I should get my copy tomorrow and I am prepared to get disappointed.

No co-op for the campaign, is that right? Nintendo really knows how to make me hate the moronic Gamepad decision even more.

Why would be disappointed? Miyamoto can not possibly crap out a bad Pikmin game.

If he does, you'll know. Because I would've killed him.

My copy has been dispatched! Not long now, hopefully...

I am awaiting Rol's opinions, though. They should be informative.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

...I really don´t get why these reviews mock Pikmin 3 for the "lack" of online and co-op...games shouldn´t be reviewed with a checklist...this behaviour leads to completely undesired multiplayer options, which nobody wants (Tomb Raider says Hi) and are a responsible for the ballooning costs of "AAA" (I hate the term) games (among many others of course)....
..oh well, 87 is a great score nontheless...

I could not agree more.

There are enough games out there with a focus on multiplayer and coop (with proportionality shrunken and compromised single player experiences) that I am perfectly happy for some games to simply focus on what they do best. i.e. crafting a fantastic, interesting or unique single player experience.

For example multiplayer Metroid personally doesn't work for me and any time someone decides to try and add a multiplayer mode to a Metroid game I would just wish for them to spend that same time further tweaking and refining the single player experience.

Having said that a three player co-op Pikmin might have made alot of sense given the structure of the game. Was it never planned or  so it something that didn't make the cut in the rush to make the release deadline? Who knows.

A well implemented coop might have further elevated a Pikmin game but I don't see it's absence as something that necessarily warrants decreasing its score.  Missing multiplayer in a FPS would be another thing entirely.



Excellent news for WiiU gamers. Pikmin seems to be appreciated among all critics out there... Can't wait to put my hands on this excellent title.
