Rock Pikmin! Or maybe Black Pikmin? I dunno, the people at E3 called them rock pikmin. They break things easily.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

For example things made of crystal and enemy armor!

Yeah we're gonna have to actually aim at enemy bodyparts this time around. Apparently theres gonna be stuff like doing extra damage by attacking a bulborbs eyes for extra damage.

And Olimar is mysteriously missing for reasons that are said to be secret! *Gasp*

So wonderful and pretty...

You kinda needed to aim before, though. Rushing at the front of a bulborb was rather pointless compared to attacknig from above-behind.

[Furtuka]

Well yeah, but I mean like at individual body parts and weak points. Something to do with the Motion Plus or something like that. Also Magma and Ice enemys which probably mean associated hazards and pikmin too

Edit:
Here, have a trailer!   


Oh dear god Anteater Bulborbs  *Shudders*

And Pink Pikmin! They can fly! You can see them at the part where the title pops up.

PIKMIN 3

Also... does the Wii U have a wiimote and the screen controller? That's a lot of controllers.

[GlyphGryph]

They had weak points before. In fact, finding and exploiting them was a big part of defeating some enemies, wasn't it?

I could just be imagining it I suppose.

[Aklyon]

Yes it was. But now we have...precise aim, I guess? Not sure what extra aiming we'd have to do really. Still though, PIKMIN 3!~

Er... *shrugs* I was sorta just parroting what the presenters said. Don't quite know how the wii motion plus aiming stuff they were talking about works. Maybe I misheard them. :/

 *Digs around in pikmin wiki*

Ah! Apparently what they were saying was that different sections of the creatures will recieve extra damage when attacked or something like that. If thats not the new part, then I have no idea what they were talking about

PIKMIN 3

Also... does the Wii U have a wiimote and the screen controller? That's a lot of controllers.

Yeah, apparently it can has 2 of the Wii U controllers and the other spaces are Wii motes. And then there's that Wii U Pro Controller thingy, but I don't know how that's gonna interact with the games probably just sits there most of the time except for games built to allow for it like the classic controller did.

Spoiler: Also another cool Wii U Thing (click to show/hide)

You can make custom words!


And it has a story mode of sorts!

Pikmin 3? A newer, better Scribblenauts? DAMMIT Nintendo, stop making me want to spend money D:

The transit of Venus. Specifically the quality of footage being livestreamed. This is an event that used to involved massive international expeditions to get a few images of. Now NASA have livestreams from high end observatories and the SDO have even put together a video of Venus's approach to the sun, something that would have been utterly impossible even in 2004. I can't find a link to the video but here is a previous still.

[Phantom of The Library]

So much happy vidya-game news... 


_{If I the release date of KH3 comes out today I'm going to have a heart attack}

[alway]

Cooked up a full pizza for my dinner. Imma need a bigger plate.

[USEC_OFFICER]

Watched the Avengers; Ate wieners and beans; and I'm going to go play Psychonauts now. My day would have to make a special effort to be any better.

This! I love science!

My "plum" "port" has begun. It's actually mostly made of a couple different plum-apricot hybrids, and sweetened with brown sugar and honey instead of white sugar. When I kill the fermentation midway through, I'll be using rum instead of aguardente (the usual spirit used in port). Hence all the quotation marks.

That sounds delicious.
