![]() This often means making tactical decisions about what to do each day. But each night, you’ll consume food, so you’ll also need to be bringing back enough fruit within the daily cycle to ensure your crew can be well fed. Your aim each day is to further explore the planet to continue your quest to get back home. Pikmin 3 has always been equal parts exploration, discovery, and strategy. That means no one has to sit out, and there’s no awkward silences or tantrums in the living room. Story beats don’t even lockout multiplayer either, so even if there was only meant to be one crew member available at a certain point in the story, two of you can still play, each controlling separate versions of that character. The screen is split vertically, and you each have free reign over your own camera too. Thankfully this isn’t asymmetrical multiplayer, like say Super Mario Galaxy, no, in Pikmin 3 Deluxe, you each control an independent crew member and you each have the same abilities at your disposal. As well as help from Pikmin, a fellow player can pick up a controller and join you in your quest for survival. The big change in the Deluxe version though is the introduction of a local multiplayer mode. You can command them to collect items and food, attack barriers, and even lay waste to dangerous monsters you’ll encounter along the way. You stumble across the indigenous Pikmin who follow you around and do your bidding unperturbed. They must find each other, food, and repair the ship to successfully return home. They crash-land on a planet they dub the catchy PNF-404 and are scattered across it. A crew of three adventurers have gone on an interstellar journey looking for a food supply that they can bring back to their starved planet. Thankfully that’s exactly what Nintendo has done again with Pikmin 3 Deluxe, and Switch owners should be very happy indeed.įor those who didn’t play the original Pikmin 3 on WiiU, the main story is largely unchanged. And what has made these Deluxe versions so successful in the past is they take a pretty stellar original and then add to it to make an irresistible, unmissable complete package. U Deluxe, and of course the amazing Mario Kart 8 Deluxe too. We’ve had the lovely New Super Mario Bros. I think the Switch is a better version, and for 40 dollars, I would probably say it's worth it over WiiU, but it's not like WiiU doesn't have it's own advantages, and being cheaper definitely is one of them.There have been a few “Deluxe” versions of WiiU titles that have come to Switch. If you buy the DLC for the WiiU version, then you're really looking at a 30 dollar eShop purchase, so half price of the Switch version. The difficulty modes in the Switch version are also kind of a mess, while the WiiU's difficulty is more fine tuned. Mind you, the WiiU was unwieldy by design, but 3 was clearly made for it. The Switch version's controls, however, are obviously not what the game was designed for, and can feel unwieldy at times. One day is less than half an hour (13 on WiiU, 18 on Switch), so it's not hard to make significant progress during a break, and when you have time to sit down and play a few days in a row, it's nice to put it on the TV. ![]() Additionally, Pikmin is overall a good fit for a console like the Switch. Personally, I like having the game on the switch, I like the piklopedia (though I miss the interactivity of 2's), I like the side stories well enough, and all DLC challenge stages come pre-bought.
