Pikmin 3 Deluxe - Nintendo Switch

The co-op mode alone is worth the price—playing with my kid has been a blast. Controlling the different Pikmin colors feels more fluid on the Switch, and the new side stories are a nice bonus.

I’ve been playing through this port on my Switch in handheld mode, and the touchscreen controls for commanding the Pikmin squad are surprisingly intuitive. It’s a nice upgrade from the original, though I do wish the co-op was easier to jump into with a random.

Being able to pause and rewind time with the lock-on feature saved me so many times when a squad member wandered off. The co-op mode on the Switch makes it way easier to manage all the tasks without that frantic chaos I remember from the original.
