Focus: Pikmin

About this episode

The episode explores the origins of the game Pikmin and discusses various aspects related to its creator, Miyamoto.

I want to be the very best... like no one ever was! To plant them is my real test, to pluck them is my cause! Yes, it's the game that used one of the other vowels, PIKMIN! Ash and Cliff go into the origins, question how truthful Miyamoto is, if he likes boiled eggs, and whether the cold weather has caused shrinkage. Also, we talk about the origins of the game. A bit.
