Pikmin 3's New Characters Revealed

Nintendo spent part of its latest Direct revealing all-new info about the highly-anticipated Pikmin 3, which included unveiling the three new characters we'll be controlling: Alph, Brittany and Charlie.

All three will be controlled simultaneously, with the GamePad being used to both move around and micromanage all of your activities on the same map. Having said that, Nintendo announced that the Pikmin 3 can be played with the GamePad and TV, the Wii Remote and TV or just on the Game Pad with or without the Wii Remote.

Alph, Brittany and Charlie, the last of which is apparently the captain, crash land on a strange planet and encounter Pikmin. As a result of this, they decide to gather fruit and seeds to take back to their homeworld of Koppai to try save it from disaster.

Nintendo also promised that more information on the game's Challenge and Multiplayer modes would be coming eventually.

Pikmin 3 will be available exclusively on Wii U from July 26 in Europe and August 4 in North America.
