A wonderful experience. Pikmin 3 fixes the vast majority of the problems from the first 2, bringing Pikmin to the modern age. Unfortunately this also means the game is far easier, even on hard mode. The last 2 bosses do bring up the difficulty though, which was very welcome. This is the only game in the series where I never felt frustrated, it was fun all the way through (a nice change of pace after Pikmin 2).

Overall, I'd say this is the best the Pikmin franchise has to offer, and I can't wait for Pikmin 4.
