Miyamoto shows Pikmin 3

Nintendo legend takes to the E3 stage.

Shigeru Miyamoto took to the stage during Nintendo's E3 press conference today.

The focus of his attention was on Pikmin 3, a new strategy title set to be released on the Wii U. He showed off some of the improvements that have been made to the series in front of an enchanted crowd.

Features will include:

"Players can play using Wii Remote Plus and Nunchuk-based controls or the Wii U GamePad controller.

The GamePad acts as an overhead map and radar to track Pikmin movements in real time. Players can slide a finger across the touch screen to quickly switch between areas.

An intricately designed world, enhanced ant-like movement of the Pikmin and precisely detailed overhead views.

Mission Mode challenges players to earn the most treasure in a given time."
