  • Abstract:  Pikmin (n.) — a sentient plant creature of minuscule proportions, with a single flower bud growing from the top of its bulb-shaped head. Pikmin come in a variety of colors, and can lift and carry objects several times their size. Fiercely loyal, they can ...

  • It's been nearly a year since the launch of the Wii U, and we finally have a game that warrants the purchase of the system. Pikmin 3 is gorgeous, it packs an awesome set of controls and it's a game loaded with content. On top of the Story Mode, there's al...

  • Abstract:  CommentPikmin 3 might not look like the typical system seller for Nintendo (there's not a Mario Bros. in sight), but if you’ve been a fan of the series since its GameCube inception, you’ll probably know otherwise. It certainly had me spending more time...

  • Abstract:  For those who, like me until recently, have never played a Pikmin game before, the central idea is easy enough to explain, but its apparently simple formula contains a vast wealth of strategic depth. This is a game that has no single correct method for do...

  • I'm a long-term Pikmin addict, and while I can't deny that at a certain level, Pikmin 3 really is just more of the same, it's delivered so particularly well that I find I can't stop playing it. I've argued the same point about Mario games previously; that...

  • Abstract:  It's hard to say what makes the real David so magical and the phony so dull. But whatever it is, Nintendo's got some at their office. They put a few drops into Pikmin 3.Sure the graphics are great, and the music is great, and the gameplay is great. That's...

  • Abstract:  Fans and critics alike are all too aware of the challenges that Nintendo has faced with getting the Wii U into households. Everyone seems to have a different idea of why this is the case, but one of the popular thoughts is that there's a lack of ‘must-hav...

  • Abstract:  Pikmin has always been considered an iconic Nintendo series, despite the fact that there have only been 3 installments in 12 years. When Pikmin 3 was announced as a Wii U launch title, it was an exciting moment. Not only was the series going to be resurre...
