CGR Undertow - PIKMIN 3 review for Nintendo Wii U

[@Invader9Productions]

Pikmin is now my all time favorite video game trilogy

[@Relytia]

Derek, thanks for reviewing Rayman Legends and Pikmin 3. These past couple of days have been a real nice reminder of why I've always respected you as a reviewer and why you're one of my favorite game reviewers out there. Please keep this momentum for the rest of this year. The Wii-U is about to deliver a lot of awesome material for you. Pikmin 3 is a fantastic game. It shows software sells hardware. Wii-U sales have risen a lot since P3's release. Hope the Wii-U is about to become the next 3DS.

"You say Potato I say Star fox!" you sir, win 10 points for that one

[@MovieBuffGinna]

When Pikmin 3 was first shown, I was sold on saving up for a Wii U. I miss those little guys!

[@falcolombardi7962]

they didn't bring it back to make a huge profit on the game for it was never a HUGE seller. Nintnedo brought Pikmin back because we asked for it. Nintendo may not bring us a crappy title every month but they give us what we want and listen to the loyal fans. there will be another star fox launching in 2015 btw!

[@ghostschiphon]

too bad we've been asking for a better eshop and better vconsole games as well as GC games sooooo...... XD

[@Fyllis]

"you say potato, I say starfox" Derek, you're fucking awesome.

[@hero_in_deepblu]

My favorite game on the Wii U hands down. Possibly my favorite game ever.

[@ThePento5]

Wow I was waiting for this review to come out forever

[@jonsjoblom7033]

I like how these reviews don't focus on a score that distracts from the message of the review. A lot of times people don't even read or listen to the actual reviews and just look at the score.

[@Miumiu0404]

WiiU may have started rough and bad but great games are soon coming in to it.

[@KT-nl7rp]

He didn't exactly say it was...he was just pointing out that Derek wasn't referring to the wiiU

[@JT5ingh]

Same here, well not just for this game. But I bought it when I did to play this and because the Wii U was going really cheap on amazon.

[@MarxForever]

How is it I can agree with almost everything this guy as to say. And yet say it in such a way that it still manages to piss me off? Truly he has a gift.

[@WolfDeity]

the virtual boy was technically considered a handheld.

[@HenandezTech]

Deadlines....nothing has ever been more fightening

[@WebVManReturns]

To the people claiming the Virtual Boy wasn't Nintendo's worst selling console.... It wasn't exactly portable now was it?

[@gamecube64sega68]

I just bought Pikmin 3 yesterday for 9 dollars. Great game.

[@creativeusername6453]

i wonder if the release of pikmin 3 means there is hope for half life 3, viewtiful joe 3, sonic adventure 3, mega man legends 3, darksiders 3, portal 3, and the american release of mother 3

[@RemixerUltimate]

You see, and this is why I want a Wii U. This, Sonic Lost World, Nintendo Land, Smash Wii U, Mario 3d world.

[@amberremembered1989]

lol!! the virtual boy... oh god... its so easy to forget.

[@superepicprogamer98]

thank god you were joking xD its so much easier irl to tell if someone's being sarcastic than on the internet

[@thedoctorsassistant1]

will you review The Wonderful 101 thanks

[@hp123434]

I've seen better on the other consoles, but this is still a gorgeous game! And hey, in the end, graphics aren't all that matters, it's the gameplay, and that's where Nintendo shines.

[@benjaminweisel4982]

What a great review!!! I love this game, it's my favorite Wii U game (there isn't much competition other then New Super Luigi U, Nintendo Land, and now Rayman Legends). The game is fun, frantic, and very rewarding. I'm playing it through a second time within a month of buying it because its so great. I don't think I've done that with any other game:)

[@Megami_infini]

Have anyone noticed that 404 is PageNotFound error?

[@Intertayne]

I loved playing this game, but since it was the reason for which I bought the Wii U in the first place, I was disappointed by the length. I beat it in two days and I wasn't playing very long for either of those days.

[@TheDreadedZero]

Is it really that short? How many hours did it take?

[@Intertayne]

thedreadedzero Maybe 6 hours.

[@TheDreadedZero]

Intertayne Day-um

[@darkdagger955]

that all depends on when games ur comparing ive seen games that are better detailed on ps3 and xbox then pikmin 3

[@nintendude7cubed]

I tried getting into the pikmin series. I really do love the concept, but the game stressed me out too easily. And it was a type of stress that I feel all too often, that feeling that I haven't accomplished enough to meet deadlines and to be prepared. So for me personally, the game lost its appeal pretty quickly.

[@fireheartis1]

Man this game is horribly cruel with a lovable disguise, and it brings one question to mind, Why haven't I picked this game up yet?

[@crobinson2624]

Beaten it. Its a great and beautiful game. No other game like it.

[@benjaminweisel4982]

[@CMGCave]

Im sorry, but I don't think the Wii U will ever become the next 3DS. But I don't think it will become the next GameCube either. Lets just wait and see once the next generation finally takes off!

[@thndr_5468]

Miss u bro

[@Gestersmek]

Pikmin 3 was so cool.

[@Tool0GT92]

I had to stop playing Pikmin, I would play it for a few hours then it wouldn't stop playing in my head after I stopped. It was so addicting.

[@georgeh91000]

I'm pretty sure this was ported from the wii to wii u that's why the ground textures are shit

[@ryanpopielarski569]

That would probably be Virtual Boy.

[@MarxForever]

Except the Virtual Boy was not console.

[@PhillipSachse]

Just downloaded this game from my free download from mario kart 8 hnnnnnnnnnng

[@KrGsMrNKusinagi0]

+FD2K20 physical copy only 19.99 Nintendo selects just released

[@Koolguykai]

Nice to see you too.

[@Gestersmek]

It still ls...

[@gamecube64sega68]

Whats the name of the intro song, please.

[@erainmartinez8175]

I have seen this review way too many times

[@darrendavenport3334]

As good as this is i still prefer pikmin 2 much more...

[@samsen171]

Technically we could include the Nintendo 64 Disk Drive as well.

[@Anthony64641]

This game look sooo awesome! I'm glad I have a wiiu! :D

[@7days6nights93]

bingo games on pikmin is fun alot plus I pluck pikmin and pokemon okay bye now I

[@DaveTheSodaGuy0]

But that was a joke!!! Don't be so insecure to the point of not taking a joke. Trust me, it's pretty unhealthy.

[@eirik1234321]

xexcept xb and ps doesnt have powerfull graphics. a good pc has. ps4 and xb have bellow average for computers

[@sergiomonty]

Here's a fun fact, Derek... the Wii U is not Nintendo's worst selling console.

[@campbellwisecup7121]

this game saved the u

[@Blunder03]

Campbell Wisecup Lmao okay...

[@rmontesalvarez]

Virtual Boy doesn't even count!!! :)

[@Timeformusic33]

Hi

[@jordydelange8853]

this game proves the WiiU isnt just PS3 graphics.... this looks somuch more detailed than the PS3 or XBOX360

[@DGRIZY]

Pikmin 2 is still my favorite

[@A88mph]

...Little extra something. And that is why Nintendo will NEVER be irrelevant in the video game industry

[@SNN788]

Wii U > PS4 > Colecovision > Tic Tac Toe > ass cancer > Xbox (d)One.

[@EPiiCx5587]

+Stormin' Norman Anything > Fanboys

[@KrokusRandamity]

Pikmin 2 best video game of all time

[@DigitalNES1]

WAT?

[@SoulEaater]

I bought my wii u JUST for this game. :)

[@MarioKazooie]

Whatever happened to this channel

[@Brianexe43]

How? It doesn't look like anything past what the PS3 is capable of.

[@samuelmorado70]

Just got my physical copy for 5 bucks

[@ICYoyoLamar]

the ground textures are crap tho. don't get me wrong i love the game and it is overall more pretty then most ps3/360 games but the ground textures are terrible.

[@frylock456]

in before 301

[@sergiomonty]

The Gamecube is not Nintendo's worst selling console either, please get your history straight before insulting others.

[@teoferrazzi]

I don't think that's true.. don't get me wrong, this game has got more artistic creativity than a million FPSs.. but it's no technical marvel.

[@KennethDCalderon]

Poor Wii U ... still have no games ;(

[@psistis80]

Worst Nintendo console ever?N64
