I was not expecting Pikmin 1 and 2 HD ports, but I’ll take them.
I’ll wait for the physical release to have all 4 and show them to my grand kids 25 years from now, for the release of Pikmin 5.
Haha, let’s hope we don’t have to wait that long, but you never know with Nintendo, if they think they don’t have any new idea for the game, it is going to disappear in their locker for next 20 years.
Nintendo is really starting to push Pikmin again and I love it. Glad to have all the games on the switch. Capitalize on the popularity of the system to grow the franchise. Hopefully it’s not another 25 years this time!
