In its effort to add back sorely-missed content into the somewhat lacking original, Pikmin 3 Deluxe ends up missing the mark on exactly what made the original so compelling. A cumbersome new control system and a butchered Bingo Battle cannot be compensated for by the addition of a (itself somewhat lacking) Piklopedia, and a few bonus mission mode-style stage remixes.
If you can get the original on Wii U, I believe that to be the supreme experience overall. In general, though, Pikmin 3 is still Pikmin 3, and will satisfy long time fans enough, and will certainly satisfy newcomers. If you ask me, Pikmin 3 is still the game to start the series with, and Deluxe does little to shift that position.

actually loved it. i haven’t played this one in so long and i never hear anyone talk about it but it’s a ton of fun. it’s not as good as Pikmin 1, no matter what people tell you, but it does expand on everything that game introduced and more
