Seems like it hasn't attracted much buzz, but It's available now, my copy arrived today. I own it on Wii U already, but i love this game so I was happy to double dip. Just done the first two missions, great game is still great. Anyone else?

Played the demo, really enjoyed it, just have to convince myself that I should spend 90 bucks on it now.
Pikmin is highly underrated, but i guess im now part of the problem haha. Played it on Wiiu , loved it and wont rebuy it for Switch. November/begin December are expensive enough
It's 720p docked, 540p handheld, all 30fps, for full price. Take a guess.

but this isn't an OT, it's a "the game is out with no threads" thread
very different
I was gonna say Era is really sleeping on OTs lately with SMB35 and Mario Kart Live having to be made on the spot, but good to hear someone actually cares about Pikmin lol

Been playing in handheld. Game looks beautiful to me. Love the art style.

This thread will age poorely when first sales come out I bet. I have a feeling it will end up being the best selling Pikmin game.
People are too busy playing it to post on ERA. It will sell millions and guarantee a healthy future for the franchise!
I bought Pikmin 3 on Wii U for like $12 just before the switch came out and I never got around to it. I have no problem purchasing it again to have it on the switch.
The game is charming, full of content and there's literally nothing else like it. Resolution and framerate haven't been bumped in favor of a split-screen co-op mode. You can now play the entire campaign in split screen.
Could it be better? Sure. But it's not the lazy port people make it out to be. There are also other changes and additions compared to the original including a much requested Piklopedia, a small side story concerning Olimar and Louie and significantly rebalanced gameplay. Not to mention all DLC of course.
It's a shame the discussion around this game basically revolves around its price, resolution and metacritic store. I mean I get it, but Pikmin is up there with Earthbound for me in charm and quirkiness and it's just a bummer to see the discussion be so cynical and grounded.
I guess I should have played it back in 2013 lol.

Omg I forgot about this.
For real though the full price tag and no upgrade path is classic Nintendo, but the same Nintendo I'm consistently disappointed in.
Late port of Pikmin 3 is peak 20€=sure, 60€=nope title.
So knowing Nintendo I'll prolly never pick it up.

Probably wouldn't even get such good reviews if it was called Bikmin.
Dikmin, though? 10 out of 10, masterpiece.

Dikmin is a respected franchise originating on the Intellivision
Not many people know this but it was modeled after the Dikman family which is like old old money and they basically have the game reviewer industry in a stranglehold. That's why everyone is too scared to talk about the ruinous issues in these games.
one has to be careful and use code-words like "dikman" and "dikmin" even tho the original name has been scrubbed from history
hiding in plane sight, like any proper conglomerate
It's a good game but definitely the worst Pikmin (even though I'll almost definitely play it again....lol). It's way more interested in 'quality of life improvements' and 'run optimization' and big cutscene introductions for events and creatures rather than the genuine mystery and discovery and surprise of the first two games. The final stage/boss is miserable and probably the lowest point of all three games. Bingo Battle is the absolute best side content they've done though.
Would've been way more psyched about a rerelease of 1 or 2, or (inconceivably I'm sure) a full-series collection

Oh yes, this reminds me - no online modes in 2020, especially now, is also a sad joke. But it's Nintendo so we understand it must be hard to implement or something and it's okay.
Remember when people thought Xenoblade DE was sent to die?
Resetera bubble. It will sell fine.
I'm super tempted to double dip on it, just having trouble justifying the price, particularly when I still have my WiiU hooked up. I really loved the original version though.
Already have it on Wii U. Absolutely adored the atmosphere, but just kind of lost interest in the game 5 hours in. Thought the story and gameplay was mostly predictable or spinning its wheels. Won't be buying it again for Switch. I'll try the next installment though, because I do think it has a lot of potential.
Wait so they literally did nothing to improve it for the Switch?
Fuck that, they are not getting any money from me.
I don't think it has to do with res and fps. Price is big factor sure. At least it's nice knowing Nintendo can't always sell millions of full price ports.
I'm just about to go pick it up. Never saw any info about the multiplayer (bingo battle, not the coop), like if there are any changes at all, if you can play in any different way other than just split screen, also where is the map when you play split screen etc. Hoping to figure some of those things out for myself in a bit.
Edit: also I bought the Wii U version digitally when there was a pricing error on Nintendo Shop, for like 9 GBP, so I'll just consider this full price thing to be a late payment with a side of a second version... or something

No one's trying to excuse the lack of online, or any other shortcoming for that matter. Some people just love Pikmin for what it is: an extremely unique and charming game that's a lot of fun to play. Is it ok to award points for being fun?
