1/9 Character, Music: Pikmin & Olimar + Pikmin: World Map Music*

[dcmjlive]

Goodness! Captain Olimar joins the fray with five colors of Pikmin in tow! He plucks Pikmin from the ground and they fight as his allies.

Without Pikmin, Olimar can’t even do a Smash Attack. And the short-lived Pikmin tend to scatter. Theirs is a fated symbiotic relationship.

Choosing Pikmin music is a rather difficult thing to do. In trying to find a song that would be remembered by those who played the game...

I thought about areas that everyone would visit when starting and ending play, and thus chose this song.

Its arrangement came together in a smooth and lovely way. It conveys the remarkable Pikmin world. It’s nice.

OMG...mail-toad's right!!! WTF!!! I LOVE THE UPDATE!!!

[BewareOfUmbrella]

We're partying in the chatroom.

[Fallen401]

No.....flippin....way!!!! OMFG they put him in?!?!?! AHHHH that's pretty damn cool i have to admit.     

[Mastpyro]

WOW NEVER SAW THIS COMMING!!!

[Simpsfan]

I never would have thought that Sakurai would be announcing a new character, yet here we have Capt Olimar!!!!

 

[Fallen401]

Bwahaha i think mail-toad just might pass out when he sees this update. There were plenty of ideas i had of possible announcments but then Sakurai hits us with not only a challenger but a newcomer as well, and then on that note it was Olimar!!! Ahhhh!!!! 

[Shades]

Wow! The Character drought has ended!!! And I never saw this one coming! 

[ajax098]

hallelujah! olimar! i was originally sceptical of his chances but im so happy hes in.

not only is he cool, and a good, recent(ish) character, hes also unique! and along with ZSS and pokemon trainer, hes bringing a new fighting mechanic to the game the way sheik and ice climbers did! looks like he not only uses pikmin but really NEEDS them to attack. thats so down-right cool.

[BewareOfUmbrella]

Any guesses on what his FS is gonna be?
God... I feel like I'm gonna wake up at any second and find this update was a dream... discussing FSes and play details makes it seem more real.

[9steele9]

Anybody could be in this game. I thought he would be an AT maybe. I guess i was proven wrong. Now that hes in, anyone is believable.

[Ultima_Samus]

meh it's cool but he is unique but will that be the last update for characters until we find out if there are more when we get the game?

Oh it's very real my freind, very real indeed. I still want to have a funny optimism and say that Olimar will call upon a heard of pikmin to rain from the sky and try to carry opponents off of the edges of the stage. That would be just too funny!

[dcmjlive]

I just can't believe it! A drop of rain has come after the long drought! I hope it were Sheik but Olimar is great too!

lol youre right he was unexpected.. but i gues if you keep making awesum characters into ATs there wont be any gud 1s left to be playable. olimar is definitely a more deserving character than any 3rd praty character.

meh it's cool but he is unique but will that be the last update for characters until we find out if there are more when we get the game?

its true it could easily be the last character update before release but dont forget.. japan release is in 15 days. then if you want to know everyone just go on youtube.

@fallen & BoU: haha yes! FS is lyk the spaceship lands center stage and a huge flock of pikmin spill out, picking up anyone they can, and carrying them back to the space ship, then they get fireworked off the top of the screen if theyre on high enough damage haha, thoughts?
