Item Description

Few launch-window games have aged with as much charm as Pikmin. Shigeru Miyamoto has often pointed to his love of gardening as an inspiration, and you can feel it everywhere: the dewdrops, the tangled roots, the snack-sized monsters that stalk through grass taller than the hero. That hero is Captain Olimar, an inch-tall spaceman whose ship, the S.S. Dolphin, is struck by a meteor and scattered across an unknown planet. The air is full of oxygen, which is poison to him, and his life support will hold out for only 30 days. To get home, he needs the help of the strange little plant creatures he finds sprouting from the ground.

The Pikmin follow Olimar in a living, chattering swarm. Throw them at a ship part and they haul it back to base, throw them at an enemy and they pile on, and pluck new ones from the soil as their numbers grow. Each color matters. Reds are the strongest fighters and resist fire, Yellows can be thrown higher and carry bomb-rocks, and Blues are the only ones that can survive in water. Every day you decide how to split your forces between clearing obstacles, building bridges and recovering pieces of the Dolphin before sunset, when any Pikmin left behind are fair game for the creatures of the night.

That deadline gives Pikmin its unusual tension. It is a real-time strategy game at heart, but it plays like a nature documentary with stakes, as you lead your army from the Impact Site through the Forest of Hope and the Distant Spring, losing a few brave Pikmin to every Bulborb you underestimate. Olimar's daily log entries, lonely, homesick and often very funny, give the whole journey a quiet emotional pull, and how many ship parts you recover by day 30 decides which ending you see.

Pikmin arrived during the GameCube's first year as an entirely new Nintendo world, and it grew into a series that has since spanned four main games, with Pikmin 4 arriving on the Switch in 2023. In Japan, a wistful song written for its TV commercials even became a chart hit of its own. The very first entry is the starting point of that whole story: the 30 days, the 30 ship parts and the little spaceman who started it all.

About the game

Pikmin is a whole new breed of gameplay from Nintendo. The quirky, life-under-the-microscope title delivers a unique experience like few before it with a blend of real-time strategy, adventure, and puzzle elements. Taking advantage of the GameCube's graphics power, Pikmin sports lush texture work that brings to life a microscopic fantasy world. Players control Captain Olimar, a lovable little astronaut, who crash landed on a planet inhabited by even more lovable little plant creatures known as Pikmin. Olimar can command these creatures RTS-style, assign them tasks, make them attack foes, and gather resources. The ultimate task is to rebuild Olimar's space ship before a 30-day time window elapses.
