Like Pikmin, The Wild at Heart is smooth and intuitive. Instead, the games each have different strengths and weaknesses.
When it comes to gameplay, I really expected Pikmin to pull away in my comparison, because of my fond memories and the fact that intuitive gameplay is what Nintendo is known for. Well, mea culpa: Pikmin 3 is a good game, if not a particularly fulfilling one it also doesn’t change up much from that 2001 original I loved so much. I wanted to test if my love for those little alien plants withstood the test of time. I was so nostalgic for Pikmin throughout my 16 hours with The Wild at Heart that, shortly after I finished the game, I actually felt inspired to buy the most recent Pikmin game: last year’s Pikmin 3 Deluxe on Nintendo Switch. Pikmin was also incredibly difficult, to my recollection, requiring subtle strategy to make it through the punishing terrain.
Surely Pikmin was longer than this short-ish, independently developed game Pikmin’s story felt endless when I played as a kid. Surely, I thought, the similar gameplay in Pikmin was superior-it was created by Nintendo, which meant it had that inherent Nintendo magic. While I liked The Wild at Heart from the start, as I played, I continually harkened back to my fond memories of playing the original Pikmin as a child.
