Pikmin 3

OK, just played Day 1 and posted some stuff to Miiverse... :yoshi:
I've said this so many times, but the only easy way to play it wi the Wiimote and Nunchuck, controls with the GamePad are screwy.
The only complaint other than that I have so far is that the group feature from the past two games (which is really useful) is gone :(
 
By group feature, do you mean swarm? I prefer Gamepad controls because it's like the GameCube one. Only complaint is that whistle is ZR rather than B and I keep on screwing up because of that.

Also, holy shit the Armored Mawdad is crazy. Lost 15 Pikmin to him, but ended up getting like 50 from his corpse.

Yeah, I just hate having to point and throw Pikmin when the object is right next to you.
Haven't gotten t him yet, but I've seen videos and he seems like hell.
 
Olimar and Louie's roles in the game consist of finding treasure to buy back the Dolphin, but the ship from Pikmin 2 gets destroyed, yet Olimar keeps looking for treasure so Louie leaves him, and steals all your juice. Olimar also gets held captive by the final boss.
 
Just fought and defeated the Vehemoth Phosbat. Didn't lose any Pikmin to him (although I lost a red one to one of those little shits he spawns). However, the damn thing took me 1 and a half days to kill. Really fun boss fight though, although it's a lot more slow than the Mawdad one.

I really love all the different fruits in this game and how they still have wacky names like in Pikmin 2.

Yeah.

I had less trouble on the Vehemoth Phosbat actually. I thought it was easier than the first boss.

Got to Day 16, about to face another boss in Tropical Wilds.
 
Only lost one Pikmin to the Armored Mawdad.
When I went back and beat him again in my other file, I lost 20 >:(
 
I beat the game.

I beat it on Day 34; got all the fruit.

I feel really sad now that I finished it, because now all I want to do is play it again, and then I'll be wasting too much time.

I felt so at ease though in this game. I managed to only leave 5 Pikmin behind on 1 day, and that 1 day was because something blocked me from getting to the Pikmin in time. I was really good managing all three captains, and I swear, at times I felt like 3 players playing a single player game.

And the graphics; pfft, people complain about the ground texture, but I was in awe at points in the game. It might have been more stunning to me because the day before I got Pikmin 3, I replayed Pikmin 1 all the way through, and just the difference from 1 to 3 were just...wow...

That chase took me three days to do. THREE! By the end of it, I was like a pro at micromanaging all my captains.
