Pikmin 3 2013

Is it still worth playing?

Nintendo's 2013 real time strategy and puzzle game for the Wii U, the sequel to Pikmin and Pikmin 2. The captains Alph, Brittany and Charlie explore a planet they name PNF-404 in search of fruit seeds to save their home planet, Koppai, from famine. You control up to three captains and switch between them, and each commands a horde of up to 100 plant like creatures called Pikmin to explore, fight, solve puzzles and gather fruit. Their colors mark their abilities. Red Pikmin are immune to fire and stronger, Yellow ones are immune to electricity and can be thrown farther, and Blue ones are immune to water. This game adds Rock Pikmin, which destroy tough barriers and cannot be crushed, and Winged Pikmin, which attack airborne enemies and cross water. With different Pikmin for different obstacles, deciding whom to bring is still part of every task.
