Customers consistently note the fun gameplay and collecting aspects of Pikmin 1 + 2, along with the reasonable price for two games. Many appreciate the portability offered by the Switch version and the updated experience compared to the GameCube originals. However, some customers mention challenges with the control scheme and varying difficulty levels across the two games.

    This package contains both Pikmin 1 and Pikmin 2 on one cartridge. With no apparent visual enhancements, the games look a bit dated. At the same time, it is cool seeing how the series began. The gameplay and music still hold up very well and I enjoyed playing these games very much. Pikmin 1 can be pretty short, but it is very replayable.

    I recently picked up Pikmin and it's been a blast! The game blends strategy and adventure beautifully, with charming graphics and characters. Buying it at Best Buy was super easy and convenient, making the whole experience even better. Highly recommend Pikmin for a fun gaming experience, and Best Buy for hassle-free shopping.

    It's so convenient to have both games on the switch, since I already owned 3 and 4, and my dad had recently gotten into the franchise so getting this has been a blessing.

    Pikmin is 10/10 and worth giving a chance

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Pikmin is a wonderful series that is worth giving a try if you haven't before. Pikmin 1 and 2 are absolutely amazing real time strategy games, that work as both a great introduction to the genre and series. Inspite of being over 20 years old both games hold up greatly. All of the Pikmin are both adorable and well implemented. They're not perfect, Pikmin 1 can be a bit dated at times, and Pikmin 2 can be brutal, but they're very close. Wether you've played Pikmin before or have never heard of it I, luigifan2003, highly recommend it to all

    Definitely worth it at $30 to revisit 2 great strategy puzzle games from the Gamecube era. I've only just started the second game after finishing the first and I'm happy to see that the Pikmin AI is a bit smarter. It's lamentable yet understandable that the product placement was removed in the treasure hunting second game. Nevertheless, the charm remains and these are definitely worthy titles to replay on a rainy day. Just don't go expecting the same QoL features from future Pikmin games like the charging horn or auto targeting.

    A Delightful Return to the World of Pikmin

    I’ve been having an absolute blast playing Pikmin 1 + 2 on my Nintendo Switch OLED Model, and I can confidently say this collection is a must-have for fans of the series or anyone new to the world of Pikmin. Both games have been perfectly ported, offering the charm and strategy of the originals, but with updated visuals and performance that shine on the Switch. The controls are smooth and intuitive, whether you’re playing on the OLED model, the standard Nintendo Switch, or even the Switch Lite. The vibrant colors and details in the environments look stunning, especially on the OLED screen—the lush forests, unique landscapes, and adorable Pikmin themselves have never looked better. Both Pikmin 1 and Pikmin 2 are full of fun, challenging puzzles that keep me coming back for more. The strategy involved in commanding your Pikmin to explore, gather resources, and defeat enemies never gets old. I love the unique mechanics of each game—the first is more about survival and exploration, while the second adds more complexity with treasures and multiple objectives. It’s a perfect blend of creativity and challenge. What’s truly amazing is how well these games translate to the handheld mode of the Switch. The portability of the Switch makes it easy to enjoy Pikmin 1 + 2 wherever I go, whether I’m relaxing on the couch or playing during my commute. Overall, Pikmin 1 + 2 on Nintendo Switch is a joy to play and an excellent way to experience these beloved classics with modern polish. Whether you’re new to the series or revisiting it, this bundle is a great way to enjoy one of Nintendo’s most imaginative franchises.

    Pikmin 1+2 Review

    Good games. These ports of the GameCube originals have minimal upgrades and therefore seem a bit lazy on Nintendo’s part. Especially considering the price. That said, both games perform well when I played them. The C-stick functionality for swarming Pikmin now requires a button press in addition to right stick movement, since the right stick now defaults to controlling the camera. Pikmin 2 is a game where it’s common to reset a stage if it goes poorly, and the most efficient way to do that if by going to the home menu and restarting the game. Some additional quality of life improvements would have been appreciated, such as making the Pikmin sort themselves correctly when throwing or dismissing them. Overall though, I’m happy with my purchase.

    This game is a great deal, getting both the first and second Pikmin games in one package, all for the price of less than one game. The games are great fun, and with updated graphics they look and perform great. However, the controls don’t transfer very well, and that is my only gripe.

    The Pikmin games flew under my radar when they initially premiered for the Gamecube. I was always curious about them, especially when the newest games came out more recently. Getting the first two in one bundle is a great value. The controls integrate nicely into the Switch format and they play very smoothly. This is an overall solid re-release of these classic titles!

    Pikmin 1+2 is a fun throwback. These games hold up surprisingly well, especially if you’ve never played them before. Pikmin 1 keeps things tense with its 30-day time limit, while Pikmin 2 is a bit more relaxed and adds cool stuff like caves and new Pikmin types. The updated visuals look better, though they didn’t overhaul much. Controls can feel a little awkward sometimes, especially in handheld mode, but nothing deal-breaking
