yeh, didn't really get the swarm function yet. I'll check it out tonight... I agree that the gamepad functionality is ace though. It's much more of a game changer then you'e think at first glance. I played the game standing up (as i do with most console gaming) and was balancing the gamepad on one arm Nyaa

What the heck? You need to see someone about that? Nyaa

Well, played some more Pikmin3.  I'm not too big a fan of the swarm function.  The idea is usefull, but you have to 'lock on' to enemies or structures, which feels at odds with the setup of the rest of the interface.  Locking on is just not a very Pikminish thing to do in my opinion.

I'm not really being efficient at this point though, having lost nearly 100 pikmin in 12 or so days.  Splitting up my troops and multitasking isn't something I do a lot, I always fear the pikmin will take some route I didn't expect and will run into trouble (and die in all sorts of horrible manners).  I'm okay with sending one commander towards the ship to pick up stray pikmin and such, but that's about it.

I took some photo's of the frog/bat thing we saw in pictures prior to release, but since my WiiU has problems staying connected to the internet, I couldn't upload them to Miiverse and don't know how or where I can view or manage them now.

The graphics are very impressive, I'm especially liking how convincingly everything gets wet when it rains.  It's a shame that so much of the visual pollish only shines from up-close though. You're always too busy to take your time to zoom in on things.

Wait so now Zelda has a hard mode?? Nintendo it might have been a good idea to tell us. This company is so stupid at times. If this mode is well done I may pick it up.

hard mode? How? Isn't the difficulty on those games mainly because of the puzzles? Or are they going to increase dmg taken/decrease dmg dealt in combat?

Master Quest wasn't that hard when I played it on the GCN; The Water Temple was actually easier in the Master Quest version IMO. Though I still never beat Ganondorf's castle on Master Quest version yet.

After Ocarina of time Nintendo did a Master Quest version where the dungeons were remixed, much harder and completed in different ways, I think everything was mirrored too i.e opposite in terms of layout and generally the damage you dish out is less, the damage you take is greater.

I bet you'll have to finish the game on normal difficulty first, then it'll unlock the hard mode.
