I only just found out about the revelations for the new Winged Pikmin in Pikmin 3, announced in last night's Nintendo Direct.

I LOVE THEM! Aside from being cute, they are also versatile, and they make my author-like imagination go wild! I sincerely hope they make small plushes of these like they did with the first 5 Pikmin species.

For those who missed it, this is what winged Pikmin can do:

• They can fly, meaning they are not inhibited by land hazards such as water.
  
• When working with other winged Pikmin and no other species, they can carry objects through the air, going over obstacles instead of around them. Whether they can carry them up cliffs is unknown, but likely.
  
• It appears they are strong against flying foes, such as the horribly-annoying Swooping Snitchbug.
