The latest edition of Japanese gaming publication Famitsu has the first review of the long-awaited Pikmin 3 for Wii U. The magazine awarded the Wii U exclusive a more than respectable 37/40. The four reviewers awarded the game three 9′s and one perfect 10. Pikmin 3 launches in Europe on July 26th and in North America on August 4th.
Thanks, Glem3

I have to disagree with the commander on this one, you need to try first one, that is the true pikmin experience, the second is broken in so many ways.

I think both are awesome. I liked the time limit in the first one because it forced me to be smart and skillful. But I didn’t like the time limit because it stressed me out. Also I can 100% the game in under 6 hours I think. Pikmin 2 is significantly longer with more enemies, bosses, and treasures. The feeling of exploration is increased, as well as 2(or 3) additional Pikmin types to add depth to the puzzles. On the other hand, anyone can beat the game if they gather dozens of the Bitter/Spicy sprays, and there is no time limit. So some of the challenge is gone. Plus the purples are kind of overpowered. Overall, I like the 2nd one more, but I can totally understand the opposite.

It’s a start though. It’s one of Nintendo’s IPs that is still relatively new, so it ISN’T Mario or Zelda, and once this comes out, we’ll be getting one Wii U game per month. It’ll start with these two, then Zelda Wind Waker HD (I didn’t play the original, so this will be for me), then Donkey Kong, then Mario.
LikeLike
I agree. I think Pikmin has potential to be up there with Mario, Zelda and Pokemon. The difference is that those games have been around for about 25 years, so they have quite the fanbase. Pikmin on the other hand has only been around for 12. I think that putting Olimar in SSBB helped a lot in getting the name out there though.

Pikmin is a genius game, fun a hell, but it’s not as mainstream as the Mario Kart games and such… A lot of people don’t understand what it is, and it’s hard to explain (in my opinion) Nintendo would probably do well to invest in developing demo, or something so people can experience it. Maybe a tutorial Demo.

Yeh , that comparison PROVES that resolution means nothing unless used right…
People are always bitching about Resolution and framerate , whilst they are important. it’s the actual graphics that matter.
For example , imagine if there was a game which litteraly had the same graphics as real life right. If it was rendered at 720p 30FPS , it would still destroy anything that was out today by a hundred times over.
Pikmin 3 looks sensational.
