Pikmin is the best nintendo franchise ever, but that doesn't mean it's perfect. Pikmin 1 is so full of glitches... but its so easy to look past that. It's charm and aesthetic is surreal. And the exploration and world design is amazing. The pikmin AI is really bad, and the jank leads to angering restarts and replays of days/boss fights. I love pikmin 1 with my heart, but god is it hard to play sometimes.

The peak of pikmin gaming. The way you discovery treasure is amazing, plus the use of different pikmins feels natural, like youre not just using janked controls. Also, the pikmin's AI is so much better, and the combat is a lot more forgiving (except the empress bulbax, RIP). One of the best nintendo games ever, finally on my switch.

Mid gameplay but one of the best war stories I have ever had the pleasure of playing in a video game. Although the story was phenomenal, that does not excuse the gameplay being too clunky and janky at times. And the rage the weird enemy AIs have is crazy because either theyre brain dead or theyre like Pro FAZE members, I swear.
