Have you ever wondered what it would feel like to be an outsider on planet Earth? This is the basic idea of Pikmin. Pikmin is a strategy/action game in which you’ve crash-landed your spaceship on an alien planet, with no hope of escape, as your spaceship has lost all of its parts.

This game made the Mario Kart series stand out from all the other racing games players had to choose from. This entry doubles the fun with the ability to play as 2 characters at the same time.

Many hardcore Nintendo fans were very skeptical of the entire Sonic the Hedgehog series, mainly because of console wars way back in 1991 (20 years ago), and the fact that no Sonic game was on a Nintendo system at the time. Although Sonic Advance on the Gameboy Advance came out first in 2001, there was never really a Sonic game to grace a Nintendo Console.
