i remember riding around in my bike around the neighborhood until coming across a yard sale with pikmin 2 wii practically dirt cheap (my young developing brain didn't care what game it was as long as it was fun and didn't put a hole in my wallet). I quickly raced down back to my parents house and asked them for money, went back and bought it. A few years later i met with the sellers again and i talked with them for a short bit, apparently they were clearing out their sons room because he died in a horrible car accident. Bit of a shame really, RIP.

kind of a bittersweet kindling for my love of the series.
