Parent Game: Pikmin 3
Pikmin 3 Deluxe

Know somebody who might be like this game?

Summary

Prepare yourselves, brave explorers! Set-off for the lush planet PNF-404 when Pikmin 3 Deluxe lands on October 30! This new version for Nintendo Switch features multiple difficulty modes, new side-story missions featuring Olimar and Louie, and all the DLC from the original release.

Storyline

Return to your ship before time runs out, or you (and your Pikmin) could be in big trouble. If you prefer a more casual approach, a variety of difficulty settings, lock-on targeting and optional hints have been newly added. With less pressure, you have more time to strategically command your Pikmin and take in the lush scenery.

Every time one of the Pikmin died, due to my incompetence, gave me a light pinch in my heart. On that matter I fully sympathise with Captain Charlie.Apart its cuteness, the biggest quality of this game is its handling. Its controls are learned very quickly.Its biggest flaw though is the shortness of its story modes, the reason why I don't give it a higher score.Pikmin could be a monument from Nintendo if only the story modes were considerably longer.

Pikmin 2 in my opinion is still to date one of the best games ever made. That was the only reason I justified paying $60 dollars for a port of an already old game from the Wii U to the Switch. This isn’t a quarter of the size of the second one. It feels like a demo of the second Pikmin. Thought I was at most through half the game when “the end” popped up. The controls are noticeably worse than the gamecube ones and in hand held mode you can’t walk unless you use the “go here” tool. Don’t know what happened on the development that lead to this and neither do I understand how Nintendo charges as much as it does for it.

Although I originally thought the download price on the e-shop was expensive ($80 where I come from) in my opinion, Pikmin 3 Deluxe stillAlthough I originally thought the download price on the e-shop was expensive ($80 where I come from) in my opinion, Pikmin 3 Deluxe still manages to be worth the price. The game itself is relatively calm, but it still packs action within itself to deliver the full experience. The game, for one, has stunning graphics; as well as having a wide variety of enemies, fruit and plant life that you can look at in the games piklopedia (a feature added in the deluxe version not in the original Pikmin 3). It also has enough Pikmin variety to shake it up, although it takes a while to find the next Pikmin species, and it sometimes feels tiresome when you have to play the same level repeatedly. Overall, a fun experience that really can't be improved on in my opinion, definitely give it it a shot!

The story, environment, gameplay, music. Everything feels good. The reason I gave this a 7 however is because there is not enough content to justify $60. Nothing was added from Wii U version. But the bigger issue is a lack of content. You can eat this game within 10 hours easily. I'd you are someone who buys games for length over enjoyment I say pass it. If you want a game that will be amazing but won't last too long play it. But this game should have been $20 like it is on the Wii U WITH NO ACTUAL CHANGES!!!

It is rare in my opinion that you get what you see/read in such a straight forward way. Good description and not possible to be deceived or disappointed as long as you read and watch the trailer. Yes, it is a remake, But I never played any of the games before, although I always wanted to play them. Now with the Nintendo Switch, you get a small but wonderfully masterpiece. :D. Time to try it in hard mode :D
