Pirates of the Caribbean 6 Will Focus on Napster and MP3 Crisis of 2000

With Johnny Depp’s current predicament, Pirates of the Caribbean 6 is up in the air. Depp’s iconic role of Jack Sparrow is the heart of soul of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. No more Jack Sparrow lands this upcoming film in a tough spot. Depp packed theaters with his quirky, charismatic pirate persona. Nonetheless, the producers and writers of the film are coming up with a new spin for Pirates 6 that won’t rely on Jack Sparrow. Fans are wondering, how could you still make this movie when the only entertaining part of the franchise is gone? What’s the point of this new movie if it’ll just be Pirates of the Caribbean with none of the content that made the previous movies enjoyable?

Pikmin 3 Deluxe Co-Op: Do Not Play With Your Toddler

I love my son. He is growing up to be a huge Nintendo fan like I myself am. Unfortunately he is still only three years old. His abilities are limited, and unfortunately so is my patience. I figured I would playthrough Pikmin 3 with my son. I played the game on the Wii U, and I figured this would spice things up, and give me a chance to bond with my son. Unfortunately, I was so wrong. Tensions within the family have been rough since our initial playthrough. My son just couldn’t grasp the game. I am talking Pikmin extinction status levels of irresponsibility. I will never be allowing my son to get a pet after I saw how he handled the Pikmin.

Pikmin 3 Deluxe Review: Is Revisiting PNF-404 A Great Idea?

Pikmin 3 Deluxe released at the end of October for the Nintendo Switch. If this sounds game sounds familiar, that is because it is. The original game, Pikmin 3, released in North America back in August of 2013. It is only natural to wonder, is a seven year old game worth playing again? This can be a difficult question, because the answer lies within a struggle between nostalgia, pleasantness, and logic. This is our Pikmin 3 Deluxe review.

Pikmin 3 Deluxe: A Modern Review Of An Older Game

Pikmin 3 is technically a 7 year old game. The Switch port doesn’t even increase the graphic quality of the game. Does this mean it is a poor and lazy port? Not in the slightest. Nintendo has done something that is hard to grasp. They created a game so masterful on the Wii U, that it can appear again on a new console seven years later and no one bats an eye. I am not kidding, the game looks beautiful. This isn’t a jab against the graphical prowess of the Nintendo Switch, but a major complement to Nintendo for creating such a timeless game. Some of my colleagues were unaware that the game was a port. No one ever questioned the game’s age. I genuinely believe that there is no downside to porting Pikmin 3 over to the Switch. All it can do is make old fans happy again, and bring new fans in.

What Is In It For The Old Fans Though?

This is a difficult question as well. The answer lies behind how much you love co-op games, and how much replay value you can get from small quality of life improvements. I for one, am a huge fan of co-op games. Pikmin 3 is a very complicated and fast paced game, so I don’t recommend playing with a toddler or anything. However, this is also a strength towards the co-op functionality of this game. Pikmin 3 was meant to be co-op. I am more convinced than ever after playing through the game again with a qualified partner. Juggling between the three captains is easier and more efficient than ever, and being able to divide and conquer is a blast.

A Co-Op Masterpiece, Or A Tagged On Game Mode?

My partner and I typically divided the tasks based off of needing a certain Pikmin type. She would take blue Pikmin and flying Pikmin, since both can survive water terrain (by swimming or flying over it). I on the other hand would take more offensive breeds of Pikmin, such as the red and rock types. I often took the yellow Pikmin as well, but really it just came down to whether or not we needed electric fences destroyed, or if those pesky electric dog enemies were lurking.

Pikmin 3 Deluxe turned Pikmin 3 into potentially the best couch co-op game of all time. It is a wild and fun journey. Coordinating attack plans felt fun and energetic, and tons of laughs were had after tragic incidents (usually after the initial heat of the moment). Some of these incidents include myself accidentally throwing a Pikmin holding a bomb rock at a boss that currently was surrounded by all of our other Pikmin (this caused them all to blow up, oops). Another example of this includes my partner commanding her Pikmin to push a bowling ball down a hill. I unfortunately was running down that same hill, and 35 of our Pikmin were immediately killed. This may sound a bit too chaotic for some, but I assure you that it is a fun experience.

The Quality Of Life Additions

Pikmin 3 adds many quality of life additions that old fans will love, and new fans will never know were missing. Working Pikmin now require 2 whistle blows to call back, which is great for dividing up tasks, and the whistle size is increased which helps with some of the boss battles. Another helpful addition is increase in controller options. Fans of motion controls and gyro controls can still have their fun, but I really appreciated the competency of the Nintendo Switch pro controller. The game also features a fun little epilogue, which doesn’t add too much, but it is worth a playthrough.

Is Pikmin 3 Worth Playing Again?

This is the real question. While most initial buyers will likely be loyal Pikmin fans that have played Pikmin 3 before, eventually new players will flock to the game on the Nintendo Switch. So is the game worth playing again? I believe so. The game is charming and hasn’t aged a day. Typically we express more humor in our articles, but Pikmin 3 is a humorous and fun game in itself. I recommend revisiting PNF-404 with a friend, and enjoying in on all of the laughs and charm the game has to offer. My only complaints would be that the game is rather short, and the world is ready for Pikmin 4. Maybe soon?

Pikmin 3 Deluxe: 9/10

Pikmin 3 Deluxe Co-Op: Do Not Play With Your Toddler

Pikmin 3 Deluxe released for the Nintendo Switch last Friday. The game has been long awaited, and fans are excited to finally see Pikmin on the Nintendo Switch. The game released 7 years ago on the wildly unsuccessful Wii U system. It always seemed like a missed opportunity to have Pikmin 3 sit idle on the forgotten platform. The Pikmin series hasn’t received much love from Nintendo since then, with the series only getting one 3DS spin-off since then. While fans anticipate the announcement of a Pikmin 4, Pikmin 3 Deluxe can help fill the void. Thankfully, Pikmin 3 is still fantastic 7 years later. What really shines in Pikmin 3 Deluxe is the co-op story mode. Controlling one of the three playable captains while a friend controls on of the other is a fantastic addition. Unfortunately the co-op mode isn’t always sunshine and rainbows.

Pikmin 3 Deluxe Co-Op, A Tale Of Frustration And Disappointment

How Did This Playthrough Go So Wrong?

The chaos started nearly immediately. My son is reckless and has no remorse for the deaths of the Pikmin. He would throw red and rock Pikmin into the water, bring blue Pikmin right in front of the fire blowing boar creatures, and throw bomb rocks right at my army while I fought a larger creature. Our total Pikmin deaths at the end of the game were 48,000 Pikmin lost. Yes, you read that right. I would spend most nights growing our Pikmin population in preparation of my son’s murderous hand the next morning. No amount of planning or teaching could save our Pikmin from my son. I found my patience wearing thin, and I started valuing the lives of my Pikmin more than my young child. Now I finally know how Olimar felt working with Louie. I am Olimar in this situation.

Why Didn’t You Just Stop Playing?

This is where things get tricky. My ex. wife just doesn’t understand. She would yell at me if I removed my son from the game. If I just stopped playing, she would say I was stopping just out of frustration. I knew we had to play if I wanted the affection of my son, and the respect of my ex. wife. This left me trapped, and it left Pikmin 3 as my only way out. The game was like a jail sentence. I could not see freedom until I completed the game, and with my son at my side.

Did You Still Enjoy The Pikmin 3 Deluxe Co-Op Playthrough?

Over all the game is very well designed. I think this may be the best designed co-op experience I have ever played. When my son wasn’t sabotaging puzzles or running to the other side of the map, I felt a strong sense of appreciation and heart coming from this well thought out co-op journey. I would highly recommend this game to anyone other than a father of a toddler. This isn’t a review, but I would give Pikmin 3 Deluxe a 10/10. This was a wonderful experience, but I hope it was worth damaging my relationship with my son. I hope I can keep partial custody after the abuse claims reach the public.
