As today, August 4th, marks the release of Pikmin 3 in North America, Nintendo has posted a video to their YouTube page detailing the basics of the game. The video is obviously aimed at the many people who are new to the Pikmin series as it goes in-depth into all the different facets of the game’s controls and basic mechanics.

So of you who already own the game, how many of you are playing the Pikmin series for the first time? Also can this game be enough to give the abysmal Wii U sales a nice jolt? Sound off on all things Pikmin in the comments!

Thanks, He-Man Forever
