Episode 419: Pikmin (Patreon)

Our string of 20th anniversary extravaganzas finally comes to an end this week as we offer a little love to the GameCube, too. In celebration of the best launch-window release for GameCube, we look back at the charming, inventive, and long-overdue-for-that-sequel-Miyamoto-keeps-promising Pikmin series.

Description:

Henry Gilbert, Bryan Auer, and Wesley Fenlon heed the call of Jeremy Parish's whistle and race to gather as much information about Nintendo's Pikmin franchise as possible, then return it to the Onion before sunset. Edits: Greg Leahy; artwork: Shaan Khan.
