Pikmin 3 release date revealed

The game has been delayed.

Pikmin 3 will be heading to the Wii U on August 4, Nintendo has confirmed. The game was originally said to be releasing sometime in 2013 and was expected to be released earlier than the date revealed today. So it’s a slight delay.

It will be available on both retail and as a download from the eShop. There’s also a new winged Pikmin that will be heading to the game which will follow players and can carry items.

“They will be helpful in different ways than the other Pikmin types,” Satoru Iwata revealed in today’s Nintendo Direct.

Pikmin 3 is a fully reimagined, mass-action strategy title from the critically acclaimed Pikmin series. Players will discover a beautiful world filled with strange creatures and take command of a swarm of ant-like Pikmin trying to survive.
