A Love Letter To Pikmin 2

Over the last month or so I have been on a mission. It is a mission bigger than Barbenheimer. It is a mission bigger than two words mushed together. It’s even bigger than Tom Cruise’s latest mission. It’s to play each of the now FOUR Pikmin games back to back to back. Ever since Pikmin 2 came out in 2005 (ish) I have adored that game. Even before that I adored the little claymation Pikmin promotions in Nintendo Power. As a not-quite-driving-age high school student back then, I’d put on my iPod and dive into my Nintendo Power on my bus rides home. This is how I discovered many gems including Viewtiful Joe, StarCraft Ghost and my beloved Pikmin 2. Pikmin 2 is a sequel as the title suggests. It’s bigger, badder, and longer than its predecessor and comes with new Pikmin. And Pikmin are these little sprite-like things that resemble walking carrots with blooms on their heads. You, well, you’re Olimar and you’ve crash landed on their planet. Or at least that was the plot of the first game. In this game your space-mining company has gone bankrupt and you’re on a mission to find treasures like batteries, rubber duckies and dumbbells to get Hocotate Freight out of debt. <a href="https://emcolumbus.medium.com/a-love-letter-to-pikmin-2-88f44dde0e3e">Visit Now</a>
