And to my delight, there’s an endgame. More levels, more caves, more useless junk to collect. Yessss. Good game, definitely feeling the urge to go for 100% completion which was an unthinkable task in Pikmin 3.

I will say the tower defense mode is not great and I could do without Dandori Battles, but kudos to Nintendo for trying new things. When’s the turn based tactics Pikmin mode? I’ll take a whole game of that please and thank you, surely they could make that work. Anyone else spend the last few weeks pikking min?

I have also be pikking my men. Your play time is double the time it took me to 100% the story mode of Pikmin 3 Deluxe lol. So far I am really not liking the tower defence missions. They are small thankfully but they are so fucking basic and nearly identical feeling level to level and easy/boring. Shame. Dandori battles are fun tho and there hasn't been that many so far.

I notice my playtime tends to be way higher than average on Steam and such. I’m a slow, slow boy! That said I was flipping through my Wii U activity log just the other day and saw that it took me only 13 hours to beat Pikmin 3. Surprising, because I remember it feeling like a pretty substantial campaign.
