Pikmin to me is like the perfect kind of confert food gaming. As a time management strategy games I feel like a good chunk of the game is managing the Pikmins crappy AI rather then a real challenge but once you get used to it it's not that big of a deal. I feel like while Pikmin 3 really does do everything better this game does it's still something to come back to just for the undeniable nintendo charm that I personally feel is lacking from a lot of their more recent games. (god I hope Pikmin 4 is good) Pikmin 1 is just oozing with so much charm and just like other Nintendo games of that era it's also pretty replayable even with just the single campaign mode and a few challenge modes. Too me that's a mark of quality that even thought your game is lacking in overall context it dosn't matter because the core game is just so much fun you wanna replay it over and over again.

In other news I wish I had a pet Bulborb so fucking badly. I don't care if their the apex predator for out lovable group of plant based parasites I want one now. I could keep em in like a warm terrarium and like sprinkle pikmin into the tank like fish food. Come on Nintendo just give me one, I know you have the money to start a cross splicing gene farm for fictional characters; just give em to me now. where else are you putting all that Switch money because it's definitely not in the games or hardware!!!!
