Shigeru Miyamoto, the leading video game developer working for Nintendo, is using the new social features of the Wii U to inform players of what they can do with a secret code that he buried inside Pikmin 3.

He states, “During their latest treasure-hunting adventure, Captain Olimar and his Hocotatian crew recorded a series of secret Expedition Logs, and entering the special code allows you to access them! The secret data files are hidden in various locations.”

Gamers who have all of the data files can use the Wii U Internet browser in order to access a special website that allows them to view more game content.

A limited number of gamers have all the secret files required at the moment.

Pikmin 3 is well received by the player community, but so far the game has failed to significantly increase sales of the Wii U.
