Nintendo's Pikmin series of real-time strategy games didn't start out as a cooperative series. The first game was single-player only. That changed when Pikmin 2 arrived on the Gamecube way back in the innocent year of 2004, adding a cooperative Challenge Mode. Switch owners can now experience that classic co-op razzle dazzle, because Pikmin 1 and Pikmin 2 have just been released as digital downloads. Buy them individually (2 is the one to get) or together for a nice discount, play the heck out of them, and then you'll be ready for the upcoming Pikmin 4.

It's been quite some time since Pikmin 3's intrepid captains crash landed on a mysterious planet, but memories of its enjoyable co-op experience have persisted nonetheless.  Thankfully, we won't have to rely on memories (or our old Wii U consoles) much longer, as Pikmin 3 Deluxe is headed to the Nintendo Switch on October 30th of this year.
