FINALLY managed to get my hands on a copy of Pikmin 3 this past weekend. Seriously, this has to be one of the most hard-to-find games on the Wii U. I placed an order with Amazon at the beginning of July, the stock was supposed to replenished at the beginning of August, but it was never dispatched.
When starting Pikmin 3 it's easy to see why the game is so desirable. It's easily the most beautiful looking game on Wii U with the Pikmin universe leaping from your television screen in gorgeous high-definition splendour.
This time we journey to the Pikmin world with 3 brave adventurers from planet Koppai, a fruit-mad society that's running short of grub, so they travel to the world of the Pikmin to see if they can russle up something for lunch. Upon arriving however, their ship malfunctions and our 3 explorers end being scattered across the planet. Isolated from one another they must enlist the help of the Pikmin in order to reunite and press on with their mission to restore Koppai's food supply.
There's a slight learning curve when using the gamepad to control your Pikmin, but I've now been playing for about 20 in-game days and I think I've got the hang of it. It's proven to be an invaluable device as it helps immerse you in the Pikmin universe by offering a real-time map, data log and acting as a communication device between characters.
Pikmin 3 is probably my number one game on Wii U at the moment; I've become so addicted to it this post nearly didn't materialise. It's a must have for Wii U owners, and for those that don't know whether to pick up a Wii U, give Pikmin 3 a try because you might just change your mind.
