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.

A worthwhile port of a great puzzle game

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).

A great transition from Wii U to the Switch

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.

I’ve only played the demo of the original on Wii U, but I already think the Switch version beats the Wii U version. I find the controls are better on here than on Wii U. Not to mention there’s extra content.

Great game that's a little on the puzzle side rather than fighting. The game is easy to pickup and don't really need to have played the others before to get what's going on.

This game was wonderful and beautiful and perfect in nearly every way. EXCEPT - that it was a $60 game that I 100% completed in about 18 hours of gameplay. I wish this game and The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening had been priced at $39.99 at launch, since you're truly NOT getting the same amount of gameplay, as lots of other Nintendo games with the same price tag.

Great adventure/strategy game by Nintendo. One of those “unique” experiences that becomes addicting once you learn the controls and are exposed to the puzzles and world.

Simple, elegant, clearly Pikmin 3, as depicted on the box. Not sure where the team lost their way between this and Pikmin 4/6. 5 stars.

I bought the pikmin 3 on Wii U before. I bought it again because I like to play it again on NIntendo Switch. This game has a very good story and very fun to play.

Still A Masterful Game For The Switch

I owned this game back during the time of the Wii U, and the Switch version still holds up today with some of its new quality of life improvements. A masterful game that was likely one of the best looking games for the Wii U. Only unfortunate parts of this game are obviously no official compatibility with the Wii remotes and Wii U gamepad. At least the official Nintendo Switch pro controller and Joycons are a good alternative. Overall, a masterpiece for both old and newcomers of the series, as well as a great opportunity for people who never played the original game when originally released.

Fun, easy little game that you can pick up and put down. Controls are easy. Fun references to the first two games but they are not necessary to play this one.
