Pikmin

Also known as: N/A

Developer: Nintendo

This is a charming little strategy game from Nintendo involving a spaceman that landed on a strange planet, who meets various plant creatures called Pikmin. The spaceman, Captain Olimar, has a limited supply of air and must command the Pikmin he encounters to help him find necessary parts to repair his ship so he can leave and, well, not die from air loss. Along the way, though, you’ll also encounter other creatures that pose a threat to you new Pikmin buddies, so your goal is to aid them the best that you can, while they aid you, so that you minimize any casualties of the Pikmin population. It's a charming game with some beautiful graphics that felt like it was one-of-a-kind when it came out. If you haven't tried Pikmin before, I highly suggest doing so. It may not be as popular as Nintendo game franchises like Super Mario Bros., Donkey Kong, or the Legend of Zelda, but Pikmin is still one of Miyamoto's greatest creations.
