Hey! Pikmin | REVIEW

Posted on August 7, 2017 by Jason Nason

I’ve never really played Pikmin before.

Luckily there is no prerequisite experience necessary for Hey! Pikmin, the spinoff title for the Nintendo 3DS. Like many Nintendo pieces the game is a stand alone tale and you don’t need to have played any games in the series before. After crash landing on this new planet Olimar is tasked with the seemingly insurmountable task of collecting
