Probably the best game to start with but lacks the heart and soul as the rest of the series
THIS IS THE GAME THAT BROUGHT ME INTO THE SERIES!!!!
This is where it all began....
I was like, bro, I need a good Nintendo Game. I've played too much Mario. XD XD XD XD Where is a good game?
Then I found THIS!!!!
I currently own ALL The Pikmin Games. (That includes 1, 2, 3, 3 Deluxe, 4, & Hey! Pikmin. My family also owns it on "Nintendo Land." I have also played "Pikmin Bloom," another fun, but addicting game.)
So, it's obvious. I absolutely LOVE Pikmin.
My favorite animal is literally a "Bulborb."
XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD
Honestly, I need all of your support. I'm already looking forwards to Pikmin 5 and 6.
Explore a beautiful world full of exotic creatures, Pikmin of all different species, and Bulborbs that burn, freeze, and eat your Pikmin!!!
(I have literally cataloged ALL the Pikmin creatures just as a side-hobby. XD XD XD XD)
You can tell I'm obsessed. That is why I rated it the same as "Super Mario Galaxy."

Pikmin 3 is good. Maybe great even. Or close. The Wii U is what drags it down. A combination of motion controls and that weird-ass tablet screen just suck the joy out of playing Pikmin 3. It's great in spite of the Wii U. I'm sure the rerelease onto the Switch makes it a 5* game, but I haven't felt compelled to find out
I loved it
Played on Wii u and I’m so glad I did
The control scheme of having the Wii controller, nunchuck and game pad was perfect
Legitimately one of the best game pad utilisations I’ve seen
It was all just so natural and fed into the hectic planning that you have to do in the game

My first Pikmin game
And my first game with the genre of command army to solve puzzles
The setting is really cool, with how small our characters are, it had a lot of Bugs Life vibe to it

excellent game, feels a bit weaker than the first 2 cause of the easier difficulty. it seems like a call-back in structure in how you need to collect fruit in order to survive, kind of trying to give the player some tension like in the first one but you never really do run out of fruit supply. the gameplay is still kind of the same so i still heavily enjoyed it.
Beat this on both Wii U and Switch. Still holds up after all these years.
absolutely flawless

Excellent video game. Using the a wii remote + the gamepad, the game just feels so good. Being able to do nice and fluent movements with wii remote and then being able manage all my captains using the gamepad feels natural and intuitive and is probably the second best use of the gamepad behind mario maker. I didn't expect to enjoy the gameplay as much as I did, I expected it to be either to stressful or to laid back, but it found a great middle ground. The atmosphere and world definitely make you feel small and isolated, but also almost at home where your meant to be. Anyways, this is by no means a perfect game but its near flawless.
Die Bosse sind teils irgendwie echt cool und dann wieder abfuck. Hat dennoch hart bock gemacht, controls waren echt gut nach Gewöhnung.
Way too easy of a Pikmin game. The time limit is back, but with one exception, the player adjusted time limit serves no threat. The game feels the need to constantly add cutscenes that take far too much time, especially compared to the silent and eerie nature of its two predecessors.
The perfect game
We should throw Rock Pikmin through the windows of the Supreme Court
The graphics update compared to the wii/gamecube versions of the game were phenomenal, however the straightforward gameplay of "Do this or you'll never advance the story" always bothered me as a kid. There was barely any free range to the game, which is just a me issue when it comes to it. It doesn't have too many rewarding aspects when it comes to replayability, and overall the ending felt kinda disappointing to me.
Love the game, but definitely my least favorite of the franchise. Still love Rock and Winged pikmin tho. Silly little critters.

Pikmin 2 and Pikmin 3 are both divergent evolutions of the Pikmin formula. While Pikmin 2 ends up brimming with charm and depth, Pikmin 3 has two things that Pikmin 2 does not: consistency and Bingo Battle.
childhood game. fire as fuck
Pikmin 3, what a game. Not as good as 1 and 2, but still quite good. Would recommend if you have the time!
PIKMIN WITH FRUIT
The atmosphere and gameplay loop make this game so fun no matter how stressful the time management is! I am so glad this was my first pikmin game because it only makes me want to check out the other games more <3
My only regret is that I haven't played this game sooner
My favorite in the series. Just incredible.
Personal favorite of the series, time management and efficiency return
The best Pikmin game to speedrun for sure! The gamepad usage is actually good and makes “dandori” lots of fun.
However, the game is pretty easy and makes most of the difficultyhave to come from self imposed challenges like beating the game fast.
But still, it’s a good game

this happened to me last wednesday
This game will just let your completionist mindset run rampant on the best way possible.
Actual masterpiece.

Primer juego en Wii U jugado y me resultó una experiencia más que agradable, me dejaba descomprimir la cabeza y mecánicamente es muy divertido. La historia podría aportar mucho más y siento que sacaron pikmins que podrían haber estado. El combate es bastante incómodo a veces pero el juego es divertido.
Pikmin 1 didn't quite scratch my Pikmin itch as much as I wanted it to, so I sat down and played through Pikmin 3 between last night and today. The only thing I knew about this game going in is that I remembered hearing it was a little short. Compared to the dungeon crawling epic that is Pikmin 2, then yes, I suppose that's true, but I think this game was just as long as it needed to be. I collected all the fruit and it took me 36 days and about 18-ish real time hours.
This game controls totally left-handed with the Wii U tablet and with the right hand manning the stylus. Granted, plaything through the whole thing in one sitting did a bit of a number on my wrist, but I'm just gonna hope that feels better by morning XP. I'm not sure I like it better than the Gamecube controls, but I like it better than the Wiimote+numchuk controls. The only thing you can't do is direct your hoard in a direction like you can with the C-stick in the Gamecube games. Although you DO have a dodge roll you can get and activate with left and right on the D-pad which is pretty freaking sweet. Using the stylus to aim isn't an exact science, at least if you wanna play with the TV + tablet instead of just the tablet, but you get used to it pretty quick.
The graphics are BEAUTIFUL. This is one of my favorite looking games of last (this?) generation. All of the landscapes are beautifully detailed with tons of graphical detail and vibrant colors. The monsters look fantastic, and the really big ones are always a joy to even see just because of how oddball they are and fluidly they move. The level design is proper quality as well, as it always encourages you to inspect all of your surroundings to find dat fruit. Three main party members as well as a "Go To" feature on your map allows for some serious multi-tasking if you're up for it, and there are some decidedly more fiendishly hidden fruit that will require tactical use of all three members each wielding Pikmin of their own.
The combat is Pikmin as usual, more or less, but the world bosses are GREAT. One of my favorite parts of the game. This is the best the Pikmin themselves have ever been balanced, in my opinion. The two new types, rock and flying, replace the old types of purple and white, and have fantastic utility to both of them in that the flying can handle flying enemies easier, and rocks don't cling to things but do damage on impact as well as breaking enemy carapaces. Add in the exploration utility of things like the normal 3 (and yellows which are good at digging now and not nearly as useless as they used to be), and this is definitely one of the best designed games in the series.
Verdict: Highly recommended. A lot of care and detail went into this game, and it shows. It's a great adventure you can get through in a day or two, but it's a damn fun and memorable one. Definitely worth a try if you liked either of the other games even a little :)
