>Lovely graphics
>3 captain mechanics

>Map on gamepad is win
Yeah i like it.
But i wish it was longer, the missions are really fun but they squeeze your balls too hard.
I wish there was a more relaxed mode like in 2.
I really, REALLY think the WiiU should get at least one last pikmin game that is the definitive one and has all the good things of the previous games including a sort of "free mode" with no pressure.
But it won't happen unfortunately.
I think th efruit mechanic was brilliant. It was a perfect balance between tension and relaxation.
Plsu those fruits look so realistic
>>258382742
Holy shit is that a screenshot fro the game?
Can we talk about how the local multiplayer is the best fucking thing ever
Too bad not many of my friends are interested in playing it with me
>tfw opponent is about to win the game by carrying the last object to their onion
>tfw you bomb-kill the pikmin on their way
>>258382368
I cannot do the enemy missions.
How do I git gud at them?
Do not forget that the water physics are one of the best I've seen in a videogame so far
>>258382368
>they squeeze your balls too hard.
this is my major complaint as well. Even the early missions had me sweating like a maniac. Still fun just, not very relaxing. The pace is at odds with the visuals. Which is interesting I suppose,
I'm about halfway through I think, but I still haven't seen any purple or white pikmin.
Where are they?
>>258384331
Multiplayer only.
>>258383332
Yes. It has the most photorealistic fruits ever.
<-Pizza too.
>>258384450
Disappointing
>>258384572
To be honest purple pikmins are literally the most OP shit ever.
They make reds completely obsolete, it's boring.
>>258381410
Let's talk instead about how shitty it is compared to Pikmin 2
>no camera zoom
>reinstates the time limit, but makes it lenient enough that it's never actually a pressing concern, and instead a constant annoyance to keep in mind that prevents you from just enjoying the world at your own pace
>no camera zoom
>>258384740
And of course there's always this fucking guy every pikmin thread.
>>258384837
>no camera zoom
>>258381410
I really liked it.
But I preferred the feel of 2 more I think.
It was a bit more relaxed and the multi level dungeons where pretty fun.
This one felt like they where trying to harken back to what made 1 a challenging experience without chasing away the people who liked 2.
>>258384678
It's like >>258382368 says. Pikmin 3 doesn't utilize everything the other 2 games did well. Even if purple pikmin were op they could rebalance in some way.
>>258384921
>no camera zoom
>>258384678
But...fire.
>>258384926
>This one felt like they where trying to harken back to what made 1 a challenging experience without chasing away the people who liked 2
That's why IMO is the best of the 3. It combines both the pressure of the first one without losing the most comfy feeling of 2.
Fruit mechanic was perfect and I hop it returned in a future Pikmin.
>Plz let it be a future Pikmin
>>258382742
I fucking tell you, they're in cahoots together with the fruit industry.
Whenever I play the game I get the urge to buy all sorts of fruits and make smoothies out of them
>>258384572
>>258384450
>>258384331
Actually Mission Mode uses Purples and Whites quite a lot. Whites are needed for a lot of transportation bits and there's plenty of fruit that rely on Purples to carry.
>>258385653
Duuuuude. I bought a fruit blender after finishing Pikmin 3. I'm not kidding.
I also love how Nintendo apparently is behind the times in graphics yet somehow managed to create something so photorealistic it could fool someone to think it's a real photo of a fruit.
How are Pikmin 1 and 2's Wii versions?
>>258386024
They're the same thing as the GCN versions, but with pointer control.
It actually works really well, but it tires my wrist a bit. You also get a little bit more range with it than the GCN controls.

Pic related, it's pretty good and I use it almost daily
>>258386024

>>258384678
This bosses without element offensives like fire and elec. are fodder to purple let alone their stun locks made two a breeze.

I like standard controls more, i hate anything involving motion controls.
>>258381410
I want pikmon 3, but I don't want a wiiu
>>258387076
It's actually just for pointing, which makes aiming as quick and almost as easy as using a mouse. It's absolutely superior to standard. There isn't any waggling or other nonsense.
>>258387234
Well, you do need to waggle for charging/dismissing.
>>258387170
There's enough there and enough on the horizon to warrant a purchase.

>>258387234
I don't want to point, i want to hold a controller.
I think the wiimotes are inferior to any other controller simply for the fact that you even have to point.
I brought a WiiU JUST because motion controls aren't shoved in your face.
I completely hate motion controls of any kind, i hate holding wiimotes, i think they're awful in every possible way, i jut want a normal controller and the WiiU gave me just that.
its aight but I dislike how easy everything is
they dont even try to surprise you anymore, they warn you about everything
like half the fun of pikmin was being trolled by some of the enemies
and in pikmin 2 they got rid of that
also the game is too short, I'm bored of it at 40 ish hours.
>>258385006
Well they did balance Purple Pikmin by limiting them to Mission mode, when you're limited by such a strict time frame they're(and also white Pikmin) are balanced.
Though I think they might have nerfed their abilities as well since they didn't seem to be as good in combat as I remember.
I would love a Pikmin Trilogy release for Wii U with Pikmin 1 & 2 remade on the Pikmin 3 engine.
>>258387847
Have you tried getting platinum on the Mission Modes
>>258388907
I'd love that too but only if they readded c-stick controls
>>258387170
If you want Pikmin 3 you want a WiiU.
>>258388907
I would REALLY like that.
It would literally be almost the definitive game for me, it would be my GOTY for that year.
>>258387540
Only in the third game anon
>>258388907
They should also add the "Go Here!" function for Pikmin 2 if they do that. So Louie or the President aren't dead weight or just an extra health bar outside of a few situations.
>>258383420
>mfw getting platinums with my sister>tfw can't get them on my own
>>258385006
Purple Pikmin were already nerfed a bit, since they no longer stun enemies when thrown.I think.
>>258387847
>I dislike how easy everything is
Are you a master at Pikmin, anon? Have you beaten the game getting all the fruit in 10 days without losing Pikmin?
>>258391472
They should give you controls of the three captains.
Pikmin 4 ideas.
Space Pirates that also use Pikmin.
>>258393515
We neednight timegameplay
>>258393515
Everyone on Hocotate learns that PNF-404 is full of treasure, you have to compete with them to collect enough treasure. Story mode is a combination of Pikmin 2 and 3, Mission Mode is you battling against other computer-controlled Pikmin captains over the treasure in the area.
>>258393861
That'd be fun and terrifying. Imagine an open area entirely filled with Spotty Bulbear and their minions.
What was the music like in Pikmin 3?
I really liked the songs in the previous games, cave music in Pikmin 2 was always cool and also this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTTBDy24it8
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekjouCo9CVo
>>258393951
And the ending is the economy of Hocotate collapsing.
>>258394307
Pretty relaxing when it needs to be.
And it can also get pretty damn serious.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T35djY8HnIU
Why haven't you beat Mission Mode yet /v/?
>>258394307
Pikmin 3's ost was ok, nothing really standout.
Pikmin 1 has the best music of the series.

Fucking fortress of festivity though.
>>258394720
Fortress of Festivity is one of the most fun ones the complete.
I loved it but I burnt myself out quickly since I did 4 playthoughs in a row since I got it.
>>258394846
I know. It's frustrating but it's fun. I'm just not that good at managing.
What I've never figured out is how Ai no Uta, a song made specifically for the game that makes no sense out of context of the game, managed to sell more copies as a single than the actual game did.
I just wish it played more like Pikmin 2 and that whites and purples were relevant...
>>258393951
Wouldn't the Pikmin have a bias towards helping Olimar more then anyone else so he could just whistle them all over if he bumps into another captain?
>>258384532
>That fucking pizza
How?
>>258395014
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-T-QHAkDf-8
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKz0DfJ0TJM
where were you when Pikmin was feels
>>258395074
Whites and purples are crucial in most missions. In battle enemies, you canfeed whites to kill bulborbs faster.
Pikmin 3 improved a lot of things but took away a LOT of what made the series great.
Louie did nothing wrong.
>>258395319
Let's just say the Pikmin attach to whatever group of leaders finds them first.
>>258395014
That situation kinda reminds me of end of evangelion
>>258385047
Purples can be used to kill fiery bulblaxes and destroy fire geysers
>>258395478
Other than be the sole cause of the second game.
>>258394720
When you see the lime by the nearest wall/pool, throw two captains up there and then throw one of them to the group of purples, getting the purples early saves you so much time since they can carry any fruit other then bananas by selves.
Also when you get the flying Pikmin, use them to gather the two nearest gold piles before you use them to open the gate.
>>258395478
Yeah, Louie did nothing wrong when he let his hunger get the better of him and nearly ruin his company's well being.
>dat final level
>dat final boss
i was seriously not expecting that. That shit was really fun.
>Descending down the inside of a tree stump while being chased by the boss, while escorting olimar and solving puzzles
>dat final showdown
>dat hinting at pikmin 4 with another rocket crash landing while the other captains take off
>>258395851
Don't forget that he snuck off the ship again at the end of the Pikmin 3. Read the ship log when you beat the game.
> that part where Louie jacks all your juice and you gotta scrounge up as much fruit as you can to replenish your stock
When the plot was hinting that something bad had happened to Olimar, I was actually expecting the big reveal to have Olimar be in Pikmin-Olimar form. It would've been one hell of a twist, and a pretty ballsy move from Nintendo
>tfw Hocotate Ship is dead
Goodnight, sweet prince
>>258395473
Nah.
>>258396183
there's literally fruit on the way to the boss where louie is, it ain't that bad man, just get the one kiwi by the berry plant and crab and the fruit in the rock by the crab and it'll be ok
>>258396183
I tried to do a boss-fruit only run, and I would be able to do it if were not for that part. I just can't get the blues, open the path to the mireclops, then fight and beat it, and finally carry its fruit and Louie back to the ship all in one day.
>>258396393
I know it was easy but it was still tense
Also that giant moss covered SOTC like boss was awesome

Not a single casualty. Fuck you Mireclops.
Once you play the game a single time the bosses are real easy to 0 death. Wish more bosses had minions like the Pleseoth had.
>>258396385
>most enemies are absent

I love Pikmin 3, but there's a reason I've only played through it twicealso that fucking juice strains so slowly holy shit the framerate even drops
>>258396575
fuck that guy, I lost so many pikmin because the captains get knocked down for like 5 fucking seconds in this game
Second playthrough massacre was very satisfying though
>>258396575
I beat the Scornet Maestro my first time with no casualties. Fuck that was a fun fight.
I like how subtly dark these games are. Fucking Louie.
Question
Does Pikmin3 plays anything like the pikmin minigame in Nintendoland, like, at all? Because I fucking hated the Nintendoland minigame, and the controls were infuriating
>>258396575
He can be cheesed extremely easily with winged pikmin.
Like, the first time he falls after attacking his foot he's dead.
>>258381410
I never beat the first one when I was 17 years old.
You will never understand my anger and frustration.
I am now 23 and only own a shitty laptop.
>>258396575
That was the first Pikmin boss that took me two days. I didn't bring any rock Pikmin because I couldn't handle them drowning all the time.
All I had were Pinks and Blues and boy are those dudes weak
>>258393515
Underwater levels.
just imagine these screams
>>258396508
Try doing earlier bosses in only one day to stock up on juice. The Mireclops is the most bullshit to do in one day, but the others are actually doable.
>>258396907
>The water wraith appears every time
>No Purples.
I actually thought it was the weakest Pikmin yet. I didn't really enjoy the maps and some of the fruit relied on using the wiimote, and since I was using the pad it became tough as shit.
I think the time/stress element quickly became less overbearing after about 5 days and then you stockpiled fruit like no ones business. Pikmin 1 balanced it nicely in comparison.
The last boss was a pain in the dick and honestly I hated that whole level.dune boss and crystal catepillar were the best bosses tho
>>258396765
> no dungeons
In return the overworld is better designed and has nore varied terrain
>>258396921
Didn't Nintendo patch the glitch that lets you gets Pink Pikmin instantly? How do you get to that bee motherfucker without it?
>>258397097
Welp, I forgot about that Scornet faggot. Okay, that's another one that must be done in 2 days, then.
...doesn't sound as easy anymore.
>>258397024
I used the gamepad for the whole game. No problem at all. I actually prefer it to wiimote since I have a much better camera control and quicker map access.
>>258397024
>some fruit relied on using the wiimote
Wut
>>258397024
>some of the fruit relied on using the wiimote
What? I only used the gamepad and didn't have trouble getting any of the fruit.Except that one hanging from a branch in Tropical Wilds after the rising blocks puzzle.
>>258397369
I am referring to >>258397415 because fuck throwing shit up that little hole.
>>258396921
I can do all of the other bosses just fine, but the issue is Louie takes all of your juice so it doesn't matter what your stockpile is. You also can't leave the area right away to get any boss fruit you might have left behind in other areas because you have no juice for the night. I suppose I could leave the crawmad's fruit behind and grab it right away after Louie's thievery, but then that means I only get one day each for the crawmad and the phosbat, as that's as far as the beginning juice will go. I'm just not that good.
>>258397560
I ended up swarming it with pinks but I had to go all the way back up again.
>>258396826
anyone?
Did anyone tried the new touch controls?
>>258397609
I'm not that good, either, but the crawmad and phosbats are the ones that I had in mind when I said they were the most accessible to do in one day. It takes a little patience and practice but they're definitely doable. I haven't seen any 2.0 speedruns yet, I should look some up.
>>258396826
>>258397897
it plays nothing like that
>>258396826
It's nothing like it.
>>258397897
Sorry, I've never played Nintendo Land so I don't really know.
>>258398024
Yeah, they're better than the old gamepad controls, but I still prefer Wiimote
>>258398024
They're pretty good, just as long as your playing screen is the gamepad and not the television, otherwise you'll be blindly tapping.
>>258397897
Not really. It's much more complex and multitasking, while in NL is basically touch the enemies until they die.
The controls are different since you move both the captain and the pointer, but I didn't have a problem with NL iN the first place.
Game is amazing, go for it.

>>258397024
Pikmin 3 is the best one because not only are the mechanics the most polished, but because it's entirely about self imposed challenge. You can play it as casually as you want, which in your case seems to be very much so.
>>258402527
I'm pretty sure the Wraith can't go into water so drop Olimar there and it can't do shit while you build a path.
>>258402527
Make Brittany run around in circles while you build your path. You never actually need 3 captains. This way you can take one day to build the path, get Olimar out and return the next day to fight the wraith.
did you know zoe quinn (developer of depression quest) chatead on her BF with five guys? and then her BF posted all of the info on his tumblr?
Did you know that if you make a thread about this in /pol/ or /v/ it gets deleted?

That's why after I beat a boss I always leave one captain in the area.
Who all platinum medals here on fruit collection?
This shit is so addictive.
I got in this series thanks to Dolphin emulator and I was pretty much blown away from Pikmin, finished it in 26 days and losing like 50% of my Pikmin ever sprouted on first playthrough and did a second one immediactly after and finished in 16 days losing about 10% of my Pikmin.
Now I'm playing 2 and dungeons and more types of Pikmins are ton of fun, but I sorta miss 1's atmosphere and sense of impendent time limit and I liked the above ground areas a bit more. I guess I'll buy a WiiU+Pikmin 3 eventually to thanks Shiggy.
Also, am I supposed to be losing a ton of Pikmin on dungeon bosses? Man-at-Legs killed of like 50 of my Pikmin and the Mother Bulblax with the bulborb larvas killed like 70, mostly with the larvas, and I had the exactly 15 Pikmins required to get the treasure, 12 of which were Bulbmins.
>>258403042
that's basically what i did though
never said it was hard, i said it was annoying and tiresome, i just didn't enjoy it
i love everything else about the game though, and the bossfight itself was pretty aight, but the whole escort thing was just poopy
>>258402729
Oh cool, i didn't know that, i just started a new run so i'll try that once i get to the last boss again
>>258398513

>>258403180
I'm 5/7 on the ones that are free. I'll get the DLC ones... someday. Battle Enemies, though, that's a whole 'nother story.
>>258403558
Pikmin games will always kick your ass on the first playthrough. Feel free to restart as much as you want to minimize losses, since dungeons have an autosave feature.
>>258404997
No, it doesn't. It goes by really quickly. You're an idiot.
>>258403180
I'm nowhere close. I think I've only played the first two missions. Right now, I'm playing through the main game a second time. I didn't grab all the fruit the first time, and would like to see how I do now that I'm somewhat familiar with the maps.
>>258406294
I JUST got a platinum medal on the third Enemy stage. They're a lot harder than the Fruit ones because you actually have to be there to oversee the fight, usually. Once you bolster the pikmin numbers you can usually just have them swarm an enemy and then switch to another captain.
>>258406798
I still think it's unfair as fuck to have a fucking baldy long legs in the FIRST mission ROAMING THE ENTIRE MAP.

I got so much use out of Pikmin 3. Easily my most worthwhile Wii U game. Downloaded all the DLC and played 'em all to death, though I find it impossible to get all the platnium medals.
Mind you, I'm really hoping Conduit 3 or The Grinder haven't been cancelled. make an appearance soon. The console is so starved for a good new FPS, it's getting really annoying.

>>258407224
Yes. Well, it's one way. Get the Yellow pikmin to carry the bombs, then toss them up on a ledge as the long legs passes by, and it'll deal tons of damage to it and get rid of the hair, then just spam yellow pikmin at the head till it ded.
Bulborbs are relatively easy to kill with a swarm of like, 20-30 red pikmin.
>>258407505
Ah, I haven't played much of Mission mode. I need that DLC
>>258407623
The free ones are pretty decent, too.
>>258407557
But The Conduits were both bad, extremely derivative FPS's.
>>258407589
Thanks. I'll try that next time. This one is bald, though, it doesn't have hair.
>>258403180
This was the most fun part of the game for me. The DLC levels were awesome, too.
Are rock pikmin completely useless against dirt walls?
>>258407732
COnduit 2 was good, and amusing.
The Grinder looked great.

Do want!
>>258408026
Almost. If you let them work it long enough it'll eventually come down.
Eventually...
I wonder if Bulborbs would make good pets.
>>258408168
I figured as much. That's good to know, though, for day 2.
>>258408310
There is already something kind of like that on Hocotate. Oimar's family has a pet thing

>>258408729
I actually didn't have many, if any, pikmin drown against that boss. Mainly because I had a bunch of blues (since I used them to get to that point) and once I saw the area, just went in with blue and stone pikmin. I switched over to a full blue set on the next day, too.
I had a lot of pikmin get eaten by the tongue, though.
>>258408729
This is a Wii U game... Whoa...
>>258409496
This is a shit post...
Woah...

If you do that then it will pursue your active captain not in water, but that's admittedly a bit easier to manage.
>>258387824
How the fuck do you play rail shooters?
>>258409660
It doesn't go after captains, it goes after Olimar.

>>258409945
No, I saw it happen my first playthrough. I had Brittany and Olimar stand in the pool of water while I had Alph and Charlie split up and do their business. Since it can't go into water and get Olimar, it would come after whoever I was in control of. I specially had to switch to one captain to bait it away from another captain in order to open a safe path. It reminded me a lot of the bloyster boss in 2.
>>258403180
I got all the free/in-game map platinum s but not the DOC maps.
Is the Olimar mission pack worth it if I don't care about the battling enemy maps?
>>258410803
Yes.
>>258387678
my nigga. I just got Pikmin, and i'm getting subzero dong as soon as i can.
Also if you want a damn hard survival game. zombi u is decent.
>>258381410
I wish there was a bundle with Pimin 3.
Smash and Pikmin 3 are the reasons I want a Wii U. Mario Kart is fun too but fuck that, any way to get it with Pikmin 3? Cant find a bundle.
>>258410021
I just used 99 red pikmin and 1 rock pikmin to break the crystal and bum rushed the fuck out of it. Get on my level.
>>258411470
You should've bought the MK8 bundle and got Pikmin 3 as your free game.
If you are in the U.S./Canada, look up a refurbished bundle from the Nintendo website and just buy Pikmin 3 as well. Under $300 even with additional cables and controller.
>>258394492

Why
>>258410021
I did this. But Had 40 Rock and 60 Blues. The captains were on rotation going back to the onion to pick up more blues towards the end.
>>258411470
You could've gotten for free with Mario Kart 8 you fucking pleboid!
>pikmin 3 is my first pikmin
>at the final boss, day31
how bad is this?
This is way to short I was able to do a no Pikmin death 100% fruit run in 2 days. That being said it's one of the most amazing games I've played this generation and I wish I had a little Brittany I could carry around with my in my pocket.
>>258412530
I think it took me something like 32 days to beat the game in my first run. That doesn't seem too bad, especially if you weren't used to managing pikmin from the previous games.
You aren't a true captain until you platinum'd all the mission's
pic related my platinums
>>258411470
I would've preferred it if it was just a bird shitting itself this is practically fucking bestiality.
>>258413104
I ain't paying for on disc dlc.
Does Olimar get his lovely Dolphin back in Pikmin 3?
>>258396183
>Grab every fruit I can grab, thinking the faster I get my stockpile up the better
>That happens
>No fruit anywhere to fall back on
>Panic mode
for some reason whenever I start getting to the missions where I have to split up my team I become so hopeless trying to figure out what pikmin/how many to send with each person.
I feel like I'll mess up and get too many pikmin killed and I can't deal with that.
help! Maybe I should play with a guide?
>Lovely graphics
>Map on gamepad is win
>Let's talk about how awesome x game is
God fucking damn it why is it getting so bad
>>258414495
Well, I will say that you do find the Dolphin in Pikmin 3. Or at least a similar ship; not sure if it was specificall the Dolphin.
>>258414931
>help!
Why are you splitting up your team when going into an unfamiliar part of the map?
I generally just grab 15 of each type, and march off with everyone. If there is something I want another person to do, then it's usually something that I'm familiar with and so I'll grab the pikmin required for that job. Mostly this is just gathering berries for the pikmin-boosting juices, and so five pikmin with someone to watch them is usually just fine.
I play this game off screen on the gamepad using gamepad controls, touchscreen etc.
it's the best experience
it hurts to watch pikmin die
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hS8bJbLNnBI
>>258417380
That's just horrible
>>258417380
I always hate it when I misplan something and a large number of pikmin die. I'm not quite sure which is worse: accidentally drowning a bunch because they carried something into the water, or just something stupid like having them walk into fire. Or just loosing track of which pikmin I have and accidentally pitching the wrong ones at an enemy: typically because I ran out of reds against a fire enemy, ran out of blues when trying to hit something over the water, etc.
And then, there is assuming a route is clear when an enemy has respawned in it. "Oh, those pikmin should be fine! I'll just let them walk back safely and take care of this... what do you mean pikmin are dying?!"
Beat only Pikmin 1. This is much better by far. It feels tighter and it's 100% comfier. I was really impressed considering the first trailers didn't make the graphics look too hot.
I could just go in fps mode and take snapshots all day. Bingo battles are always fun as hell with the boulder items. Also, best looking fruit in vidya period.

>>258384740
You forgot
>no c-stick controls
>no piklopedia
>short as hell
I really wish this game had dungeons and c-stick swarming. Tapping the dismiss button to get them to all attack is nowhere near as effective since it requires me to be right next to an enemy
>>258421797
>>258421909
You can lock onto an enemy, then press B.
But I agree. The c-stick controls were great, and I am very much disappointed in losing them in Pikmin 3. They were very good for swarming, for getting pikmin out of the way of something, and for in general moving around easily. I can't count the number of times I've been running around an enemy, and just been frustrated because my large group of pikmin just keeps trailing behind me and standing in the way of an attack.
Other than that, I didn't much like the caves and so I don't mind them being gone.

It's not. It came out a while after the game was out. The team kept working on levels after the game launched.

4 might have c-stick controls again. Maybe the team from 3 just don't have the same technology Olimar did. I'm sure Nintendo is smart enough to realize it's more useful than a camera stick.

Lets compare how Pikmin 2 was shit compared to Pikmin 1
>no time limit because wahh I feel pressured
>no challenge
>cut and paste dungeons with horrible aesthetics
>no more interesting captain's logs
>unbalanced af pikmin
>introduction of comedic relief character
>>258434206
Different strokes, man.
>horrible aesthetics
Choke on 100 white pikmin.
>>258434206
Don't forget the premise of the story was less interesting as well. In Pikmin 1 you had crashed landed and were fighting for your own survival while in Pikmin 2 you were scavenging for money to save your company because of Louie. While I understand that Louie is supposed to be at least partially unlikable, that doesn't change the fact that the story suffered from it. At least Pikmin 3's story had an element of mystery to it.
>>258434206
>no time limit
what are you talking, it has day/night cycle
>no challenge
it's a lot more challenging, the variety of different enemies, the really hard caves
>captains logs
pretty sure there are, but we also get something better piklopedia
>unbalanced
maybe
>fun
good
Which Pikmin was it that had the robots? That shit was unacceptable.
>>258434551
Dont get me wrong, I like all 3 of the Pikmin games and I like that they have variety. I just hate how people hold Pikmin 2 as their standard for Pikmin games.
>>258417380
Who would be stupid enough to have all their Pikmin die like that?*resets Wii U*
Like seriously how can you even let that happen?No one has to know...U-uh I mean they never died if it never happened...r-right?I'm sorry...
>>258434206
Let's compare why 2 is the best of the 3.
>Piklopedia
>Treasure hoard
>2 sets of journals for both
>most content in general, loads of bosses
>best challenge mode with a good difficulty curve and lots of levels
>this motherfucker
>>258435120
next pikmin better auto save as soon as a pikmin dies, to prevent resets
>>258435257
This turns me on.
>>258435257
>turning off the game without saving erases all your pikmin
>>258434973
2 had the gatling groinks (mortar shooting frogs that can and will revive themselves if you don't destroy the corpse) and the man-at-legs.(mechanical spider). Also I guess the titan dweevil which was covered in robotic armor/weapons.
