Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Pikmin 3 is crazy unappreciated

Tagged games:

It's a beautiful, charming and motivating game with brilliant controls and a deep atmosphere. I finished it 3x already and still pop it in sometimes. Now every time I play it, I just intend to do one or two days, but I always end up doing way more since at the end of each day I always think to myself "just let me finish that bridge / grab that fruit / kill that enemy". And the mulitplayer is very cool, although I usually lose against my gf.

It is my favorite game on the Wii U. Although X is making a fight for its money... and hopefully Zelda can do so too.



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

Definitely is a good game, but I don't really think it's under appreciated..

Demo not impress me at all.



I always list it as one of my favorite games this gen... I liked it enough that, even though a digital copy came with my console, I felt the need to get a physical copy too.

It's simply superb and absolutely charming. Making me want to go play it again lol

I'd say it's not as memorable as the first two games, heck I've only replayed it once so far, but it is a damn fine game, one of the Wii U's best for sure. Can't wait to see what they've done in 4!



It was pretty much the game I bought my Wii U for, and I do love it to pieces. I think I probably agree with most others though that it was appreciated as much as you could expect because of how unambitious it was. It could have been so much more, but it was what Nintendo seems to be into this gen: simple and safe.



It's the best in the series to me. That last part carrying Olmar and the boss was epic.



Pikmin 3 is definitely one of the best 5 games for Wii U.
Beautiful, colorful, with great gameplay...there is nothing similar on market like Pikmin 3.

Problem with Pikmin 3 was that was delayed several times (initially plan was to be Wii U launch title) and was released in middle of summer, also in worst time for Wii U, Wii U were breaking records with bad sales, internet was full of negative articles about Wii U...all that affected in some way that people somehow forget about game, also one problem for game is that is hard to find it.

But I don't agree that W101 is more often mention, biggest reason why W101 is mentioned because has just terrible sales despite fact that is a good game.

I think with Nintendo Selects people will become much more aware about this gem.

Also I cant wait to Nintendo revile Pikmin 4, and this point I hope that is NX only game that will great use NX hardware, I cant imagine how Pikmin will look on stronger hardware when Pikmin 3 looks so beatifule on Wii U hardware.



It's a lot of fun could be a bit longer though, I beat the game with all the fruit collected in 3 days(real life days).
