There isn’t much I can say about later in the story to keep it a surprise for newcomers, although it feels like it’s over before it's really begun. The story is straightforward, reuniting your crew as you collect fruit and try to find the key. It’s not that easy as the world is a dangerous one, filled with large animals who are happy to eat Pikmin, all of the Pikmin. Ever-helpful, the crew will need the Pikmin’s assistance to regroup, gather fruit and get back home. It’s not long before they discover the mysterious creatures we know as Pikmin. The crash scattered the crew across the region, and the Cosmic Drive Key has been lost. Intrepid explorers Alph, Brittany and Charlie crash land on the planet, just like Olimar had. They have found a suitable planet with harvestable food the planet PFN-404, which happens to be the same planet that Olimar (protagonist of Pikmin 1 & 2) had travelled to all those years ago.

The planet Koppai is in desperate need of food to feed a booming population. It’s wild to think that it has nearly been 20 years since the series launched, hell it’s nearly been a decade since Pikmin 3 originally came out! After all this time can a Deluxe upgrade bring Pikmin back to the masses.

Since the series debut on the GameCube, I have been a fan of the Pikmin games. While the Wii U may not have done as well as its predecessor, it carried an enjoyable library of games that are still getting ported to the Switch.
