This was one of those games I purchased before I even had a Wii U. To this day it's still one of my favourites.

I have the fantastic tune to Bowser's 'final' zone stuck in my head as he spent some time working on getting the 170 stars to go to the big bad 'pussycat's' lair. Top, top tune.

The Super Mario 3D World music was what woke me this morning, I bought my Wii U the day that game released & we still play it!

Great stuff, we have the World Of Nintendo Red Pikmin! My son is five he learned watching me since he turned four & he can practically finish the game on his own.

He got into it via Nintendoland and has been hooked since - although at the moment he is solidly into Super Mario 3D World.
Yep, roll on Pikmin 4 say I, will love playing that with him.

It's the best Wii U game. If you own the system, please give it a go. It's a steal at this price.

Another in a long, long line of games proving while the Wii U failed at sales, it succeeded hugely in what arguably matters most - GAMES.

My lad loves it, so much so that I've had to fork out for all the Pikmin cuddly toys (with the exception of pink flyer) - he loves them so much!

God, I'm so pleased Pikmin is getting out to new generations. I think it's a magical game. If you're bringing your kids up on games like Pikmin, then you're doing it right.
Pikmin 3 is the best in the series.. it beats the other two (which were amazing at the time) by a country mile... it's as close to perfect as a game can get.I think I've put 150 hours in to it (none of that was Bingo Mode) but that would have been 500+ hours if Bingo Mode was online.
