Pikmin is coming to the Nintendo 3DS

Pikmin is coming to the 3DS in a new side scrolling adventure!

It’s time to return to the world of pikmin for their first portable game. Using the power of pikmin and the 3DS touch screen you’ll be able to command pikmin and inform them where to go by tapping on the screen. In typical pikmin fashion you’ll command your pikmin to help you through the world and collect treasures that they will carry to the end of the level for you.

As before red pikmin are fire resistant, blue pikmin can breathe underwater, and yellow pikmin can survive electricity and be thrown higher. You’ll have to use these differences to your advantage as you create your strategy with how you move and battle enemies along your path to get to the end of the level.

Pikmin for the 3DS will be available in 2017.
