You can now use stylus based controls in Pikmin 3 following a recent update to the adorable title. The new control scheme enables you to throw those ultra cute Pikmin using the GamePad touchscreen with the stylus. Users that wish to use the new control option can do so in the main menu. You can go and update your copy now.
Thanks, George

Pikmin 3 is actually the BEST GAME on Wii U currently and the #1 reason is: BATTLE MODE.
My wife and I have played hundreds of bakes and is always exciting and fun. So many variations on levels and what you can do to strategize. If you’re not playing BATTLE MODE on Pikmin 3, then you ate not playing the BEST game on Wii U. Simple as that.

Before I bought pikmin 3 I didn’t know what I was going to expect. I never played any of the previous entries I only knew about olimar because of smash bros. So I took a chance. The game is now one of the best games I have ever had the pleasure of playing.

It’s not risky at all. The previous 2 Pikmins were amazing and this will be too. I have Wind Waker HD and yeah sure the graphics are nice but I’ve played it before so I tired of it quickly. Pikmin 3, however, is new and will be terrific. That’s the game I’m getting. Who knows I might get the DLC as well or they might make that free too to entice more players.

Pikmin 3 costs more in store than WW HD. With that said Pikmin is the better free value ($60) versus WW HD ($50), Both are awesome, so get what you want but I thought I would point that out.

Pikmin 3 > Pikmin > Pikmin 2 IMO (Pikmin 2 had to many “filler” dungeons for me, they basically artificially lengthened the game with that… Pikmin 1, however, had diverse and awesome environments, and Pikmin 3 improved on Pikmin 1, made it less stressful *looks at water wraith* and made the game beautiful, made Pikmin A.I. near perfection, and made boss battles much much better!)
LikeLike
I loved all Pikmin games. But I still feel like Pikmin 2 was the best. It was longer, had a better story, and collecting the treasures was MUCH more fun than fruit, fruit, and more fruit. And I loved how the underground areas had no time limit. My biggest complaint was the multiple, identical treasures. Couldn’t Nintendo have thought of anything other than marbles and rings etc.? Still, best Pikmin game.
Pikmin 3 was fun. But it failed to become my favorite due to the fruit collecting, and the fact that the game felt way too short. I never did play the event battles though. I was going to, but started playing other games.
LikeLike
The mission modes are the stuff that make this game as addicting as is, you should give them a try.
And your biggest complaint is the fact you collect fruit… Really? It’s almost the same thing with different look you know.
LikeLike
Well, I loved the real life products (treasures) that you could collect in Pikmin 2. It made it more interesting, and sometimes funny. Even in Pikmin 2, the fruit was a little boring to me. And that’s all there is in Pikmin 3. Collect fruit, drink the juice, read the same thing after they get done drinking it, then start another day.
Sure, it’s a minor thing to complain about, but sometimes even a minor complaint can cause a game to fall short from glory. My REAL biggest complaint is probably that the game felt too short. I loved it, but there just wasn’t enough. OH!…..the controls weren’t as smooth as in Pikmin 2 either. Certain things was more difficult and frustrating. But it’s been a while since I played it, so I can’t remember everything. I do plan to return to it some day and play those mission modes.

I use it a lot in most games, but I just feel Wiimote + Nunchuck is the best for Pikmin. And I just the GamePad for a map even then!
In Wind Waker HD, GamePad is the way to go! I tried using the Pro Controller for that game, but having to pause all the time ruined the experience. I use both Pro and GamePad in Assassin’s Creed, as both are just as good, though Pro Controller is more comfortable. Most Indie games uses only GamePad, but I use Pro for VC games. Just bough a new Pro Controller for MK8, so I have 2 now, that makes three controllers with the GamePad!
