It's Menow

Hey there, it's Menow. I beat Hey! Pikmin on my beloved New 3DS XL last week, and I have mixed feelings. (Slight spoilers ahead if you're a person who likes to play a game without ever having seen/heard anything about it.) Feeling 1: It's cute af.  The cuteness is harming me. Look at that image. The colors, the little chicken enemy dude, all the Pikmin bouncing around, carrying stuff, having a grand time with our pal Olimar. It's cute af.

I figured there had to be a better way to do it, so I watched some videos of people playing the game and it looks like most players worth anything play two-handed, like this champion: After a mediocre Switch experience, I downloaded the iOS version on my iPhone 7 Plus out of ...

Hey there, it's Menow. As always, no spoilers. I somehow have yet to complete the story? I have acquired all story-obtainable blades, and am praying to RNGesus for the last five I am missing.
