*SORR: Pikmin 3

Reasons to like it:

  • The already amazing gameplay from the first two games is improved upon
  • More strategy has been added and is more of a focus in this game
  • The new Pikmin types add fun and variety 
  • Mission mode is fun and adds to an already 20+ hour story
  • The graphics are the best so far on the Wii U (Yes, better than 3D World IMO) and the artstyle is very nice
  • A nice balance of difficulty 
  • The game will make you smile because it has a lot of humor and charm
  • The music does an awesome job at setting the atmosphere
  • The GamePad is actually useful in the game acting as a map

 

Reasons it could be better:

  • The Bingo multiplayer could've been better
  • A Co-OP story mode would've been pretty cool
  • The white Pikmin are missing :( 

 

Overall, Pikmin 3 is not only worth the long 9 year wait, but is also the best Wii U game currently released hands down. (Actually in my Top 10 games of all time) Pikmin as a series won't be for everyone, but if you liked the previous games or just like strategy games, Pikmin 3 is awesome. My "issues" with the game are more like nitpicking and doesn't hinder the game at all. Bottom line: if you own a Wii U, you must buy this game as it's currently the only "must own" the system has.

Well of course Pikmin 3 looks better than 3D World. 3D World's art style was pretty bland. I've never played any Pikmin games, how were they?



Con:
Could of had online to make it better

I agree. The graphics are nice for both games but the artstyle in Pikmin 3 is much better to me. 

The Pikmin series is one of my favorites and all 3 games are really good. The 3rd one improves upon the first 2 and more detail is added. 

They are pretty relaxed and slow paced so if you don't like that kind of game you might not like it. Pikmin is the type of game you have to just try for yourself to understand it. I remember I first saw Pikmin when a friend was playing it and I thought it looked really dumb and pointless. Years later, I borrowed it and thought it was awesome.
