Miyamoto Says He Is Thinking About Adding DLC For Pikmin 3

Nintendo president Satoru Iwata and legendary games designer Shigeru Miyamoto sat down with Japanese publication, Itoi. Miyamoto accidentally let slip that the team are considering adding additional content to Pikmin 3, presumably in the form of DLC. He said that they are thinking about adding new missions and maps to the game little by little.

“So, using the internet [the team] thinks it’d like to add new missions and maps to the game little by little.”


Would you be willing to buy it?

I'm super excited for this game, but I have to admit that all these complaints about it being too short really disturb me. Don't get me wrong, I'm still buying it day one. But for a game that has been in development for years, started on the original Wii, then scheduled for WiiU's launch window only to launch nearly half a year later... Now I learn that the game is short?! How the hell is this possible?! What the eff were the development team doing during all these years?! Sit at their office only to pick their nose?! This is my maine problem with Nintendo right now, they are taking way to long to make their game. I absolutly see no reasons why this game would take more than 2years of development.

Anyway... back on topic. The fact that I'm hearing that everyone wished it last longer means they loved the game and DLC can only be good news. Aslong as these DLC is more than just a 20min mission, it would need to be massive mission packs that last atleast between 3and5 hours if not more. And these missions needs to be accompagnied by some story, I don't want a random bunch of missions that don't have any links between each other and that are there only for content ala Mario.

as long as it's a fair cost/value dlc like luigi U, i see no problem.

Sounds good. Since they've got the engine up and running, Pikmin seems like a decent choice for running DLC. Just new missions collecting stuff in new areas. I'd be down for that.

Would help with that length issue as well, which I've seen brought up in multiple reviews. It's a shame about that really, given the dev time (as Metrium says).

Oh, I guess this is a dupe. Mah bad. Locking:
