Expected little more than a nostalgia trip when going back to play this game, but found it to continue to hold up really well. Mechanics were solid although could be fiddly especially when commanding pikmin or navigating them across a bridge that would inevitably lead to a mass drowning. A real charming story, Olimar's after action reports are full of small details about his life and family, and do really provide a real motivation for the player to want to finish the game. Watching the ship become slowly more complete as the game continues is surprisingly satisfying.
