I heard this from gaming-age about Pikmin: Look at the first and last Pikmin 2 shot. There's Olimar and Loozy on the same screen. This means either that Loozy as an AI-controlled character which gets directions from Olimar or an online/LAN game. I can dream...

The split-screen image of looks like vomit...literally. None of those screeshots compare to some of the striking vistas of Pikmin 1. Granted, it's using an old engine, and it's an early build, but those screenshots look terrible, even when compared to Pikmin 1.

I also noticed a few interesting things in those shots. In the first one, the Pikmin are carrying what seems to be a liquid. Could this liquid be used to put out fires or clean up the vomit? In the last shot, there is a new icon on the screen: a four-direction shape. Perhaps the player can map four actions onto the d-pad? Finally, Olimar and Loozy seem to be wearing new backpacks. I doubt these are for decorative purposes.

When I looked at the screens thought I noticed an imporvement in graphics if anything
