or Wii U.[1]
Plot
From what has been seen so far at E3[2], the game revolves around 4 entirely-new characters exploring the depths of the Pikmin planet. Olimar and presumably Louie are notably missing as well.[3]
The absence of the two main characters from Pikmin 2 so far could be because only the challange mode was shown, which they are not a part of. In the knowledge that no footage of the story mode was shown could mean the two could be the protagonists again.
Gameplay
Pikmin 3 will play in a similar fashion to previous installments. However, the Pikmin themselves will be able to preform a multitude of different tasks. There are new hazards such as ice and magma-based enemies. Olimar is, for a reason Miyamoto wants to stay secret, not a playable character. Instead, a pink-haired girl, a bald general, a small blue haired boy and a tall, green-haired man are the playable characters. [4]
Pikmin will break walls differently based one where they attack walls, and the various other new tasks can be performed, such as picking up fruit and anything else used for nourishment.
The captains will be able to throw other captains and appear to be able to play with eachother in the main story mode.
The controls and battle mechanics will be much more detailed. For example. The players can use the Wii controls, and shake the wii remote to throw Pikmin, and shake the nunchuck to charge. Also, the Pikmin will be able to do more damage depend on where they hit a specific monster. The Wiimotion Plus is required for Wii controls.The players will be able to use the Wii U gamepad to scroll completely out of the map during play.
There will be many new game modes, including multiplayer, singleplayer, and a new type of Challenge Mode.

According to a woman at the E3 showfloor, there will be additional Pikmin that will be discussed about at a later date. [5]
