IGN: Why We Need Pikmin 3

IGN: Nintendo is often berated for always turning to the same franchises for profit. Link's busy covering the adventure ground, Mario's jumping to satisfy our platforming needs, and Samus is delivering our first-person shooter desires. Nintendo has a series for almost every genre, and Mario frequently fills in the gaps. Some have grown tired of the lack of original characters, but still can't help but be excited whenever the familiar faces appear.
