    Cute and quirky little puzzle-solving game. The various Pikmin colors are capable of doing tasks specific to their type. There is also a day and night cycle that add a timing element to quest completion. Overall, it's a unique game that provides a challenging and pleasurable experience for those who enjoy puzzle games.

    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.

    Another great Pikmin game. Was glad to see Pikmin 3 get a switch release since the original was released on the Wii U. The switch deluxe version includes additional difficulty options, split-screen two player co-op and also some extra side story missions.

    Phoning It In...Again

    Is the original a great game? Yes. I feel like Nintendo is phoning it in with these re-releases. I'm sorry so many people missed a great game on the Wii U but the Switch is not the same hardware. Very sad they didn't upgrade the resolution beyond 720p. It's very pixelated on large screen TVs. If Nintendo had done something similar to LoZOoT: Master Quest, then I would be impressed. Instead, they slide some numbers around and call it difficult mode. Nintendo fans deserve better than what's happening with 2020 releases. It's Pikmin 3 though so it still gets 4 out of 5.

    Great game that gets a second life on switch. Hard to explain in a sentence but this series is full of charm and has great gameplay. Try the demo on Switch if you are on the fence but this game deserves a bigger audience. Try it for yourself and hopefully you can will be hooked too!

    Pikmin 3 Deluxe, Impression

    Pikmin 3 Deluxe is a re-release of the game "Pikmin 3," which was originally released on the Wii U. Pikmin 3 Deluxe expands on the original game by offering more control over accessibility and co-operative play. Greater features include being able to skip tutorials (in-game known as Data Logs,) co-op play being able to be turned on/off for most game modes, including the story mode which was absent in the original. Pikmin 3 Deluxe is a must play if you haven't played it before, as this is far superior due to the Switch's versatility as a portable console and for the added features. If you have played the original, Deluxe may not be for you if co-op play does not seem as appealing to you.

    The Pikmin series is such a great one. I'm glad Nintendo gave P3 the Deluxue treatment and put it on Switch for more people to try out. If you're in the mood for a fun game with gorgeous visuals and creative characters, definitely give this one a try!

    The Pikmin games are among my favorite Nintendo games. I was looking forward to this being done for the Switch, and it does not disappoint. This has the similar features of the previous games, but done for the Switch. I am enjoying this very much.

    a fun game that at time ive caught myself sweating. i had thought because of it being a nintendo title aimed towards kids it would be a breeze but i was pleasantly surprised. More than once did it force me to use some out of the box thinking.

    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).

    It’s a great game that I would have never tried if not for the demo version on eshop. Just so much fun to collect Pikmen and solve puzzles. Arlo on YouTube loves this game. Now I know what he was talking about.

    I tried the DEMO and was hooked. I had to have it, purchased the game and was not disappointed. It's a strategy game disguised as the really cute story I'd say. Has good replay value as well.

    Great game to play after work. It’s fun and challenging, but still chill enough to help you relax and enjoy yourself without too much stress. If you like problem-solving/puzzle games, with a dash of RTS, you’ll like Pikmin 3.

    Typical Nintendo greatness. Graphics are really good, gameplay is challenging and music is pleasant. The game mechanics of Pikmin is unique and fun. At least time limits aren't as stressful as the first game.

    I love the Pikmin Franchise and this is a great addition to the series. With the enhanced controls, co-op mode, and new missions/story added makes thos an even greater edition than the original Wii U version.
