![]() ![]() These graphics make Splatoon look like Super Mario 64! That is right. First of all, this was my first Pikmin game, so I cannot compare it to previous titles, that being said, I knew somewhat about the series before playing (Pikmin are plant aliens, Onions have Pikmin in them, Bulborbs are baddies, etcetera). I gave this game an ages 9+ because the world is vast and kids under that age might find it confusing.įirst of all, I have only played the demo, but it also contains the only content parents should be aware of. This game is so good, I have played it through three times. It's $20 USD new, but if you get it used, it could be even less (it won't have their save data, since that's saved to the console, not the disc). Anyway, you should look up some gameplay footage on this (not all of it, or you might find spoilers), and, if you have a Wii U, get this game. He wins even when he starts out with 1 Pikmin and me 50. My friend is so good at this, it's like he's cheating somehow. You fight against another person, who is doing the same thing. There is also a bingo battle mode, where you retrieve objects such as fruit, marbles, and monsters, to fill out a bingo board and try to get a bingo. Another one allows you to refight boss battles in the game. Another one has you use Pikmin to kill enemies to a ticking clock. One of the modes has you use Pikmin to retrieve treasure and enemies to a ticking clock. There is a mission mode outside the main game (which you can unlock levels in with paid DLC). Whether you are exploring a snowy mountain, tropical rainforest, desert, or barren wasteland, the gameplay is thrilling. The bright colors and realistic graphics are very good. The story is told intuitively through dialogue, narration, and lightly hidden data files from Captain Olimar (which sometimes give you tips on strategy as well). It is the least frustrating that way, and the most fun. ![]() I am saying, please use the GamePad to play. Despite being a real-time strategy and exploration game, the gameplay is surprisingly easy to get a hang of, without needing to look anything up outside the game. The game has this technological feel and wilderness feel at the same time, which is interesting and cool. At the end of a day, the crew drinks a jar of juice, and you must always have enough juice from the fruit. The gameplay is split into "days", which are 15 minutes in real life. Using different members of the crew, you can multitask. You explore areas and use Pikmin to retrieve curious items such as what we know to be a flip phone, and a house phone, and fix briges to get across, and special power-up berries. ![]() Make sure you manage your Pikmin well, so an enemy doesn't blow a huge hole in your squad (meaning, kill most of your Pikmin). Using Pikmin, you can fight enemy monsters, retrieve fruit, and fight bosses to take your ship to different places along the planet. Along the way, they discover new species of Pikmin, which have different powers that are useful to them. (The Koppites are small, by the way.) They discover these small plant-like creatures called Pikmin, who they command to help them reach fruit, and try to get back in the same place. But they crash-land, and end up scattered in different places. So the aforementioned crew (named Captain Charlie, Alph, and Brittany) is sent to PNF-404 (obviously Earth in the future) to gather fruit and take it back to Koppai. This game follows a crew of three people from the planet Koppai, where everyone is going hungry due to overpopulation and lack of resources (very relevant!). Note: You do not have to play the first two Pikmin games to play this one. I don't have a Switch, but I hope Nintendo ports this game to Switch so more people can play this awesome game. ![]() I chose this one, which I think was a great choice. Yes, back in 2014, there was a promotion on the now-defunct Club Nintendo, where if you bought Mario Kart 8, you could choose one of four full price games to get for free, which is awesome. ![]()
