The most recent issue of EDGE Magazine has an interesting full-page ad on one of its pages. Yea, that's part of it above. What's so interesting about a bunch of grass? Well for one it's in a gaming magazine so we can assume it's not for lawn fertilizer. Secondly, on the bottom of the page it says next month with the next EDGE issue number on it and finally it has a purple blob in the top right corner that looks like a Pikmin. Maybe I should have led with that last bit of information?
Could this be a hint that next month's EDGE Magazine will feature info on Pikmin 3? It makes sense since next month also features a little convention called E3, and Nintendo has already promised some big announcments. A full blown Pikmin would work wonderfully on the Wii as New Play Control: Pikmin has already proved. Looks like Pikmin fans should start preparing for some fun.

THAT'S CAUSE IT AIN'T A STUPID FLOWER , IT'S MOTHERFUCKING DUKE !
May be the G/S/C remake everyone's fapping over.
Yes please!
One of the best RTS franchises on the home console.
I hope no one stepped on the pikmin. Poor little fella.

A Gold/Silver remake would be great, but I'm not sure how you got that out of this picture.
Oh shi-
I say it's a football game - of either variety.
Can they?
Pikmin Forever.
I think their next big title will be Cooking Papa, a spin-off of the Cooking Mama series, where Reggie allows players to enjoy seasoning and preparing the sausage and pork-chops that he can't seem to keep his hands, which are consequently sausage and pork-chops, away from. Not even close to Pikman, but equivalent to the shovelware they continually dump into the market.
It could be Pikman, I suppose.
An idea like this would have worked MUCH better as a teaser site, in which viewers expect to search for hidden clues. As a magazine ad, I think it falls flat a little.
Well, good luck to all those who like Pikmin out there. Haven't played the games myself, but I hope you all get a great game to enjoy.
If it was supposed to be a pikmin ad, why would they put the small blot of color so far away from the center? Ideally, you'd WANT people to notice.
It could just be a photo artefact, or as chronic logic said, a bit of purple paint, or it could have been an error made in a computer image altering program, or any other amount of things.

If these rumors hold water, then this year will be very satisfying for hardcore Nintendo fans. I hope they are, a new Pikmin game would be sweet.
if you squint, you can see the shape of chikorita on the grass at the top left area.
