Pikmin 3 Review

   First off, sorry for the long delay. I was at a camp, but when I came back I immediately began playing through Pikmin 3's various gameplay modes. Now, I've got a review for you!

   I am going to start off with the Bingo Battle mode. I tried this once, but I disliked it very quickly. I am normally a fan of one-on-one games, but this I never really liked for some reason...
  On to the Missions. Missions have three different categories which are:
      1. Collect Treasure
      2. Battle Enemies
      3. Defeat Bosses
   I found all three modes equally enjoyable and very useful for training myself before entering a difficult area in the story mode, but what about that story mode?
   Story mode was a blast! With five different types of Pikmin and three captains at my disposal, multitasking was made easy with the Wii U GamePad, and on the later days when I was collecting up to 6 fruits a day, this really came in handy.
   Overall, I really felt that Nintendo really tried hard on this game, and it shows. The game is fluid and looks stunning (As I was hoping it would after being delayed for nearly a full year). I've seen good reviews all over the internet (and you're about to see another one) with only a couple of sites looking down on Pikmin 3. But my final verdict is...
