Pikmin 3
« on: August 14, 2013, 02:02:57 AM »
Did anyone else buy Pikmin 3? I bought it about a week ago and just "finished" it. Very cool game, I like how alive the world feels with all the creatures, weather patterns, etc. One thing I miss however was finding cool objects like a Famicom or Gameboy like in past Pikmin games, it's pretty much all fruit in Pikmin 3 although they all have the usual charming alien descriptions you've come to expect. An example being the name "Insect Condo" to describe an apple.

Apparently there's this big mystery going around the internet as to what exactly these secret files you find throughout the stages do, last I heard nobody had found them all but I have 6 so far and they seem to spell out a password of some sort. What exactly it's for I have no idea. Finishing the game with 100% fruit seemed to suggest there's more to the story, has anyone here had a jab at finding them?

I haven't finished it yet. But I've been playing it. I'm quite impressed.

I have sadly not played any of the Pikmin's.  Is it easy to pick up and play Pikmin 3 if I've never played the others?  I've always been fascinated with this game but for some reason never bothered to play it.

Yeah, like pretty much all modern games there's a fairly in depth tutorial to explain how to play.

What about story wise?  Will it not make much sense or is there really no story in these games?

The story isn't really continued much.

 Basically you're from a planet far far away and you're looking for natural resources since your planet's resources are dwindling you crash land on a planet and go from there. Nothing super important. There's a slight "eco-conservation" message here but it's fairly toned down.

Love it. Been playing it for the past couple of weeks, off and on. The puzzles are really well done and it takes a degree of creativity to get through each day.
Games I Need: Bonk 3 (HuCard), Legend of Hero Tonma, Magical Chase, Soldier Blade, Super Air Zonk.

Got one to sell? PM me!

I bought it yesterday, and it is my first Pikmin game. So far, it's fantastic, and makes me really happy that I own a Wii U.

I also like that you can "retry a day", in case you mess up really badly.

Also, a little off topic, what Wii U games is everybody looking forward too? I'm excited for Sonic Lost Worlds (loved Colors), DKCR: Tropical Freeze, and Bayonetta 2. Maybe also Cod: Ghosts? (it's getting the next-gen engine)

Wonderful 101 also caught my attention recently. :)

Maybe I have to pick this up based on the positive response.

I was going to make New Super Luigi and Mario 3D Land my next Wii U games, but I trust you guys.
