The Long-Awaited Sequel Touches Down with New Pikmin Types, Gorgeous HD Graphics and a Variety of Single- and Multiplayer Modes

REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– 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.

Pikmin 3 tells the story of three space explorers – Alph, Brittany and Charlie – who crash land on an alien planet and must collect fruit for their starving home planet. To accomplish their goal of collecting fruit, the explorers must gather and lead an army of different Pikmin creatures, battle the local wildlife and work to solve puzzles, all before the sun goes down at the end of each day.

Project Ravensdale, an “outrageous run&gun platformer” from Black Forest Games, may come to Wii U. The studio recently told us that “there is actually a good chance” of the game being brought over to the console.

Black Forest launched its Kickstarter for Project Ravensdale earlier this month. Currently, $43,000 of the $500,000 goal has been raised with 16 days remaining.

It’s not clear how a potential Wii U version would be affected if the title isn’t funded by August 16.

Project Ravensdale wouldn’t be Black Forest Games’ first Wii U title. The company is on the verge of releasing Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams for the eShop.
