> Pikmin 4
As a long-time Pikmin fan it is absolutely wild to me to see Pikmin 4 in a list of AAA games.
There's nothing else like that series in terms of aesthetics, in-game lore or gameplay. It's always been its own singular sub-genre which screams "indy game", and the mediocre sales reflected that. Except that it just happens to also be a first-party Nintendo game that Shigeru Miyamoto is personally invested in.
And now Pikmin 4 suddenly blows everyone's expectations away.
