Did you get to play the third Pikmin game? I’m looking forward to trying the co-op missions at some point. (This might be a good thing to bring to a SB meet-up one day, given that few people have the Wii U and even fewer have Pikmin 3.)
I just now realized that I had never seen exactly what happens when you lose the first game. It’s great.
One of the best things about the original Pikmin is that you can lose, I think. How many other games have that sort of tension? It’s quite different from the gimmicky type of “bad ending” found in other games that you don’t really see coming.
