Yes...Ha ha ha...YES!



Pikmin is what made me get a GameCube on launch. Something about the preview trailers and Nintendo's Spaceworld presentation just caught my amazement and I needed to own it. And it didn't disappoint; I got Rogue Leader and SSBM with my 'Cube as well, but Pikmin ruled my life for months. I still blow through it a few weekends a year because it's just a really great game.

And Pikmin 2 is my favorite GameCube game, period. It is perfect. I love that it's challenging, but I love that you can't 'game over'. I love the Purple and White Pikmin, I love Challenge Mode, I love absolutely everything about Pikmin 2. It's magical.

Pikmin 3 may force me to buy a Wii U and skip out on the PS4 and Xbone if it's even half as good as 1 or especially 2 were.

...And on that same journey I've just discovered that people have worked Pikmin 1 from 9 days down to 6. What the gently caress? :stonk:

I am not surprised; given how much speedrunning has taken off lately, I'd expect some crazy people to get it down from 9 days, since 9 days was the shortest time for years and years.

That said, I only barely completed it in 9 days and it felt like I had not a single second to spare. So yeah, that is pretty drat incredible.
