You know how olimar has kids? Well maybe that can be used to make this game four/five player.

Option 1: Olimar
Option 2: Louie
Option 3: President
Option 4: one of olimar's kids
Option 5: one of olimar's kids

Modes:

Battle?same ones as pikmin 2, only with four/five players.

Chase? the person with the wiiu tablet will be it/a pikmin while the other players try and kill the pikmin/get the player with options such as the bulborb, etc.

Co-op? challenge with 2 or 4 players.

Co-op story? The story of pikmin 3 but with 2 players only.

Using Olimar's kids as other captains has been proposed many times. Personally... I'm kind of neutral on it. Not loving the idea, but not exactly hating it, either.

Limit it to four. More is fine for FPS or other fighting sort of games, but in an RTS it gets too chaotic with more than four players.

Chase? the person with the wiiu tablet will be it/a pikmin while the other players try and kill the pikmin/get the player with options such as the bulborb, etc.

Interesting... not sure I've heard the idea before... I kind of like it.

Co-op? challenge with 2 or 4 players.

Sounds good.

I prefer the idea of the story in Co-op being separate from the main, single player story... like Portal 2.

Your ideas are underdeveloped and, other than "Chase", not particularly original. 3/5

Chase isn't original some other WiiU games going to have that with a Mii dressed as Mario and 4 dressed as toads (the guys with mushroom heads not the fly eating... lizard?)

I came up with most of those off the bat, I'll have to think if over some more.

They should just use Toads.
