How do you figure that? The Whip-Tongue Bulborb alone gave a lot of people trouble, though they probably weren't the greatest at the game. Overall I think enemies will be harder than in Pikmin 2 simply because you can't herp derp spam purples hehe.

Also, Olimar is in SSB4, so I doubt any other characters will be. Maybe an optinal skin, though (like Daisy). theres actually a theory to my reason, and i also notice other people thought the same as me on Miiverse. Its the fact that in all of the pics with olimar and/or pikmin, there isn't a single rock or wing pikmin. This means 1 out of 2 things. Sakarai doesn't want us to see how they look yet(weird) or Olimar is exclusive to white and purple pikmin while another character (Alph) has rock and wing pikmin exclusive. Makes sense to represent each captain theme. Also they could be like mario and luigi? Similar fighting styles but different attacks/methods! Just saying my prediction has some strong points behind it, unless sakarai doesn't include rock/wing pikmin which imo would be a terrible decision since pikmin 3 is coming/ already came out!

Hmm...I dunno. There's quite a bit supporting that theory, aside from the fact that Pikmin simply isn't a big enough franchise to support that. 

Who knows though. I still think an alternate skin would be more likely.

Looking at several gameplay videos, it looks really easy to kill Bulborbs and Bulbears without losses. Also, Bulbears no longer come back to life.

Bulborbs sure because they're sleeping so you can just sneak up on them, but Bulbears? Sure they may not revive themselves anymore (which never made sense anyway lol), but you generally want to bring back dead bodies anyway, so it was a mute ability. What made Bulbears tough was that they were always awake and prowling around with a group of Dwarf Bulbears. From what I remember seeing in a previous nintendo direct, these traits remain the same.

So who else going to the Pikmin 3 event tomorrow!? ^_^

I hope I can take time off from work and Animal Crossing to play this game.

Aside from Famitsu (37/40, highest ever for a Pikmin game), not that I can see. 

 

It launches here in less than a week. I expect we will see reviews on Wednesday then.

Actually, forget that. The Guardian of all places has a review.
