Shigeru Miyamoto tackled a trio of Pikmin topics in a new interview with Eurogamer. The first? Losing Pikmin when night falls:

“I would love to [save them], but it’s not possible with my skill. So I have given up. But there are some staff who actually accomplished [this]. Personally, I like challenging myself to beat my own score in the mission mode.”

Miyamoto has also once again commented on downloadable content for Pikmin 3. He moved away from recent comments in which he gave strong hints regarding new DLC, but did say that strong player feedback can lead to production of new elements such as additional missions:

“Nothing has been decided yet, but Pikmin 3 puts importance on the player replaying and re-challenging himself, an element that makes the game more and more fun as users play it many times. If we hear players’ desire to play more with add-on content, we would love to consider the possibilities.”

Last but not least, Miyamoto said the following about his involvement with Pikmin 3’s development:

“In this series, I am especially involved in deciding on the basic concept. Another role would be designing the characters, particularly making them appealing and their overall appearance.”

Aksys is releasing Hakuoki: Memories of the Shinsengumi in North America. Over in Europe, Rising Star Games will be handling publishing duties, the company announced today.

IDEA FACTORY games are known for their complexity and difficulty, and this combination of its unique take on game development and Rising Star Games’ mantra of bringing top quality Japanese gaming to western markets maintains the brand faithfulness of both companies. The first title to be released in this deal is Hakuoki: Memories of the Shinsengumi, a romantic visual novel for the Nintendo 3DS. By enjoying the story and following a clever twist of consequences, players will be able to help guide Chizuru, the heroine of the tale, down a path of romance or into a murky world of corruption.

Hakuoki: Memories of the Shinsengumi is one of two Idea Factory games coming to PAL territories. Rising Star plans to announce the second one “in the near future”.

At the moment, Hakuoki: Memories of the Shinsengumi does not have a European release date. You can view some screenshots in the gallery above.
