In addition to replaying the main story, I also finally finished the Side Stories, new to Deluxe and, as far as I know, developed by the company that did the port, Japanese developer Eighting. Playing it now in normal amounts at normal times like a normal person, I was able to fully embrace the brilliance of Pikmin and immerse myself in the endlessly endearing world of 3. Earlier this summer I played it daily every day before dawn for a week (long story), so I suppose those groggy memories did not rekindle my love. Having just finished the game again, I was struck by how much I love this game. Note that the above image is not my screenshot, as I again stress that I would never allow the above situation to occur. With many daily resets, I ultimately succeeded in these goals in both files. This ensures that the people of Koppai will experience maximum prosperity, as well ensuring that I experience maximum gameplay. Second, in Deluxe at least, I collect every fruit before finishing the game. I simply cannot allow one of Miyamoto-sama's precious children to die. First, if a Pikmin dies, even a single one, I restart the day. Now, allow me tell you all how I have always sought to play Pikmin 3. This foolish compulsion drove me to play the game more, and as I quickly fell back in love with the game I decided to finish this second file before the launch of Splatoon 3. For a long time Pikmin 3 Deluxe has been towards the end of my third row of games, but after the Splatfest its position was threatened. I always sort my games by playtime on Nintendo Switch, and I sometimes use this screen as an indication of my habits and what games I have neglected. I returned to the game for a very silly reason. At some point since then I started a new file on the normal difficulty, annoyingly labelled "Hard," and for a long time it languished. I bought it the day it came out and started playing on its new easier difficulty mode, but I didn't finish the game until February of the next year. That was many years ago now, but it hasn't even been two since the Nintendo Switch port, Pikmin 3 Deluxe, was released. I had been aware of Mario Kart 7, Nintendo Land, and LEGO City Undercover before it, but it wasn't until 13 year old Raccoon was exposed to the wonderful world of Pikmin 3 that he became truly obsessed with a game prior to its release. I often consider this to be the first video game for which I was truly hyped.
