Critic Reviews
GamingBolt
By Aaron MainHey! Pikmin misses out on being a great platformer with its disappointing touch screen controls, and its poor level design. But it may be a fun ride for die hard Pikmin fans.
Nintendojo
By Robert MarrujoThis is by no means a bad game, but unlike the best Kirby titles where a lack of difficulty doesn't come at the cost of creative game design, Hey! Pikmin feels like it scales back to the detriment of the core experience itself.

By Jari WieschmannAuch wenn ein Checkpoint-System dem Spiel gut getan hätte: Mit Hey!Pikmin hat Nintendo einen Puzzle-Plattformer geschaffen, der zwar in einem neuen Genre unterwegs ist, den Charme seiner Figuren aber dennoch auf treffende Weise einfängt.
Marooners' Rock
By Joseph SiemsenIt’s a fun twist on both Pikmin and 2D platformers. Though not as strong as the main entries of the series, Hey! Pikmin is worthy of the Pikmin name.
