Put your Faith in the hands of Miyamoto.  For he will reveal the amfibian flora when you most need them.  Do not search for them in vain, for they are beyond your grasp.

You'll find them when you're intended to, as with all the others, but it'll be much later in the game then you'd expect..  You didn't 'miss' them by accident.

I have searched everywhere on these three maps.  No sign of them.


Blue Pikmin are the last you come across and you won't see them until the last quarter of the game. You've probably got a little more ways to go. You can't miss them though.

Quick Pikmin 3 question.  Is it possible to be seven hours into the game and NOT find any blue Pikmin?  I don't want any help, just curious if I just completely missed them somewhere.

Yes it's normal, but remember to revisit old levels.

The IGN MGS preview is garbage, other sites explain it all much better. There is no mark and execute, the game has a slow mo moment where you can kill a guard before the game goes into alert. Kojima says he does this cause when the game is full open world you its super hard to keep track of everyone so you would be going into alert all the time. I do not like that it has CoD like health regen, stupid black and white screen garbage.  Animations seem fantastic, Snake moves much more fluid. More gameplay less cutscenes. He got to escape on a jeep and helicopter while engaged in a firefight, should make things more dynamic.

Its MGS it will be fantastic.

Puppeteer Reviews

GamingTrend 9.3/10

This is your imagination come to life. In a holiday season filled with sequels, heists, and all the action games you can imagine, Puppeteer is different…and different is good.

God is a Geek 9/10

The juxtaposition of cartoonish humour with incredibly dark and macabre imagery and story direction means that even after playing for several hours you’ll still find things to surprise and shock you.

GameSpot 9/10

Puppeteer is a little quirky, perhaps even a little insane in places, but unashamedly so. And you know what? It works brilliantly.

GamesBeat 9/10

Most of what this adventure does is refreshing and just plain charming — especially for its take-my-money-please $39.99 price. The title made me smile with its top-notch production value, radiant world, and phenomenal music.

EGM 9/10

It’s rare that a game can succeed at offering something for all audiences, but Puppeteer manages to accomplish just that. With a charming story, innovative gameplay, and a theatrical visual style that’s impossible not to love, this platformer’s a great fit for parents, kids, and everyone in between.

Vandal Online 9/10

If you've ever played and enjoyed a 2D platform game, you cannot miss this one. Another title that proves that this genre, long forgotten, is back.

Gamereactor DK 9/10

Everyeye.it 8.8/10

An amazing adventure, bright and full of courageous concepts. A new form of "theatrical platform".

GameTrailer 8.7/10

While Puppeteer's unique construction doesn't always make for the most fluid action, it presents some new ideas across an undeniably fun and diverse journey. Creatively fashioned visuals and a tongue-in-cheek sense of humor lend an impressively elaborate feel to the overall production.

IGN 8.5/10

Puppeteer does a really nice job of overwhelming us with so much well-executed eccentricity, not much else matters. And frankly, there’s nothing else like it.

Meristation 8.5/10

Pirates, dark castles, Tim Burton-esque scenarios, the grim reaper, a giant whale, dragons, Taiku drums... Everything on a single stage that changes every 5-10 minutes, not only in its visuals but in its goals. Now fight inside a snake, cross the deep sea, run from moonbears. Puppeteer is truly one of its kind, a unique playable extravaganza like no other, and one of the most attractive games of the year on PlayStation 3. If you miss that old feelin' only vintage 2D platforms from Genesis & Super Nes can bring, just buy this golden ticket that Japan Studio offers you.

Videogamer 8/10


Puppeteer is Sony's best pure platformer on the PS3, delivering the kind of tight mechanics and pin-point controls usually only found in games starring plumbers or apes.
PlayStation Official Magazine UK 8/10


The world is colourful, creative and wildly diverse – you’ll side scroll your way through castle dungeons, haunted forests and pirate ships to name just three – and is brought to life with Dahl-esque wit and flair by a hilarious cast of characters.

Metro Game Central 8/10


An incredible work of imagination and one of the best-looking games of the generation. The gameplay can’t quite match the magic of the presentation, but it’s not far behind.
Gameblog.fr 8/10


Although Puppeteer was obviously built with old materials and traditional mechanics, it embodies a modern, if not timeless, platformer. Thanks to the passion and the masterful craftsmanship of Gavin Moore's team, this puppet was given a soul, both flamboyant and quirky, as such a magical performance shows.
Eurogamer Italy 8/10


A gorgeous-looking and entertaining platform game, with a very unique style that deserves all of your attention.
GameKult 7/10

Eurogamer 6/10


This certainly isn't a bad game, but it is a disappointing one. Visually, it's a treat and, Kutaro's inevitable blankness aside, it overflows with personality. It comes frustratingly close to delivering something special. But despite multiple gameplay avenues bursting with potential, it leaves them largely unexplored, showing more interest in wowing you with surface sizzle.

Puppeteer is a $36 pre-order for Plus members. That price is really good, but it looks waaaay too weird to me.

You know after watching a lot of anime I now get why Metal Gear has these elaorate, overwrought monologues by tragically misunderstood characters, on their deathbeds. It's a thing over there.

Mechanically they have issues but there is a load of depth to them. You will need to choose the right weapons and max out the stats to get the best ranks. There are a ton of secrets to uncover and the games are massive.
