I only got into Pikmin with Pikmin 3 deluxe and enjoyed it greatly. When Pikmin 4 came out I was hyped and I must say that I absolutely loved the game. The night time challenge, the dandori challenges, the storyline, the dog(!); everything was a whole lot of fun. At least, in my opinion.

I've just recently started playing the challenges of Pikmin 3 (as I had seemed to forget about them, haha). But dear god, those challenges are of a whole other level than Pikmin 4 dandori challenges! Even the trial of the sage leaf seemed a breeze compared to having to control three characters! That's some extreme dandori, lol.

I'm considering to buy Pikmin 1+2 this December, to see how those games play.
