Nintendo has unveiled a new\u00a0Pikmin 4\u00a0<\/em>trailer, intended to give you an overview of the adorable-looking real-time strategy game. Appropriately named the “Overview Trailer”, the new trailer covers everything from story to the basics of using\u00a0Pikmin\u00a0<\/em>to explore the world and battle enemies.<\/p>\n

As the trailer commences, we’re introduced to Captain Olimar, the longstanding protagonist of the\u00a0Pikmin\u00a0<\/em>series. He’s crash-landed on a mysterious planet, and so the Rescue Corps are sent to save him, but as a previous trailer established, they’ve crash-landed as well. Thus, it falls to you, the newest member of the Rescue Corps (and a custom protagonist to boot), to save all of them.<\/p>\n

We’re then introduced to the core gameplay mechanics of the\u00a0Pikmin\u00a0<\/em>series. As with previous games, you can pluck Pikmin from the ground, get them to follow you, and get them to work on removing obstacles or building useful structures.<\/p>\n
