Pikmin 3 Deluxe Launches 10/30. Featuring multiple difficulty modes, new side-story missions featuring Olimar & Louie, and all the DLCs

Looks like a straight port visually :-/

Never got around to playing it though, so I'm definitely picking it up. Can't wait.

Yeah it's my wife's favorite game and she is going to be thrilled when I show her this trailer. Although you are right to me looks like they didn't do anything to up the visuals. I would assume though we will get 1080p docked 720p portable and that would be the only changes. It sucks though as that is almost November basically. That's a long ass wait.

 

[Mandos]

I mean it's a great game, and I didn't get any of the dlc last time. Heck I got it free last time even...

 

[DaveB]

I have this on Wii U but never finished it. I'm definitely game to pick this up and finally give it the attention it deserves.

 

[Floex]

"lazy" people should really stop using that word, especially considering that there's new content

For $60, it's lazy.

Sony re-releases at least were budget priced. I mean even Shadow of The colossus which was full remake was $49.

SotC was even cheaper than that ($40). I appreciate the budget price for their re-releases.

 

[JasoNsider]

This was criminally overlooked because it was on a cursed platform. It's an incredible game and the challenges on the side (as well as the multiplayer) were equally amazing. Honestly one of Nintendo's best games.

 

[Richietto]

I would be more pumped if we had some more new stuff to be excited for. Co-op story is probably the biggest highlight for me but Nintendo I'm gonna have to see some new software before the end of the year.

If you never played this game I highly recommend it. It was one of the best games released on the Wii U.

 

[G_Shumi]

Wonderful news! It is tempting even though I couldn't finish the final boss...

I'm also surprised Nintendo didn't want to port/remaster the first two games before Pikmin 3, but it's not like you need to play them beforehand anyway.

 

[Paperchampion23]

1 less game off the Wii U catalog. Now just need:

- Both Zelda's
- XBCX
- 3D World

This hopefully confirms the Mario 35th anniversary rumors (64, Sunshine, Galaxy 1/2 collection + 3D World) since Pikmin 3 Deluxe and Paper Mario were part of that Rumor Mill

 

[Gartooth]

Was this a $50 game on Wii U or was it $60? I'm just curious if this is another Tropical Freeze scenario where the port costs more than the original. lol

 

[MrSaturn99]

Seems to be one of the more interesting Wii U ports...

YES YES YES HOLY SHIT GIVE IT TO ME

 

[Tuck]

Such a good game. Highly recommended

I hate you Nintendo but YES! I can finally finish this game!

 

[Serenitynow]

I can't believe no new Nintendo first-party games until the end of October wth

I understand Covid, but Nintendo HAS to be sitting on multiple games

 

[ShinobiBk]

Ok seems like 2020 is just a miss for me in terms of Nintendo first party.
Covid must've really hit them hard

 

[VonGreckler]

The real question is, will joy-con gyro be able to recreate the wiimote pointer experience?
One of the few games that is objectively better with motion controls.

All main series games have been released on cursed consoles (as much as I enjoyed both) with ports to more popular ones. I just want a new mainline game to have a proper shot on a popular system.

i fucking LOVE pikmin!!! so excited!!!

 

[skysthelimit]

Hmm, I've never played Pikmin before. This seems to be well liked. Might have to give it a go!

Well considering that this will outsell the original like the others, is obvious that the majority disagrees

 

[Deleted member 70647]

I've never played this series. What's it like?

Click to shrink...

Amazing, please play it

 

[ArkhamFantasy]

Yeah, really weird cut trailer - just rewatched some WiiU trailers and it comes off much better over there.

How are they pretending that they are brand new games ? It literally called deluxe and they are mentioning whats been added compared to the OG release.

Click to shrink...

It's at the expense of Mario Kart 9, Pikmin 4, Tropical Freeze 2, etc.

 

[Tibarn]

"lazy" people should really stop using that word, especially considering that there's new content

Click to shrink...

I mean, they took a WiiU game with outdated textures (that IIRC were a consequence of an early Wii development), and released it again at full price without fixing them. If you prefer "limited", "partial improvement", or other phrasing it's fine, but from the trailer it's clear they didn't work that hard on the game re-release.

After playing XC:DE, all Nintendo 1st party remasters look worse and worse, for games like Mario Kart that looked good on the WiiU the resolution upgrade is enough, but Pikmin 3 needs new ground/terrain textures to look decent on 2020.

 

[bxsonic]

I just finally finished DKC on my Switch. Hmm, maybe it's time for another Wii U port.

 

[CaptainBojangles]

Shame that Pikmin and Pikmin 2 are going to continue to be annoying to get a hold of

 

[Cudpug]

As much as it's cool Wii U games are getting a second life on Switch, they have to be complementary to new experiences. I am quite surprised they haven't just made a Pikmin 4 after all these years.

 

[blund]

Day one. Put 500 odd hours into wiiU version, loved mission mode so much. Will do so again. Piklopedia a great addition.

 

[RingoGaSuki]

Oh fuck yeah. It's not Pikmin 2, but 3 was an amazing game nonetheless. All the DLC, extra missions and Piklopedia too? Hell yeah I'll go buy a pair of vouchers and throw one at this.

 

[Raigor]

60 bucks? No thanks lmfao

 

[Deleted member 10737]

game looks great but some of the environment textures needed to be touched up a little bit.

 

[Lord Azrael]

RIP the chance of a general direct in 2020

 

[cw_sasuke]

It's at the expense of Mario Kart 9, Pikmin 4, Tropical Freeze 2, etc.

Click to shrink...

No, not at all - unless you really think the resources used up for these ports prevents new installments in these series to happen.

 

[sanstesy]

Price is not optimal but if you like what you see, you should play it. The addition of the side-stories and Piklopedia makes sure I'll be getting this some day.

Uprgading the ground textures (which were outdated at release) won't suddenly make this version worth $60 - and it probably took more work developing new content than actually replacing some textures so saying "they didn't work that hard" is bullish. I take new content - new side-stories and Piklopedia - tenfold over some new upgraded textures.

 

[Vivian-Pogo]

Seems to be one of the more interesting Wii U ports...

Click to shrink...

It's a small thing, but I'm kind of shocked Nintendo used the word "killed" to describe the number of bulborbs defeated. Seems kind of off-brand for their E rated games.

(Pikmin 2's Piklopedia uses "Defeated")

 

[SuperFakerBros]

I do wish Nintendo would adopt budget prices for remasters but, fuck it, I might be in later down the road. One of the best games of 2013 and it was overlooked so hard because it was on Wii U

It's at the expense of Mario Kart 9, Pikmin 4, Tropical Freeze 2, etc.

Click to shrink...

Yeah, ports totally stop them from making new games /s

 

[Papaya]

I don't get why people think this means nothing else will release before this, there are no rules. I highly doubt Super Mario Party 2 doesn't come out in early October

NSMBU Deluxe is definitely worse since Funky doesn't get in the way of anything, he's just an extra option.

Click to shrink...

Forgot about that port. Was more thinking about how TF was 50 dollars brand new though...I dont remember NSMBU's proce tho.

Even though it's the third entry in the series, I guess this is the best shot it is has :)

Anybody who has not played the series or this game, be sure to give it a shot! It's some of Nintendo's best work.

 

[unicornKnight]

Need Xenoblade Chronicles X and Super Mario 3D World and that's it from Wii U, right?

Click to shrink...

If only AAA stuff count then yes, otherwise there are also a kirby game, nintendo land, star fox, color splash...

Both Pikmin 1 and Pikmin 2 New Play Control versions were released digitally on the Wii U

So if you don't mind them being digital and having a Wiimote control scheme, they're pretty easy to get

 

[Opposable]

I don't know why I'm surprised it's $60

 

[SwampBastard]

I haven't played Pikmin since the original. Very excited about this, even at full price.

 

[Kazer]

Well considering that this will outsell the original like the others, is obvious that the majority disagrees

Click to shrink...

More like the majority didn't play it since the Wii U sold like garbo lol. But yeah, this is guaranteed to outsell the Wii U version.

 

[foxuzamaki]

I can't belorve thid just randomly drops but then I remember that it was like this before directs

 

[Future Gazer]

For real, this should have been a Pikmin trilogy collection. For $60, it's the least they could fucking do.

 

[Streusel]

that Nintendo is charging 60€ for a port of a seven year old game (which was available as a Nintendo Selects) with pretty much no visual enhancements is pretty ridiculous. they could have at least improved texture resolution.
a higher difficulty mode and additional story content should improve the game a lot, these were my main criticisms about it.
won't buy it though.
