"I think you'll be able find new enjoyment by capturing climactic moments where you can see scenery and features at the same eye level as Pikmin and share them with others," Iwata said.
On a side note, Nintendo presented a few examples of this feature, giving players another look at the impressive HD graphics of Pikmin 3. The close-up shots look gorgeous.
