New Japanese Hey! Pikmin video a hint of what's to come... 3DS

Hey! Pikmin, where we’ll get to see Captain Olimar and his Pikmin buddies on a new adventure.

Captain Olimar was on his way back home after work one day, when he crashed into an unknown planet inhabited by Pikmin. In order to make it out, he’ll need to collect 30,000 Sparklium to make it out, and he’ll need help from the Pikmin to do so.

The sense of discovery from exploring a beautiful alien planet. The exhilaration of battling an imaginative array of strange creatures. The heartache of losing some of your devoted Pikmin to a hostile world. The satisfaction of leading an army of loyal Pikmin to victory. These are some of the feelings experienced when playing Pikmin 3, launching in stores and in the Nintendo eShop on Aug. 4, exclusively for the Wii U console. From the mind of Shigeru Miyamoto, the creator of iconic series like Super Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda and Donkey Kong, Pikmin is back … and the intergalactic adventure of a lifetime is about to begin.
