It feels like I haven't bought a game in quite a long time now, let alone played one, or felt the need to participate in forum activity, but this looks so FUCKING INCREDIBLE that I'm going to break my gaming silence!
I loved Pikmin so much when I got it, and I can't even fathom that it's been over 10 years since I first played it on the Gamecube. Everything about the game was amazing to me; the gameplay, the style, and especially the atmosphere, which to me was partly so engaging because I genuinely felt the pressure of the time limit. Everyday I felt I had to strive to achieve some goal, which is a sensation few games can emulate. I'm aware the time limit is gone, but it'd be great if they managed to somehow recapture that feeling, but even without it, the music alone takes me back to that time when I could spend all day immersing myself in other worlds without feeling that I should really be doing something more productive with my time in the real one.
This and Smash are the only two things that can make me want to pick up a controller again. Sadly I've reached a point in my life where pass times such as gaming and music are now predominantly driven by nostalgia as opposed to freshness and new experiences, so it's nice for me that Nintendo continues to build on old franchises while shoehorning something new in.
