i found it easier to play on the wii. How hard is it to Point a remote at the screen and pull the b button. Its not exactly rocket science.
Also the 2nd pikmin is due for release in april if i remember rightly.
These are obviously just precursers to Pikmin 3 coming out in order to help it sell better.
I think your mum might be either arthritic or retarded if she couldn't unferstand the incredibly easy concept of pikmin. May I be the first to say it's a 7/8 year old game and still fresher and more original than most games on the the current next gen.
Are they taking the piss? If anyone thinks so, just buy the GC edition for a fiver and have some fun! They are taking the piss though if they're releasing the far superior sequel with 2P in a couple of months though! pikmin is my absolute favourite game of all time. Ngamer mag was always a bit of a moaning self loving mag anyway. But i loved pikmin and can see the reason why they are re-releasing it. Gamecube had about 20 million owners, the Wii already is around the 40 million mark. That means there is logically a whole bunch of people who have never played pikmin the first time round. Man, i'm so disappointed by this. With two current Nintendo hardware iterations both with control methods almost begging for a new Pikmin game we get a remake of (an admittedly fantastic) game. I'm just hoping this is nintendo reminding fans of this great franchise before letting it out the bag that we're a month away from a new Pikmin game at E3 this year. One that connects the Wii and DS for different sections of the game...
...a boy can dream shovelware...your kidding right?
How many people had a Gamecube???
Exactly. How many played Pikmin?
Not many. This is a great move by Nintendo to allow the millions of new wii owners to experience a fantastic game. For those who have already played this and the other New wii play games coming....I understand why you would be annoyed but it's not dented nintendo's new games cycle. They will be coming mid to end of this year. No. Pikmin was the reason i kept my gamecube for so long.Very charming game with wonderfull atmosphere
Sounds like i will need to adapt to the new controls but if i like them more, i'll likely sell my new sealed Pikmin2 by which time the price will have plummeted on this And good luck finding Pikmin for under a fiver at the moment may I be the first to say TWAT It seems a shame that they didn't release Pikmin & Pikmin 2 on one disc instead of two separate versions three months apart. Most will wait for the sequel surely.
I wonder how far they will take this Game Cube to Wii remake idea though, I know there is a huge calling for Metroid Prime 1 and 2 (again I believe these should be on one disc for value and appeal)
The upcoming Mario Power Tennis should really be bundled with Mario Golf: TT or Mario Smash Football or Mario Superstar Baseball.
What's next, Wind Waker, Mario Sunshine, MK Double Dash, Luigi's Mansion??? Its funny because all of these games could benefit from wii style controls. Especially mario sunshine aiming the FLUDD was a pig.
With the release and success of the phantom hourglass windwaker wouldn't be a bad choice either.
Theu won't bother with mario superstar baseball though as the sequel is already out in the US and Japan. It's really good too. a mix of the baseball on wii sports and mario strikers is the best way to describe it.
I do think that they should all be released around a £20 price point though. Then againyou're average budget titel for the 360 or PS3 is £25. This isn't shovelware. This is however a port which isn't much better.
The controls are brilliant from what I have seen and heard, but the game was perfectly fine before and won't benefit much from them.
Stop wasting resources and make a new Pikmin Nintendo!
I'm pretty sure that has already been confirmed (released separately though). I have a feeling that the games will become a whole lot easier because of the controls. having actually played the wii version. The control do make the game slightly easier, but at the same time even more enjoyable to play. |
