Pikmin™ 1 + 2 - Nintendo Switch (US Version)

What can I say. Pikmin is a great game. Hours of fun. It’s a game you can play over and over. Easy to play. You don’t need to be a pro to play it. Good graphics. Over all a very fun game. A game for the whole family.

Having played both Pikmin and Pikmin 2 on the GameCube, I was excited to hear they had been released for the Switch. These are not remakes, rather the creators kept all the little details and slowness of the originals in their Switch versions. For example, in the first Pikmin, the Pikmin sprout very slowly, and Olimar (the playable character) throws them more slowly than in later games. These processes were kept at there original speeds - which can be a bit frustrating, but I appreciate that they kept it anyway. There are also little features (or perhaps minor bugs) in the originals that were kept - specifically when dismissing your Pikmin squad, sometimes one or two of them will "pretend they didn't hear you". Although some consider this annoying, many others see it as a cute way of giving the Pikmin personality and a mind of their own - I personally think it's a little funny. Overall, I think they are both excellent on the Switch. If you have played one or both on the GameCube and enjoyed them, I believe you will also enjoy playing them on the Switch and will be given a sense of nostalgia and a new appreciation for them. On the other hand, if you are new to Pikmin and Pikmin 2, I would say they are definitely worth playing. If you have played Pikmin 3 or Pikmin 4, they are lower quality than those, but that does not significantly detract from their value or playability. In fact, many people (including myself) consider Pikmin 2 to be the best in the series! What I liked most is that they stayed true to the originals, and the Switch has placed them in HD which is of wonderful quality and allows the player to see more of the fine details that went unnoticeable previously. My biggest critique is that Nintendo did not update their rights to the copyrighted brands they had in Pikmin 2. Thus, all of the name-brand items such as the batteries and bottle caps have been given different names. This was disappointing and takes away a bit of the nostalgia. Afterall, the name-brand items were what connected the Pikmin's world to ours and was a big part of what made Pikmin 2 so iconic.

Both great games, and the cartridge works great. Both games are on the cartridge, no extra download, so it saves space on Switch. Cartridge and case are in good condition.

great game, fun for all ages

The 2 best Pikmin games. Easily worth it

Perfect game what i wanted

Both games play well, and to my surprise, my switch loaded 2 separate games onto my home screen from the same cartridge rather than being one piece of software with a selection screen up front. There are several clear quality of life changes that were made to the later games that didn't exist in the first two or in this compilation. For example, the AI for pikmin movement isn't great, especially in Pikmin 1. They can easily get stuck when going around corners rather than follow your path, for example. When going up a small walkway or across a bridge, sometimes pikmin will fall off instead of pack together to cross with you. Sometimes they will fall in the water in the process also... Making these changes would have been worthwhile in this port, but this did not occur. One small change was made, in that the numbers that show how many pikmin are needed to move an object and how many are currently attached are properly displayed like later games. Overall, the games are good, but I wish they could have been given some of the basic quality of life changes that exist in the later games.

Work with nintendo switch 2 no break.

I loved this game on Gamecube, I love it all over again on Switch! I could have purchased it online but I prefer physical media wherever possible and this works perfectly
