This was a nostalgic game for me in my childhood. I would play this on my cousins' GameCube at a time where I was terrible at video games, so I would never really get far. Don't think I ever actually got to the blue Pikmin on my GameCube playtime. I've always wanted to beat it but haven't been able to.

When I saw they were selling it on the eShop alongside 2 which I haven't played at all, I immediately jumped at it. Finally beat it and I must say, this is one hell of a great game. I like how different it is from 3 and what I've now played of 2. The stakes are always different in each game. To me, the flat 30 day deadline makes this the most intense game of the series. I like some of the mechanics better in the other 2 and this will probably end up being my least favorite of the series, but I still think it's phenomenal. Especially through its weird amount of tension. Truly one of Nintendo's best series and I hope it finally gets its due, because they sure are treating Pikmin 4 like an event and I love it.
