Item Description

The planet Koppai is running out of food, and the three explorers sent to save it, Alph, Brittany and Captain Charlie, crash-land on a lush, overgrown world with a cargo hold that badly needs filling. Pikmin 3 brought Shigeru Miyamoto's real-time strategy series back nearly a decade after Pikmin 2, and it is one of the most beautiful games the Wii U ever produced. Grass blades tower over the screen, water ripples across shallow pools, and the giant fruit you are hunting looks good enough to eat, which matters, because every piece you carry back to the ship is juiced to feed the crew for another day.

That daily ration is the heartbeat of the game. Each sunrise is a planning puzzle: how many Pikmin to grow, which paths to clear, which fruit to haul home before dusk sends you back into orbit. Red, Yellow and Blue Pikmin return alongside two new types, rock-hard Rock Pikmin that shatter crystal and Winged Pikmin that carry treasure over obstacles, and the three captains can split up and work different parts of the map at once. Tossing one captain onto a ledge to scout while another leads a squad into battle is where Pikmin 3 feels most like strategy, and the satisfaction of a perfectly coordinated day is hard to match.

The Wii U version is built around its controls. The GamePad doubles as the KopPad, an in-world tablet with a live map for directing captains, while the Wii Remote and Nunchuk give pinpoint pointer aiming for every throw. Areas such as the Tropical Wilds, Garden of Hope, Distant Tundra and Twilight River each hide towering boss creatures, and a couple of familiar faces from the earlier games turn up in the story. Beyond the campaign, Mission mode offers score-attack challenges for one or two players, and Bingo Battle pits two players against each other on a split screen, racing to fill bingo cards of fruit and creatures first.

Nintendo later brought the game to Switch as Pikmin 3 Deluxe, but the Wii U original is where it debuted, with the KopPad map living on the controller in your hands rather than tucked into a menu. Patient players who love watching a plan come together will find the series at its prettiest and most tactical here, and it sits naturally beside the GameCube originals on a Nintendo shelf.
