Pikmin 3 but awesome. Multiplayer is kino that lets you tag up with a buddy through the story. This allows better multitasking and just more fun to be had. The difficulties are alright, but just stick to hard mainly.

Uno de los juegos que más aprovechan el Wii U, suficientemente corto y largo para sacarlo al 100% siempre que lo juego, solo que los agregados y cambios del Switch no valen la pena.


This made the world of Pikmin look even more beautiful graphically. Not my favorite in the series but still a fun time.

Only ever played it 2 player, but a great time getting through the story, very charming, management has reached new levels of customizable and the world designs are lovely. The vs multiplayer options are also remarkably fun, I didn't expect much going in but they're an absolute joy. Could be a bit longer and more difficult, but totally charmed while playing.

Perfect for coop, although camping is a bit short. Additional Olimar missions are really fun too. Can't imagine playing it solo and shuffling through 3 capitans on the time limit tho.

Fun little game with a cute story that forces you to strategize while not being too tedious about it.

Overall a fun play, but there were some points that annoyed me. Controlling three captains is also very difficult at times.

the same as the original pikmin game only with slightly worse controls

Rentoa ja parempaa Pikmin menoa, kunnes lopun pomo pilasi fiilistä isosti.

Too short and easy. Lock-on takes out most of the fun. The side story missions were pretty good though

🇪🇸 - Un juego de gestión y estrategia que encaja perfecto con mi yo compulsivo jaja todo en el juego desde la musica, el estilo visual es tan bonito, lástima que la historia principal sea tan corta.
El modo en que comandas grupos de pikmin, te divides tareas y trabajas todo lo posible para avanzar lo más que puedas antes de acabar el día me mantuvieron pegado a este juego, y el dolor que sientes al perder a tus pikmin es de lo peor.

Obsesionado con esta saga y que ganas de jugar el 4.

🇬🇧 - A management and strategy game that fits perfectly with my compulsive self, haha. Everything in the game, from the music to the visual style, is so lovely. It's a pity that the main story is so short. The way you command groups of Pikmin, divide tasks, and work as much as possible to progress as far as you can before the day ends kept me hooked till the end. The pain you feel when you lose your Pikmin is the worst.

I'm obsessed with this saga, and I can't wait to play the fourth installment.

Pikmin 2 en mieux...si ils avaient remis les grottes. :(

It's crazy that they would make the Side Missions the best part of the game.

This review contains spoilers

This was the first Pikmin game I played after Pikmin 4. Honestly, this would be scored lower if it weren't for the bonus missions with Olimar and Louie. They're a lot of fun and similar to the Dandori challenges in Pikmin 4. Plus, Louie is my favorite character, and I loved the interactions between him and Olimar.

I loved the characters in Pikmin 4, but didn't really connect with the Koppaites. It's really mostly because of how they treat Louie. When they rescue him, he wakes up on their ship and thinks he's been kidnapped, so he takes their food and runs away. Then, they capture him and tie him up.

Olimar's notes said somewhere that Louie needs to eat three times as much as a regular person, and they're only feeding him 1/4 of a jar of fruit juice every day. They could have brought back creatures for him to eat since he's the only one on board who will eat meat, but no. >:( I just felt so bad for him. Brittany especially got on my nerves. She made fun of Louie for being semi-verbal.

It also just...doesn't make sense that they eat so little of their food. They could really each be having a jar of fruit juice every day. I finished the game with enough to play through the whole thing again 3 or 4 times over without collecting any more fruit. They just need the seeds to save their planet, not all the juice.

...Anyway, the gameplay. It's a nice balance between challenging and relaxing, but I really think switching between three characters doesn't work. There are parts where it makes sense to split off into two teams, but the only places where you need three are specific puzzles. It's also annoying when you run into a puzzle that requires three people and you're not all together.

This is a fun entry in the series and the second most accessible to newcomers. but had I played this first and not Pikmin 4, it would not have made me fall in love with the franchise.

A good game, but the weakest in the series so far. Very short and holds your hand too much, when the credits started rolling it felt like I had finished the tutorial. But unlike with Pikmin 2, it wasn't like "the real game starts now", the game actually ended.

The extra content in the Switch version is nice.

Louie is a war criminal.

easiest fucking pikmin game of all time

Loved it. The Rock and Winged Pikmin are awesome additions and the three captains make for really fun strategy.

Pikmin 3 the best in the series:

> No caves
> Louie's cooking notes
> Introduction of rock pikmin, a gang of 100 of these can annihilate anything
> 6 types of pikmin of any given time in your crew (see and learn pikmin 4)
> Control three captains at the same time and maneuver them by selecting destinations on the map (the pinnacle of strategy games)
> Enjoying refreshing juice at the end of each day
> Maps are full of tiny secrets and puzzles
> Huge fauna variety for the pikmin to have fun

Maintaining the series' tradition: dialogues, items/enemys descriptions, logs, and the overall story is so charming as it can be.

If the Pikmin series is pure delight, Pikmin 3 is transcendent joy


Amo tanto esse jogo que comprei duas vezes

After playing Pikmin 2 this one feels easier as everyone says but I don't think that's a negative thing, it's more like a breath of fresh air. Although the control is clunky sometimes I really enjoyed it and the graphics are prettier! I love that there's a camera mode to take photos (but I wish you could move freely while doing so). Also there's the bingo!! If only Nintendo would make it online...

I have yet to complete the side missions but my only complaint is not having purple and white pikmin in the story mode.

Eu amo esse jogo, não joguei sua sequência, então, até o momento que digito isso, esse é o melhor, é tão divertido e satisfatório ver sua tropa por todo o mapa, realizando as tarefas que vc ordenou. Joguei pela segunda vez com minha esposa, e deixou o jogo muito melhor.
Campanha muito divertida, e os extras são desafiadores se vc buscar pela melhor pontuação, recomendo demais.


Lo más alien de ese planeta son los aguacates que dan zumo

It seems the people at Nintendo heard the negative feedback about the second game, because Pikmin 3 is much more like the first game. Caves are gone, the focus on exploration is back, with the objective being collecting fruits, not unlike the ship parts from Pikmin 1, with those fruits being used to produce juice, the substitute for the day limit of the first game, seeing as the captains need juice to survive or else it’s a game over. That’ll hardly be an issue though, because this game is considerably easier than the previous two.

That was the thing that stood out the most to me on my first run, because I was coming right after two games where I had to carefully plan each step or else my precious little guys would end up being mauled by creatures or electrified to death (among many other horrid fates). But in Pikmin 3, the hazards aren’t nearly as deadly and the enemies come nowhere near close to the level of threat of those games, not even the bosses.

However, the game being easier didn’t take away from my enjoyment at all. Having almost a 10 year gap from the previous game, the gameplay got refined to a new level. The areas are much more expansive and delightful to explore, full of setpieces that show how gorgeous the scenery is; the Pikmin AI is more responsive and the combat is more intuitive, thanks to the new lock-in and charge mechanics; and despite the boss battles being much easier, they’re true spectacles, due to how massive some of them are (although some of them can feel a bit too scripted).

But just like the previous two games can be defined by a single aspect, with the first game’s being the atmosphere and Pikmin 2’s being the combat, Pikmin 3’s defining aspect is the multitasking. You can alternate between three captains and use the new “Go Here” feature to send each of them to a different place in the map to do different tasks simultaneously, that way you can optimize your efficiency in getting the collectibles back to the ship.

Mastering multitasking is CRUCIAL in this game’s side mode called Mission Mode, in which the objective is to collect all treasures or defeat all enemies within a time limit. This mode is where I spent more than half of my 75 hours playtime with this game, trying to get platinum medals on all 30 missions, whose timer is ABSURDLY strict for some of them - it forces you to be the master of planning and divide tasks between all three captains while making sure they’re taking the most optimal routes in each map. The Mission Mode is simply the best thing about this game.

Pikmin 3 is also more replayable than the second game due to it being shorter and nowhere near as stressful, but I’d say I like both of them equally. When I want to have some action, I might replay Pikmin 2, but when I want to chill and have a good time, I might replay Pikmin 3.

second most replayable game in the series, three captains and waypointing them made for tons of ways to multitask. the quaggled mireclops boss fight keeps me from giving this a perfect score.
