I think the strategy/time management gameplay style is Pikmin at its finest, so 1 and 3 are my favorites. I like the genuine atmosphere of tension, danger, and isolation in this game. It is a bit short, but that makes it all the better to replay. The resolution boost is nice, but maybe the low-res original gives it character... either way, the lack of pointer controls disappoint. Gyro pointer has never been a problem for me and is better than a sensor bar at my desk, but that's just how it goes. Pikmin is still a classic, and one to play.
