[@roshipower]

Pink Pikmin I find the absolute cutest thing ever created. I think every Pikmin type is absurdly cute but the Pink Pikmin just take it to the highest level

[@DesignDoc]

Ultra Spicy is very underwhelming. The only thing it makes noticeably more difficult is the fight against the Quaggled Mireclops due to the tighter drowning time limit. Elemental deaths in general are faster but there are not enough enemy types that take any real advantage of it and the extended whistle range makes it even less of a real problem. Pikmin 3's fundamental enemy design doesn't lend itself to a more interesting challenge due to how forgiving they are in general with them being slow to start attacking, there being too many ways to stun, and Pikmin kill limits that are way too reserved. This is most obvious with the mini-bosses. Another issue with the fundamental difficulty is that Pikmin walking speeds are also now unified when they follow you instead regardless if they're a leaf or a flower so your squad's hitbox is way smaller. Enemies weren't really tweaked to take this into account, making them even less capable of picking off stragglers. This is most obvious with the Scornet Maestro fight. Now the lower difficulty is great for getting newcomers into the series but c'mon Nintendo! Give me the option to let enemies be able to wipe out over a quarter of my squad if I'm not careful. Edit: Also Yellow Pikmin are probably the cutest, at least after the shorts came out.

[@ShyGuyXXL]

I propose making all hazards instant kill on ultra spicy. Even water. Because each element has a pikmin type that's immune to it. So why not?

[@captnwhatever]

There used to be pointer control on the Wii U, which were replaced by the gyro on the switch version. You can select gyro control in the menu to use it as a pointer. Some would argue that its not working really well. I find it good enough. The downside is that you always have to recalibrate the gyro by clicking on R, and so you lose a button to change your pikmin type.

Think of the good things of no online though, imagine having to fight a simple bulborb with super Mario maker 2 ping

[@lamegamertime]

That's only if you are playing with random people. In Pikmin you would most likely be playing with friends (playing with random people would get kind of toxic, they might keep ruining it). Sure, there's still the small possibility of high ping, but you can always just... Not play with friends online. It's not like you need to do it. After covid, it wouldn't be nearly as necessary to be online anyway. And if you really need to, you might be able to find a way to get a better connection.

Dude, co-op is great on this. Me and my wife have played almost everything in here together. It's too much fun.

[@jasonreed7522]

Ever since pikmin 2 i wanted coop campaign, but challenge mode and 2 player battle were great too. My brother and I played through everything in co-op, and our general rule was we each get half the pikmin which in ultra spicy means a cap of 30 each which really limits what you can do because sending 1 thing back significantly lowers your damage output making fights much deadlier. The only complaints i have are that battle bingo is kinda boring with just 2 people and that the main story is very linear for a pikmin game. (Easiest to measure by how much of the game is left after you get blues, in pikmin 1 you still have 1 entire area and most of the level you find them plus the minor revists. In pikmin 2 you still have most of Valley of repose, the perplexing pool, and wistful wild plus small parts of awakening wood. In contrast with pikmin 3 you get them and should have about 1 days work at each area if you don't just go straight to the final boss fight.) I don't have anything against linear games in general but pikmin is basically the best console RTS ever made so its weird that in pikmin 3 you are so limited in what order you can complete the game in.

[@jasonreed7522]

@@TheScripflipNetwork i took me seeing a video analysis on why pikmin was such a weird game at the time to realize that it was fundamentally an RTS, mainly because it doesn't play anything like a traditional RTS like starcraft. (Other things it mentioned was how many playstation and xbox games were going for dark and grey stuff like resident evil, and then pikmin has brightly colored pellets with numbers on them and other goofy stuff on a photorealistic map/level.) But up until seeing that video i considered pikmin to be its own class of games, something nothing else really matched, and its only now that i understand why its in a class of its own. Its a 3rd person console RTS collectathon, and originally it was single player, then it had multiplayer side modes (2 player battle is awesome in pikmin 2), and finally it has coop main story mode. (And i can't wait for pikmin 4 and whatever it brings)

We skip a lot of games because we don't have the funds for them, but this was a must have. Now I've replayed the entire game like 6 times, by myself and with my brother in co-op, and we've poured hours into getting as good of scores on the time challenges as we felt we were capable of. They were fun, but they were bite-sized Pikmin content we could play over and over. I love this game so much now, it's hard to believe I didn't care about Pikmin at all until Deluxe.

I hope they bring back the Bulbmin in Pikmin 4. Ultra-spicy mode's limitations only make one specific day more interesting... The day that you start with no juice about halfway through. It's still pretty easy to get enough juice back though... I think I had about 20 days of juice left when I beat the game in this mode.

[@jasonreed7522]

If you know that day is comming you can just not collect the fruit from the first boss. Collect the corpse and bring the fruit back to base but don't actually collect it. Sadly the boss corpse despawns after 2 days (so you can get it the next day only), this means you can't give it to the blues like i wanted to. The most impactful difficulty change is the reduced max field count, specifically when playing co-op because you then split the cap for a personal limit of 30, and that makes it harder to push separately as if you send something back you may only have 20 pikmin to fight with, and thats a recipe for losing more pikmin since its harder to rush down enemies and minibosses.

[@TtimeXP]

[@SantaFeSuperChief1]

The lack of an update in resolution probably comes from the co-op mode. The game has to render everything twice in co-op mode, so it couldn't handle higher visuals.

[@sorraks]

but many other nintendo games handle it with separate resolution / fps modes for single player and split screen

[@ActionJaxonH]

All games are different. Also, if you’re implying rendering twice doesn’t make a performance impact, I’m afraid you’re just wrong, no matter what other games have done. For the record though, even Mario Kart 8 cuts down framerate to 30 in 4 player.

Me who's only played the Pikmin 3 Deluxe demo seeing Pikmin walking underwater: Impossible.

[@AshoreNevermore]

You know what this game could have used? A single player bingo battle. Something to give you randomized challenges that doesn't rely on local co-op. Or maybe a New Game+ that lets you choose from a bunch of OPTIONAL rules. Eg.: Once cleared, [White/Purple/Both] Onion can be found in the Phosbat boss cave. Days are [x] minutes. Juice is cut by [fraction]. Enemies have [%] more health. Field limit is [x] Pikmin. Onions only carry [x] of each type. Winged Pikmin have 0.5 carry strength. Rock Pikmin can be pierced [y/n] or crushed [y/n]. Electricity is fatal. Pikmin burn/drown/suffocate faster. Key Items are twice as heavy. More difficult enemy layout. Spray deflowers Pikmin after it ends.

Ya know I have never had a hard time with the gyro function maybe I'm just dumb and don't notice

[@toadfanatic]

Something else worth noting is only partially tilting the control stick will move the cursor without moving the captain. The cursor can also extend past the range you normally can aim with while holding the control stick fully in a direction. Probably why the captains don't just nudge one way or another when only slightly holding the control stick

White is the cutest. The way they cough up poison during your introduction, they're just so cute. Not to mention they're the smallest

[@cookedghost]

Arlo, thank you from the bottom of my heart for convincing me to try this game out. Without you I probably wouldn't have given Pikmin much attention - and boy, how much charm and personality I would've missed. Sure, Pikmin 3 Deluxe isn't perfect, but it still only took me two in-game days to know I loved it to bits, and two real days to start blabbering about it to anybody who would listen. Now I'm hoping it performs well enough to convince Nintendo to give us 1&2 remastered or - dare I say it - the fabled Pikmin 4. Please Nintendo, I need my babies. They're adorable and bring so much joy and _the yellow ones are cutest_

[@11Legorex]

It’s enough to make a grown man cry.......... and that’s ok

[@gayathriponnamperuma9432]

Pikmin 3 deluxe is the best selling Pikmin game. So we might get the coveted Pikmin 4.

[@SoggySlopster]

Nothing beats pikmin 2 on the Wii tho. And pikmin 2 doesn’t have a time limit in the story mode like pikmin 3 does. You can’t even enjoy the atmosphere in pikmin 3

[@XShadOBabeX]

Hey Alro! Just started Pikmin 3 Deluxe this week! It’s really cute! I’m not sure I’ve got the fever, but I’m really glad I’m finally giving the series a shot, and I probably wouldn’t have if it wasn’t for you! So thank you!

[@sebsyoutubechannel4252]

Used to play the first Pikmin for the Gamecube back in the day, but this was my first Pikmin game I've picked up since then and I have to say it's so good! My only complaint is that I feel like I finished the main story mode pretty quickly even on my first try, only took a few hours. Although considering the amount of other content like side stories and mission mode there's still plenty of game left to be played after finishing the main story. Love the game so far!

[@oreganoCure]

Arlo got me into pikmin after having never played one of the games before. 3dx has been my first pikmin game, and I've gotta say... I really can't wait for 4.

[@11Legorex]

Same

[@dawsonmoss1356]

I really loved mission mode, especially with my brother. We've been playing it a lot and its a blast trying to get the platinum!

[@AverageJoeCinema]

Ah, this is the video I was awaiting eagerly from you. You’re my go-to pikmin opinion guy. I can now safely say I’ll be getting it!

[@ClassicPessi]

19:15 rock pikmin are literally just yoshi.

[@user-ge2es2bp2x]

Yellow pikmin are my favourite 100%, I just love how awkward and cute their character design is with those little e a r s

[@JOVAHK11N]

I feel like Normal is easy, Hard is Normal mode Ultra-Spicy is hard, and we needed an even Spicer dificulty. I'm still new to Pikmin 3 I think it's by far the best one in the series.

[@Missmay123p]

That actually is the difficulty, Hard is the normal WiiU difficulty while normal is a easier version

[@JOVAHK11N]

@@Missmay123p yeah, I know. But my coment is how it feels for me in particular havin played it in all modes.

[@chickennugget6684]

actually, hard is slightly easier, some new eggs are in locations they arent in the original

[@purplepikmin3533]

The game is way too forgiving.

[@JOVAHK11N]

@@chickennugget6684 but the HP is still doubled in Hard mode, I don't think a few eggs are enough to make significant difference.

[@starryfae]

as a series long fan, i love this remake, and especially the little additions, like the epilogue. the music on its own is just gorgeous.

[@teapottanuki5841]

Tiny yet murderous Best description of Arlo’s friends ever.

[@epicgamner1139]

hey arlo! Thanks to you, i got Pikmin 3 and i am loooooving it (well the demo really). I don't get the game til christmas but ive been playing and playing and PLAYING the demo over and over again! Thanks for making me addicted to another nintendo franchise.

[@masterharryl8561]

I played the demo and had sooo much fun I can’t wait to get it for Christmas

[@11Legorex]

It will be a very merry Christmas indeed

[@masterharryl8561]

@@11Legorex Yes indeed good sir

[@Fireheartl]

I'm so glad that I watched this video. I just got to your comment about how you can complete the levels even if you go beyond the time limit. Time limits in video games give me anxiety and it's prevented me from picking these games up because I know they work on a time limit system. Knowing that I can essentially ignore the time limit until I get better at each level has convinced me to pick this game up.

[@facilityhues]

I’m glad this review got out, I’m sorry for the stupid HUMANS flagging your review. Happy thanksgiving!

[@ExtraMaestro]

The demo for Pikmin 3 deluxe has fully made me love the series! I’m now playing 1&2 working my way up before buying 3 deluxe

[@itaystav6111]

This is gonna sound creepy but when Arlo talks about Pikmin I just wanna cuddle with him. Hey don't judge me!

[@jayman5234]

Yeah, that does sound creepy.

[@11Legorex]

Not the creepiest thing on the internet I suppose

[@lasercraft32]

Pikmin 3 is my comfort game (at least the main story... the challenge mode has the opposite effect). The music and the visuals are just so relaxing, and I don't even have a problem with the difficulty. Sure if I was in the mood for a challenge then maybe I'd want it to be harder, but as it is its a very chill and relaxing game for me. It helps that I hate it when Pikmin die, so having easier ways to avoid Pikmin deaths is nice.

[@jimmybob5541]

@thebiggestproblemdid you get it?

[@jimmybob5541]

@thebiggestproblem I’m sure you made the right choice. I just finished 3 as my first pikmin game, and while it’s a lot of fun, I really don’t think it’s worth full price like it is most of the time. I haven’t played the demo for 4 yet but the trailers make it look like all the previous games in one, and I’m hoping it’s a lot more expansive than 3, which has a short story and then two mission modes to supplement the run time. Also it runs at 720p 30fps, which is kinda ridiculous for a full price switch game. Don’t get me wrong though it’s definitely a great game worth buying on sale or used though.

[@BlueRyse]

I WAS WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO, FINALLY!

[@glasssawsslipperstraws7410]

i collected all fruit in the game and i never realized that call all pikmin back thing was a thing. Thanks arlo

[@dantellor1024]

Me neither!

[@thestopmotionchannel6980]

i never realized that too

[@slenderfoxx3797]

My problem with the difficulty settings is that the modes feel like this. Very easy mode Easy mode Kind of easy mode *And tedious mode* (ultra spicy mode which still has certain easy mode buffs such as speedy leaf Pikmin and a large whistle)

[@axc0mmt]

But, that is 4 modes

[@RavenStarMedia]

I've played and loved Pikmin 1 and 2, but never got 3 due to not owning a Wii U. So glad the Switch version seems to have a whole lot going for it, and I couldn't be happier that Co-Op was brought back. Great video as always, Arlo!

[@dbdn1825]

Score: 6 out of 7 idk

I stopped watching his news roundup videos but his reviews are very satisfying as always.

omg! dude u have no idea how confused i was when i downloaded the demon and was unable to move forward, i have a large deadzone on my left analog stick when i push it up and i thought the game was broken now i know why lol thanks

well you downloaded a demon i think that's why

[@11Legorex]

Rip your joy on my dude
