Joyful exploration and intense fights make Pikmin 3 the best Wii U game yet (review)

If I were to only judge a game by how much I want to keep playing it, then Pikmin 3 is one of the best games I played so far this year.

After watching the credits roll, I checked my save file and couldn’t believe that I had spent 17 hours in Pikmin 3. It didn’t feel that long. My time with it passed by in a blur of joyful exploration and intense fights.
