4 Things You Should Know Before Starting Pikmin 3 Deluxe

You Don’t Need Prior Knowledge

Pikmin 3 Deluxe starts by introducing players to three brand-new characters trying to find fruit for their home planet that’s lacking food.

There aren’t too many ties to the original Pikmin and Pikmin 2 (we don’t talk about Hey! Pikmin), but there are some nods to the series’ origins, which are nice to see.

But essentially, you can jump right into Pikmin 3 Deluxe without needing to worry about having prior knowledge or not knowing who these characters are.

There’s a lengthy tutorial section and a new hint system in place that makes things simple for newcomers and those who haven’t played a Pikmin game in a while.
