Little reminder ?
Pikmin 1 and 2 are video games released in 2001 and 2004 respectively for the Nintendo GameCube console. They were developed by Nintendo EAD under the direction of Shigeru Miyamoto. Players control the series’ main character, Captain Olimar, who is a miniature alien who must explore an unknown planet and recover parts of his crashed spaceship with the help of the Pikmin, helpful plant creatures. Both games were well received by critics for their unique gameplay and charming period atmosphere.
Already available but
We learn at the end of the Nintendo Direct that Pikmin 1 and Pikmin 2 are sold for 29.99 euros each on the Nintendo eShop. It is also possible to recover them in the Pikmin 1+2 bundle for 49.99 euros. Without wishing to relaunch the debate, these are obviously dematerialized versions.
Nintendo has however planned the coup and will offer the bundle version, that is to say Pikmin1 + 2 in a physical version but it will be necessary to wait for the September 22, 2023. This will allow players to own a physical copy of the game instead of downloading it online, or do both for the more impatient.

Finally, once again, we would not want to relaunch the debate…
