    it's a great game in 2013 on the wii U. every wii U port so far I feel is overpriced and has been played less than it's original and that is defo the case here because it adds so little. It feels the same but now with a harder mode and worse gyro control.

    Beyond disappointed. Played both Pikmin 1 and 2. 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 “theBeyond disappointed. Played both Pikmin 1 and 2.

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.… Expand

    A charming game that aged gracefully, really great in co-op and perfect for kids. Who would have thought that fighting ladybugs and digging out lost fruits can be so exciting! [01/2021, p.39]

    This is the perfect Pikmin package. [Issue #50 – January/February 2021, p. 66]

    Pikmin 3 Deluxe is the best way to experience Pikmin 3. Tons of minor changes make the game more accessible, and the new content adds a couple of hours to the short main campaign. Still, the game is largely the same game that appeared on the WiiU, from its colorful visuals to gameplay.
