While not 100% official, according to the back of the Japanese box-art for Pikmin 3 that has recently surfaced, in addition to multiple controller support and 5.1 surround sound, the game will also apparently have an online ranking system where you\’ll be able to see how you\’re doing in comparison to other players. While the game is able to output in 1080p, the text next to where it states this tells us it will render in 720p. To those interested, it’s also worth noting that development of Pikmin 3 started on the Wii. As expected, the game will also have Miiverse functionality though White and Purple Pikmin will be solely relegated to multiplayer mode.

The rundown:

Outputs in 1080p – Renders in 720p

Nintendo Network: Online Rankings, Miiverse functionality

Controller compatibility: GamePad, Wiimote+Nunchuck, Pro Controller

Sound: 5.1

White & Purple Pikmin relegated to multiplayer mode only
