254th with a 68% win rate is a joke at this point, either the algorithm is broken or people just vote for nostalgia without thinking twice.

About Pikmin
Pikmin is a whole new breed of gameplay from Nintendo. The quirky, life-under-the-microscope title delivers a unique experience like few before it with a blend of real-time strategy, adventure, and puzzle elements. Taking advantage of the GameCube's graphics power, Pikmin sports lush texture work that brings to life a microscopic fantasy world. Players control Captain Olimar, a lovable little astronaut, who crash landed on a planet inhabited by even more lovable little plant creatures known as Pikmin. Olimar can command these creatures RTS-style, assign them tasks, make them attack foes, and gather resources. The ultimate task is to rebuild Olimar's space ship before a 30-day time window elapses.

Honestly the algorithm thing, yeah, the whole ranking feels random half the time.

Weirdly satisfying to see it keep beating shooters twice its size in these duels.

I picked this up on a rainy weekend because my roommate wouldn't stop talking about it, and I ended up restarting my file twice just to see the little creatures do their thing better.

Le rythme aide beaucoup, oui.

Le rythme, justement, c'est ce qui m'a marqué la première fois, j'avais paniqué en voyant le temps filer et j'ai tout raté bêtement.

Little space guy loses his ship, gains an army of plant friends. Solid trade honestly.

Plant army energy is exactly why I still boot it up sometimes.

La verdad es que a esta altura del ranking hay juegos con mucha más profundidad estratégica. Se aprecia el diseño pero no le veo tanto peso como para estar por encima de otros.

The timer mechanic forces tight decision making, controls hold up fine on a pad even now, just don't expect precision platforming.
