The guy beat Pikmin on Difficult mode last week and is now playing in Ultra-Spicy Mode. I think Pikmin has been good for him overall, but I’m a little ambivalent. It’s gotten him to write a lot, which he needed practice with, and he does seem better about time pressure and planning now. But it’s such a concentrated sensory experience that it makes things like drawing or riding a bike seem not very compelling. Though he wasn’t doing much of that before, anyway.
