3 Player minigames?

[SuperZambezi]

Take a look at the minigames on the right of this magazine scan. Each of the minigames only feature three players. That includes the Rocket minigame as well as the Paint minigame that have both been previously seen with the standard four players. What do you think this could be?

I think this either means a player isn't shown at the time, or eliminated.

Still... that last one has gotten me puzzled...

I remember reading somewhere that computer players are optional, so that would explain things.

I remember that, too... but taking them completely out of minigames would suck...

Maybe that way almost every mini-game can be Duel?

Oh god, that would be very lazy of ND Cube...

I read in a german forum, that there are a few people, who have that magazine already.
They said, that you can play without computers, if you want. Te minigames will change, too. For example, the minigame, where the team of three are sitting in a penguinsleigh and try to hit the one player. This game would change into a 1 vs. 2 game. In this particular game, there are only two people in the sleighs, but there is less space than in the 1 vs. 3 - Version, to make it easier for the team and harder for the single.

That's actually pretty innovative to remove computers. However for 1v3s I can't see how they'd work as a 1v1 without completely disrupting balanching of the sides...

In the first picture on the right you see that there are rolling 3 boulders, so I suspect 3 against 1.
Second picture I suspect they cut of a bit of the screen.
Third picture, is a brainteaser. They could have cut off a bit of the screen, but it looks so weird. ;s

I think that would be nice if we do have the choice of playing without all the three computers (like if I want to play with one less, or playing with people without being with computer players). That let complete freedom of being with computers players even if there are less than 4 players.

Yeah, I heard you can remove CPUs. That'd be nice -- it WOULD make it like there are actually duel mini-games. I'd probably only use this feature for mini-game mode, tho.

Its often 3 players playing when I play games with others, so 3 player games would be cool!
