    Peak game, better than tears of the kingdom, looks amazing for being 23 years old! puzzles are challenging and fun and its really fun to explore and speedrun.

    Pikmin 1 is now playable on the Switch, and it has a natural HD facelift as a result of being on the newer hardware, but it doesn't offer anything extra or new beyond that. It's been pulled back out of the past and made available again, and that's it! And honestly, for a great game like this, that can be enough. [Issue #66 – July/August 2023, p. 18]

    The original Pikmin shows beyond any doubt that it's a timeless classic and one that can be easily enjoyed both by long-time fans and new players alike. The experience is pretty much intact and remains perfectly faithful to the original, in a now complete effort that sees all the main games of the Pikmin series available on the Nintendo Switch. With its unique combination of puzzle-solving and strategic planning, Pikmin is a marvel of a game that more than deserves all the attention that the Switch large user base can dedicate.
  3. Your spaceship has had parts break off and spread across the alien world, so you have to work with the Pikmin to get them all back. Most of the experience is filled with breeding new Pikmin and preparing your army for big expeditions, which may see you traverse the land while carrying a part for your ship, or doing battle with a tough boss monster.
