The Pikmin Suicides [ClassicRadar]
Revisiting another classic GamesRadar feature from yesteryear
Cute little Pikmin who (still) just don't want to live any more
You may be familiar with Andy Riley's superb book The Bunny Suicides. We liked it so much, we thought we'd create a homage to it, using everyone's favourite flower-headed creatures: The Pikmin.
These Pikmin burned too bright for this world. Rest in pieces.
