I expect we will see more reviews in the next couple of days. Stay tuned!

Also, we are less than a week away now, and...this will actually be my first Pikmin game...

EDGE Review is up!

http://www.edge-online.com/review/pikmin-3-review/

"Familiarity is both the worst and best thing about Pikmin 3. Twelve years after the original and nine after the sequel, little has changed – but little really needed to. It may not sell systems on its own, but it’s a fine addition to a sparse software library that brings one of Nintendo’s most vibrantly characterful series into the HD era and, critically, makes convincing use of the GamePad. And that, pending the arrival of a true system seller, is what Wii U needs most of all."

8/10

Pretty good review. Only complaint is that it's more of the same, and is that really a problem after 9 years?

Well, it's rare to get such a score from EDGE. I think it's the highest Wii U score thus far.

*Gasp* "That game's a sequel! Must instantly lower score!" = How reviewers think.

Oh..My...God...You and your game threads. One question. Is there online in this game?

Glad the reviews have been good. Especially with Edge. They are hit or miss with Nintendo is seems.

I'm not sure what you're suggesting. This is a gaming site, after all!

 

No online, only leaderboards.
