The development team at Nintendo is offering more information on the upcoming Pikmin 3, which is set to use three main characters, Alph, Brittany and Charlie, that players will get to know as they experience the game.

The company also says that the game will be launched on the European market on July 26, which is quite a bit earlier than the August 4 date already announced for North America.

Nintendo announces that the GamePad controller will be used in Pikmin 3 to track locations that players have already visited and get more information.

The new title in the strategy series will allow gamers to use more than 100 different creatures to explore a unique game world and uncover its many secrets.

The game is produced under the leadership of Shigeru Miyamoto.
