Current Events > I've been busy with Pikmin 3 Deluxe. Some more opinions on 3 Deluxe.

(+) Yeah! (+)

I've been having a lot of fun with this game. I think the free DLC content is of pretty high quality, with tons of quantity as well. The five original levels (I mean, not based on previous layouts) have clearly had plenty of effort go into them, with excellent graphics and some interesting gameplay. The difficulty is daunting. I used to find other parts of the standard version really hard, but this might be even tougher. I've only briefly played the campaign, but it seems identical to before, if you play on Hard Mode. The controls are basically alright, but there are some real problems with the characters' movements stalling. This never happened in the Wii U version. I haven't played on the highest difficulty for the main mode, or tried the side missions.

Have you been playing this?

I'll pick this up on Monday when I'm paid. Looking forward to my first pikmin game.

To be fair, this is probably the single best Switch game so far. The Wii U version was really excellent, and this is possibly even better.

The controls are awkward, though.

My classes started up so I havent had much game time. Ill definitely get this at some point, but Im really in no rush because I have the original version.

I thought the controls were fine in the demo. I didn't get used to pointer controls or anything from a previous game and imo it feels fine. And if they are worse, i already know the normal difficulty is relaxed anyway.
