Item Description

Pikmin was one of the most inventive games of Nintendo's GameCube era: a real-time strategy game hidden inside a charming, miniature world unlike anything else on the market. You play as Captain Olimar, a tiny spaceman who crash-lands on a mysterious planet and must recruit an army of small, plant-like creatures called Pikmin to recover the scattered parts of his ship before his life support runs out. Every day on the planet is a race against the setting sun, and the whole adventure plays out under a deadline you can feel.

The heart of the game is managing your little crew. Red Pikmin shrug off fire, Yellow Pikmin can be tossed higher and carry bomb-rocks, and Blue Pikmin are the only ones that can swim, so every area becomes a puzzle about which team to bring, how to split them up and how to get the most work done before nightfall. New Play Control rebuilds the controls around the Wii Remote's pointer, and aiming a throw or directing a squad by pointing at the screen feels quick and precise in a way the GameCube's analog stick never quite managed.

What makes Pikmin endure is its tone: quietly melancholic, endlessly curious and visually gorgeous in a way that rewards close attention. The world is a backyard rendered enormous and alien. A bottle cap becomes a landmark, a puddle becomes an obstacle, and a sleeping Bulborb becomes something to plan an entire morning around. The Pikmin themselves are irresistibly expressive, and losing a squad to a wandering predator carries a real sting that still catches players off guard.

Shigeru Miyamoto's strategy series started here, and the original's mix of urgency and wonder set the tone for every sequel that followed. This Wii release is a great way to experience where it all began with pointer controls that suit the game perfectly, and it makes a smart starting point before moving on to Pikmin 2 and beyond.
