The next Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo Wii U and 3DS will feature the return of Olimar and the wee little Pikmin that fuel his attacks. Maybe this time, he'll actually open his eyes.

Not much is known about Olimar's return, other than the fact that he'll be toting a team of Pikmin with him. Though Pikmin 3 will star a trio of new heroes, it's nice to see that Nintendo will be welcoming back Olimar to the fray.

There's no word about how much his moveset has changed, if it's changed at all, but judging by the screens on his character page on the official Super Smash Bros. website, he looks largely the same. We particularly enjoy how he's swinging a Pikmin into Mega Man's chest.

Check out some of the screens of Olimar and the Pikmin in action down below. Let us know if you'll be controlling them when they return to the Smash Bros. stage next year.
