There are plenty of franchises and characters that Nintendo has introduced to the video game world over th🍌e years that skew more towa🔴rds the strange and unexpected, but the Pikmin series is definitely one of their weirder offerings.
The Pikmin series hasn’t always been the most popular entry on Nintendo consoles, but the franchise makes its proud debut on 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the Nintendo Switch in the form of the new Pikmin 3 Deluxe. The upgraded Switch release is the best way t🐠o experience this classic Wii U title. Pikmin 3 Deluxe i🎐s a very entertaining real-time strategy title, but that doesn’t mean that everything in the series is always going to make a lot of sense.
10 The Contrasting Pik🌳lopedia Entries ♋
Many fans were disappointed when they learned that the Piklopedia from Pikmin 2 was removed in Pikmin 3, b🦩ut thankfully the Switch’s version of Pikmin 3 Deluxe brings back the bestiary in prime form. The Piklopedia keeps tabs on all of the creatures that have been encountered, but it raises some issues, like how it manages to have video footage of each beast. Additionally, Pikmin 3 Deluxe’s Piklopedia features entries from all five leaders, which leads to some humorous observations, but also some inevitable inconsistencies between their reports.
9 There Ca﷽n Be Two Of The Same Leader
One of the big features that Pikmin 3 Deluxe advertises is that it allows for 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:two-person co-operative play in many of its modes, including the game’s main story. However, there are certain passages in the co-op Story Mode where for narrative reasons there is only one leader present at the time. However,♕ if co-op is being played than the other player will control a transparent copy of the leader rather than insert their original partner. As much as this tries to avoid story inconsistencies, it makes even less sense that suddenly there can be two versions of one leader.
8 🌟 There Are Foreign-Colored Pellets
There are many items that are necessary for survival in the Pikmin series and one of the best ways to amass a large enemy of eclectic Pikmin early on is to properly pay attention to the color of the pellets that are found♔.
These pellets correspond to the different types of Pikmin, but Pikmin 3 Deluxe shows off some strangely colored pellets that don’t serve a purpose. Granted, these strange pellets are viewed through the KopPad and it’s possible that 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:they’re just glitches that areꦚn’t meant to be seen, but they throw the whole pellet principle off.
7 All Of The Fruit Is Ripe 𒐪
The major objective in Pikmin 3 Deluxe involves the various leaders recovering enough fruit that can be converted into a juice that’s necessary for their survival. Pikmin 3 Deluxe contains many different forms of fruit that are hidden all over the place, 🅷yet whenever an item is encountered it’s in pristine quality and incredibly healthy. This may make things easier from a visual standpoint, but it’s not very logical that fruit that is found in distress, buried underground, or even inside of other creatures would be in perfect condition.
6 ও T📖he Existence Of New Pikmin
The first Pikmin title establishes three unique varieties of Pikmin that correspond to the game’s mechanics and elements very well. Over time, it’s only natural to add more Pikmin to the equation and Pikmin 2 introduces both purple and white Pikmin into the mix. Pikmin 3 Deluxe goes even further and brings forward both rock and winged Pikmin. These are the wildest Pikmin yet, but it seems suspicious that they’re only just being discovered now. It’s not as if Pikmin are as 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:varied as Pokémon, yet somehow new speciesౠ keep getting discovered.
5 💯Leaders Can Toss One Another
168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Video game heroes come in many shapes and sizes, which is what makes Captain Olimar and his team so unusual. These individuals are often only as powerful as their group of Pikmin, but there are odd occasions when the protagonists are used for ammunition like🌳 they’re the Pikmin. In co-operative play it’s possible to toss another leader around for certain strategic purposes.
It’s a helpful move, but it doesn’t make sense th𒅌at someone lik෴e Olimar would be able to throw someone that’s at least his own weight. Hurling Pikmin is very different than throwing one of his own kind.
4 The Science Behind F♊ruit Juice E𒁃nergy
Each Pikmin title involves the recovery of some kind of treasure that’s fundamental for the survival of the visitors from Planet Koppai. In the case of the first two Pikmin titles it makes sense that missing spaceship parts and fundamental equipment are needed to get back home. Pikmin 3 Deluxe changes this to fruit that needs to be acquired in order to create a sustainable juice. The future in video games can 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:depict some wild ideas,ꦜ but the science behind this juicing process is intentionally vague and not meant to be deeply analyzed.
3 The History Of Planet♓ PNF-404
Sometimes video game sequels can go in radically different directions than their predecessors, but the Pikmin titles don’t 🐲try to reinvent the wheel when it comes to their gameplay and premise. Pikmin 3 Deluxe features a very familiar narrative where Planet Koppai once again needs help from the Pikmin Planet, PNF-404, for survival. There’s also a rescue mission for Olimar and Louie this time around, but the fact that these individuals are still so clueless about a planet that’s been visited several times before doesn’t exactly add up.
2 The Resilience Of Captain Olimar ♊And The Leade🎃rs
The Pikmin series is quite unique in the sense that the titular species are in many ways the collective main characters of 🅰the franchise, but more agency is given to Captain Olimar and the other members of his team. Captain Olimar amasses huge amounts of Pikmin, which makes them ideal to take on enemies, but he’s also able to attack on his own. Pikmin 3 Deluxe actually makes it easier for leaders to give a beating and withstand attacks. Players are supposed to use the Pikmin to solve their problems, so this strange strength in Olimar doesn’t exactly make sense.
1 The Lack Of Online Play ✅
Nintendo is a company that gets a lot of things right and they’ve been able to advance video games in unique ways that other developers don’t even seem interested in exploring. Nintendo is full of innovation, but they’re still generations behind when it comes to 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:their online capabilities. At this point it’s expected for a Nintendo game to have a mediocre online experience, but it doesn’t make any sense why there’s no option at all for this in Pikmin 3 Deluxe. Even the ability for online Bingo Battle would have been a huge deal▨, but nothing is present.
