Great game, fast shipping

The cartridge arrived in perfect condition. Being the Japan version, I was worried about region locks, but it runs perfectly. Only giving 4 stars because the box art is entirely in Japanese.

Best Pikmin yet

The new mechanics in Pikmin 4 add so much depth. Playing with two people makes managing the Pikmin squads much easier and more fun. Highly recommended for strategy lovers.

Kids love the creatures

My children absolutely adore the Pikmin characters. It's a wholesome game that we can all enjoy together on the couch. No issues with the Japan version cartridge at all.

Chinese text is clear

As a Chinese speaker, I am very happy that the text is crisp and easy to read. The story mode is engaging, and the Dandori battles are a great addition.

Perfect for Co-op Play!

Bought this for my kid and me to play together. The Chinese language support works flawlessly on our US console. The gameplay is charming and strategic without being too difficult.

Solid entry in the series

If you liked previous Pikmin games, you will love this. The difficulty curve is well-balanced. My only minor complaint is that some late-game levels can feel a bit repetitive.
