My daughter just loved Pikmin 3, so I bought the first Pikmin game on Gamecube a while back. She's been looking at the box quite a bit and today, she finally convinced me to plug in the old 'Cube to fire up the game that started it all.

| The original three |
We played the first two days. One thing that I remember being really weird about Pikmin 1 is that there is a very strict time limit to finishing the game. There are 30 parts of Olimar's ship to collect, and 30 days to do so. So far, we've gathered two pieces, so we are still on track, but I remember that's why I never finished the original when it first came out.
The mechanics have been much refined with Pikmin 3, so it's a bit rough coming back to this one, but it still plays well and the core concepts haven't changed that much. The graphics have though. While Pikmin 3 is fucking beautiful, Pikmin 1 looks pretty shitty overall. I found red and yellow pikmin, but no blues yet. Day 3 awaits!
