I’m SHOCKED and AMAZED that nearly everything that made Pikmin 3 so good was already implemented in the first game! I was really expecting a game that was janky and hard to work with, but no! It has aged phenomenally well!
That’s not to say it’s easy, good grief, it’s nightmarishly hard! I can’t imagine playing this game as a kid because I NEVER would have beaten it within the 30 day time limit. Hell, I almost didn’t this time! (And don’t get me started on that final boss that took me well over an hour to beat and ate all of my Pikmin) I loved the challenge though, this was a tremendously fun game! That makes two in a row now! Pikmin 2 is next!
