunchuk, the Wii U Pro Controller, or the Wii U GamePad and aim your Pikmin with total precision: throw them at enemies to target their weak points or toss them over obstacles. Whatever control method you choose, you can quickly survey the action on the GamePad and jump to another area by using the touchscreen.
Crack the hard shells of enemies and break through barriers with the new Rock Pikmin, and use the new Winged Pikmin in combination with the individual traits of the other Pikmin to press onward. Decide how best to divide and deploy your Pikmin for the most suitable tasks, and try to make the most of each in-game day.
The greater power and high-definition graphics of the Wii U system draw you into Pikmin’s unique world more than ever, with razor-sharp details and subtle animation that enrich the experience. You can also play the entire adventure on the GamePad, independent of the TV.
Sink your teeth into an expansive single-player adventure and tackle challenges in Mission mode, where you must collect as much treasure as possible within a time limit. At the end of each level you can use the replay feature to review how you did and devise new strategies, making it very tempting to replay sections.
