    A Great Port of a Wii U Gem

    Pikmin 3 is a fantastic game, and was so when it initially released on the Wii U years ago. This Switch port add some nice enhancements and additions but is essentially the same game with sightly better graphics. If you missed it on the Wii U, it's a great pick up for the Switch; but if you already played it when it originally released like I did it doesn't add much to make replaying the game a vastly different experience. The new content is nice, in particular some of the epilogue missions and the new multiplayer modes; but on the whole it's not enough to really justify the $60 price tag if you played the game previously. For new players, it's a great pickup, even at $60. If you played it on the Wii U I would still recommend it, but maybe wait for it to go on sale at some point so the value equation makes more sense.

    Pretty fun game from the Wii U and not many people played it since not many people had a Wii U so. The game is worth it just to play around. Great series too.

    I owned the original on Wii U version, loved it then love it now. This version does add a few features not in the original game, I haven’t used all of them yet. But my favorite being is having 2 players simultaneously play the story mode. I felt that was missing in the original. Having it now was worth the wait of revisiting pikmin.

    For anyone who may have missed out on this gem when it came to Wii U, now is your second chance to experience this hidden gem. While not as popular as Mario or Zelda, Pikmin is a fun game and a unique experience. The game has been completely reworked to be playable with Joy Cons, as opposed to the Wii U touch screen.

    Pikmin 3 Deluxe is a much needed bridge towards the elusive Pikmin 4. While the original game was great on the Wii U, Pikmin 3 Deluxe offers a few extra features while delivering the same great quality of the same game. The game runs smoothly on Switch, no issues to report. If you’ve never played a Pikmin game before, you’ll be happy to know that you won’t be confused or missing out on any info if you haven’t played the other two. This game is a very fun puzzle/strategy based game. You run through some charming puzzles while grouping your small obsequiously subservient Pikmin creatures, using their elemental types to your advantage. It’s certainly an interesting game, and worth the money if you never played the first one.

    This version of Pikmin 3 is fantastic. There is new content if you owned the prior WiiU version, but unless you are a big fan and need to own it all or wish to play it again on the Switch it's not enough that I'd let it sway you. Otherwise it's a great game that looks great and is adapted to the Switch controls well.

    Great but short game

    This game is great no doubt about it but this game is short. If you want to just get to the final boss you can beat this game is 6-7 hours. But if you want to get all the collectibles that will take you about 12 hours. My only problem about this game is the endgame, there is none. Its just over nothing extra to do. You can go back to a previous day and try beat the game faster but thats not so fun. If you really want to get your money's worth out of this game you have to play the side stories, mission, and the harder game difficulty. Even if you were a new player to the series (like I was) its hard to run out of fruit (fruit is what keeps you alive).

    They did a fantastic job converting the controls from the Wii's motion controls over to a more semi-traditional controller setup. And I really enjoyed the new Olimar levels, with mission objectives that are all new to Pikmin 3.
