You begin the game as a trio of space explorers searching the universe for new fruit and seeds to send back home - food shortages are ravaging their native planet, and searching for new food sources is the only way to ensure the survival of the species. But what's most important is that the Nintendo Switch release adds a bunch of new features and modes to the game, to make this version definitive by far. Despite the age, Pikmin 3 Deluxe looks just as good as it always did, and there aren't many macro-scale strategy games I'd rather gaze at. Pikmin 3 Deluxe is the long-awaited remaster of Pikmin 3 from the Wii U, which was released more than seven years ago now. Watching Pikmin cry as their ghosts leave their bodies from being crushed or eaten by a giant foe is frightening and sad, but it's only a blip on the radar compared to seeing those monstrous beasties fall from the might of your tactics. Carefully producing a capable force, only to have it all fall when the fight kicks off. Add to that a good amount of terror from being on the frontlines yourself, and that's essentially what Pikmin is. Victory is never assured, no matter how dense your army may be, and watching the units you have carefully cultivated over hours of play die by the hands of an overwhelming enemy is heartbreaking. In any good strategy game, there's an enormous sense of risk.
