Due to releasing Pikmin 4 they also released Pikmin 1 and 2 for the Switch and it also came in a physical collection... a month or two after the digital release, but I gotten a lot more patient. So I waited and played the first game again after what must have been 10 years. I bought the original gamecube version near release, and it was one of the first game I actually went and bought myself. Still have the copy. Got the game mostly from the hype around another Miyamoto IP and a demo they had on a Super Play DVD. It looked amazing for the day and I wasn't that averse to strategy games, I played Warcraft.
Story is that Captain Olimar is on his way home when an asteroid hits his ship the S.S. Dolphin and he crash on this familiar looking planet. He has 30 days to find at least 25 of the 30 parts to be able to travel back to his home planet and meet his family again. To help him he finds the local creatures called pikmin that sprouts from onions that can fly. In the original it was the standard red, blue and yellow pikmins.
Now, I finished it once before and I think I did that in something like 25 days, this time I did it in 20 days. Dandori skills through the roof. It was fun and even if the time constraints due to the 30 day limit it was decent enough. That I finished the whole final area in one day, including fighting the final boss is kinda impressive since I think I spent a couple of days last time. Overall I felt smaller last time playing than now.
A problem I encountered though was that the improvements made in later games greatly enhances the gameplay so going back is a bit archaic. I miss switching between different pikmin's just by clicking a button. Having several captains that you can order around makes the game easier since you can multitask, here you just have Olimar that have to keep track of everyone. I didn't get the sequel for some reason until it was released for the Wii, I wonder how that will feel.
