I thought Pikmin 2 was the worst Pikmin, the dungeons weren’t that fun, there was too much treasures that wasn’t fun to collect, and the story kind of sucked.
But 4 has a rewind feature which would let you re-approach a situation. Unlike 2, in which if you make a wrong move, loosing a bunch of Pikmin on the final level, you’d have to go through it all again.
I’m excited to give these a go! Does it matter which one you start with?
