Super Mario Bros 3 is the best game ever.

Hrmmm...your mental facilities leave much to be desired.

Buhh, I could take Red Steel more seriously if the story didn't fail so much and if it wasn't so cheesy. It seems so...I dunno.

Yeah, but I also play games for the singleplayer and multiplayer aspect as well.

Lolwut.

Singleplayer and multiplayer..... make up the only ways to play a game....

I mean, the online is not the only reason for a system.

I'm just saying that I don't think it's grounds to sell it.

Get ready to grow a whole new family.

Nintendo and Sega would like to announce that Pikmin 3, the anticipated sequel to the hit series Pikmin, will be debuting on Wii. Nintendo is working in close collaboration with Sega, with Shigeru Miyamoto overseeing development and Sega's famed Sonic Team taking the lead in programming and character design. Sega is known for it's quality franchises on Nintendo systems, including Sonic®, Nights®, and Ghost Squad®.

Pikmin 3 places you back in the universe of Pikmin, where you can choose to follow the storyline of Olimar or Louie. An evil corporation has begun harvesting Pikmin, and transporting them off-planet to be exploited elsewhere. You must travel to various worlds and use the Pikmin present to free the enslaved Pikmin workers and destroy the evil corporation's compound. However, there is an unexpected twist... A doppelganger of Olimar, donning a black spacesuit, seems to be growing Pikmin of his own. Is he good or bad? Does he have some connection to the evil corporation?

Multiple types of new Pikmin are available, as well as Shadow Pikmin. Shadow Pikmin are Pikmin freed from their enslavers but still loyal to them - they need to be purified before Olimar can use them. Also new to the series are Piklings, which are structures that can be built out of new Brown Pikmin. These buildings move the Pikmin franchise closer to a Real-Time Strategy game than ever before.

Other new features include point-and-click Wii Remote functionality, online battling allowing you to take your Pikmin armies against friends wirelessly over the Nintendo Wifi Connection service using Nintendo's intuitive and easy-to-use Friend Code system, and online voice chat using a new peripheral, the Wii Mic. Another online feature available is the ability to create, upload, and download your own multiplayer maps.

Pikmin 3 sprouts up in stores April 7th, 2008. Get it while it's ripe!
