Pikmin 2, originally released in the summer of 2004, is a real-time strategy game in which you take control over Olimar, the original game's protagonist, and Louie, his assistant. Olimar and Louie return to the planet of the pikmin to find treasures in an attempt to get their company out of debt.
Pikmin 1 + 2 version 1.1.0 update released, and Nintendo has shared the official patch notes.
Despite being barebone ports of the originals, Pikmin 1 + 2 are still great on the Nintendo Switch, bringing all-numbered entries of the franchise onto the platform for fans to enjoy.
Pikmin: New Fortune is a fan-made sequel to the Pikmin trilogy that brings a brand new coat of paint to Pikmin 2's engine.
The Pikmin games always looked fun to me. I'm not sure why I never got into them.
Oh my god! I was diehard and actually loved the strategizing in the first Pikmin. It is very strategical despite it's being less serious in story and nature. I love that about some of Nintendo's games, I can be strategical -- without going to war. This kind of made me want to dive into Pikmin 2... I actually have no excuse for never having grabbed the sequel! Except that maybe I was so in love with my GameCube that I got distracted with other GCN games. Sheeeyat, who the hell knocks the GCN by the way?! Let's d-d-d-duel!!
LOL yeah, I never played these games either, but I think I'd like them.
