![]() ![]() Plus, there are myriad types of Pikmin to "collect," if that's the right word. Odds are you won't run out of Pikmin, so long as you don't simply toss them to the slaughter on a regular basis. Here you have as many days as you need to complete your journey, but each day blows by at an occasionally startling clip, and running out of juice is a concern you must be mindful of. Pikmin had that hard-stop limit of 30 days to gather all your ship parts and escape the planet, while Pikmin 2 went fully in the other direction, creating a somewhat breezy, if occasionally listless experience. ![]() This is one of the better ways that Pikmin 3 strikes a balance between the designs of the previous games. A jar's worth of juice is used each day, so collecting fruit to distill into drinkable stores is vital to your survival. Any Pikmin left straggling behind are mercilessly devoured by the aforementioned predators, and if you fail to grab fruit, you'll start draining your ship's stores of sustenance. Pikmin 3 is broken out into different days, and at the end of each day, you and your Pikmin must retreat back to your landing site to avoid any nocturnal predators. The main objects you'll be looking for are various fruits, the object of your mission and also your key to survival. Initially, you'll have just a few at your disposal, but it won't be long before you're commanding large swarms to break down walls, attack killer creatures, and haul both their carcasses and other found objects back to your ship for absorption/study. Expectedly, they crash land and end up separated, but as the game rolls along, you'll eventually reunite them and end up controlling each of the crew members in concert.Īnd you'll control those adorably, vacantly helpful Pikmin too. Pikmin 3 takes place some time after the previous games, and instead tells the tales of three new explorers named Alph, Brittany, and Charlie, who have come to the Pikmin homeworld in search of a new food source for their ailing planet. One thing notably different from previous Pikmins is the absence of previous protagonist Captain Olimar. More captains, more Pikmin, more of everything, really. Pikmin 3 is exactly what you think it is, and that should be just fine for any fan of this series. It takes elements from both its predecessors, tweaks some concepts and ideas, adds a few new flavors of Pikmin, and boosts the visual fidelity to expected degrees of quality. Instead, the time spent crafting Pikmin 3 for Nintendo's Wii U console has resulted in a game that feels almost exactly like what a modern Pikmin game ought to feel like. Those years of nonexistence haven't led to some radical shift in style, mechanics, or even progression, mind you. Nine years after its last sequel, Pikmin 3 ably reminds us why fans of this unique strategy/action hybrid still have such fond feelings for the franchise. ![]()
