    Pikmin 3 Deluxe is fantastic! I haven't played Pikmin since it was on the Game Cube system many moons ago. I'll warn you, this game is addicting and the puzzles are challenging! I honestly couldn't put it down and found that any free time I had was devoted to harvesting more and more Pikmin. Nintendo did a fantastic job bring life back into this game and you won't be disappointed! I love that they sing a little song when they are all bunched up together wandering around the map.

    A classic RTS style game from Nintendo, with graphics that hold up on the Switch. Story mode is appropriately sized (10-15 hours) and doesn't prolong its stay, but the additional side quest and missions allow for those that want to continue the fun. As common with Nintendo titles, Pikmin 3 comes with split-screen mode that works good enough, providing fun for families or friends. People that skipped over the original Wii U release would be pleased for this version.

    Best Pikmin game

    This was my third favorite Wii U game. I have over 200 hours in the Wii U version. The Switch version adds a lot of content including Side Stories, co-op Story Mode, two hard modes, an achievement system, optional hints, and the Pikloopedia. I personally feel like most of the fun of this game is found in Bingo Battle first and Mission Mode second. Bingo Battle is just amazing, and Mission Mode is very challenging. Casual players and newcomers should check out Story Mode to learn the controls.

    Excellent series from the brilliant mind of Shigeru Miyamoto. This was one of my favorite games on the Wii U and I'm glad to see a Switch port! -A brand new prologue/epilogue has been added -The campaign is fully co-op now -A few gameplay tweaks and other small additions DO NOT sleep on Mission Mode. It's a great way to learn the nuances of the gameplay systems. Going for platinum on every mission is a worthy challenge.

    I’m so happy Pikmin finally came to the Nintendo Switch, it has all that you get from the original game with added features which take advantage of the motion of the controllers and play with a friend or alone and on the go. The graphics are not gonna blow you away but it does display a colorful cartoon feel in both handheld and on your TV. Fun for all ages.

    This game is a lot of fun but rather short. For those unfamiliar with the Pikmin series, imagine a game like StarCraft or Warcraft but instead of commanding a bunch of units, you are working with 5 different units each with it's own abilities. The game is more puzzle based than other real time strategy games. That's what makes Pikmin 3 unique. The single player options are fun are rewarding. The game shines really well for local co-op. Bingo battle is probably my favorite mode. The main campaign also features multiplayer. It would have been nice to against a difficult opponent in bing battle. The game hasn't been updated since it released, so I doubt new content might be added.

    This game is excellent and so much fun to play, Epically with this game local multi player, me and my brother had a blast we only wish it was a tad bit longer. but the mission modes are also a lot of fun to tackle. If you can find this game on sale I recommend it 110%% even at full price its worth it just be aware its a tad short.

    Pikmin 3, but more popular

    Pikmin has been around for almost 2 decades, but it feels like it's still a relatively unknown series. Now, with it's third entry giving a second chance on the Nintendo Switch, maybe now people will give it life. If you're a fan of strategy games, Pikmin low-key combines these strategy elements, with the horrors of being a small guy in the wild. 10/10 would play 3 more times.

    This is one of Nintendo's best franchises and this version is a perfect port of the WiiU version (which I have consistently played since 2013). The functional updates and additional assignments for Olimar make it a totally worthwhile purchase for previous owners and newcomers alike. Pikmin 3 has the best multiplayer battle mode and missions. It never gets old.

    Why is he didn’t think another is a big fan of the original Pikmin 3. Its actually the game that got her interested in Nintendo platforms again, since she was a child. No we get a kick out of playing it on this together. It’s a great game, great franchise, and here’s to hoping that Nintendo release is pregnant for sooner than later.
