Some graphical shortcomings and a campaign that ends perhaps a little prematurely keep the game from achieving perfection, but Pikmin 3 serves as a compelling argument for purchasing a Wii U, and a fantastic experience that anyone can enjoy. Let’s just hope we’re not waiting another five years for the sequel.
Pikmin 3 is absolutely the sequel that everybody has been waiting for and is well worth exploring, whether you are a veteran or newcomer to the series.
Pikmin 3 is a game that doesn't try to re-invent the wheel. For better or worse, it sticks to the formula of past titles and has just enough tweaks—like three characters or two new types of Pikmin—to keep it from feeling stale.
I said a while back around the Wii U launch that Pikmin 3 was the system seller for me. I bought one a little while ago ready for Pikmin 3, and I’m not disappointed that I did. This is the best game on Wii U and certainly one of the best games released this year, but there are aspects of it that will disappoint fans of the series.
The official Pikmin 3 website for Europe is now open. You can check it out and see what's up in the world of Pikmin, including a look at Pikmin types and gameplay mechanics. Have a look and get ready for the game's release!
