Pikmin 3 Deluxe (Switch)

This game was great! I was hooked with this game when I saw the gameplay trailer and knew 100% that I wanted this game! I’m not an avid gamer like my husband, but this game was so much fun to play and really tests your thinking skills. It also has side quests, and mini games along with the main story. The cuteness of the pikmin are an added bonus!🤗

A Great Port of a Wii U Gem

Pikmin 3 is a fantastic game, and was so when it initially released on the Wii U years ago. This Switch port add some nice enhancements and additions but is essentially the same game with sightly better graphics.If you missed it on the Wii U, it's a great pick up for the Switch; but if you already played it when it originally released like I did it doesn't add much to make replaying the game a vastly different experience.The new content is nice, in particular some of the epilogue missions and the new multiplayer modes; but on the whole it's not enough to really justify the $60 price tag if you played the game previously.For new players, it's a great pickup, even at $60. If you played it on the Wii U I would still recommend it, but maybe wait for it to go on ... MorePikmin 3 is a fantastic game, and was so when it initially released on the Wii U years ago.

A fun management game

I wasn't sure that I'd enjoy a time management game even with the pikmin asthetic, but for $30 I decided now was the time to find out. I'm glad I did because Pikmin 3 has been a lot of fun. I haven't beaten it yet, I've only recently unlocked all the Pikmin types, but the game is a lot more forgiving than I had expected and even lets you redo a days of exploration if you lost a lot of pikmin or feel you could've done better that day. There are some challenges to overcome and several multi-tasking puzzels but they are a lot of fun to overcome. Would recomend.

Beautiful style game, reminds me of “Lemmings”

I like this game, it’s a puzzle type “Lemmings” sort of game but way more complex. My favorite aspect of this game is in the visuals. So beautiful, transporting you into this world you’re navigating, and the music and sounds are so relaxing. I would forget about the game and then something would run at me and I remember to play. At any rate, fun and challenging, beautiful game. I think it you like puzzle type games this is for you.

Catriona's review of Pikmin 3 Deluxe

Pros: Really immersive game that allows you to play for short bursts at a time. Each day (level) can be replayed allowing you to easily improve on your last attempt or you can plough through to the end. There are lots of other game play styles giving endless scenarios to play throughCons: Love the game too much to have found any things to improve on

Great Game and Great Multiplayer

This game is a lot of fun but rather short. For those unfamiliar with the Pikmin series, imagine a game like StarCraft or Warcraft but instead of commanding a bunch of units, you are working with 5 different units each with it's own abilities. The game is more puzzle based than other real time strategy games. That's what makes Pikmin 3 unique.The single player options are fun are rewarding. The game shines really well for local co-op. Bingo battle is probably my favorite mode. The main campaign also features multiplayer. It would have been nice to against a difficult opponent in bing battle. The game hasn't been updated since it released, so I doubt new content might be added.

Great Game as a Xmas Gift

It arrived earlier than expected which is great! So I don’t need to worry about it later. I came in brand new, plastic wrap (never been open). It's a great game for a child who is starting off playing games. I grew up playing this pikmin franchise, great memories I had with the pikmins. I definitely recommend this game to everyone for the nintendo switch. 5/5 stars!

No new features but the same expensive pricetag

My son played pikmin at aftercare and really liked it. We did not own a game system. And Finally, years after purchasing the switch because my son wanted this game, it is finally here. No bells and whistles. No new features (for which I am personally disappointed since there was plenty of time to add such features). No lower price since it was not necessarily a new game. But, my kid liked playing it on Ninetendo and he enjoys playing it on Nintendo switch.

Pikmin 3 Deluxe is FANTASTIC!

Pikmin 3 Deluxe is fantastic! I haven't played Pikmin since it was on the Game Cube system many moons ago. I'll warn you, this game is addicting and the puzzles are challenging! I honestly couldn't put it down and found that any free time I had was devoted to harvesting more and more Pikmin. Nintendo did a fantastic job bring life back into this game and you won't be disappointed! I love that they sing a little song when they are all bunched up together wandering around the map.

Sally's review of Pikmin 3 Deluxe

Pros: Played the first 2 games for GameCube and never bought a wii u so I never got to play the third game in the series, as soon as I bought the switch I knew this would be the first game I was buying! I actually love it, fills me with so much nostalgia. Plays just like the other 2 games in the series, and I love all the extra mini games and challenges! I also love the camera function that's been added, would seriously recommendCons: Seems as though this game is definitely designed more for 2 players or it would be a lot easier if you had 2 players
