After giving up on my search for Pikmin 1 and 2 on GC, to play on my Wii i lost all hope of ever playing these wonderful gems again.
And then like some Psychic wonder doll, Nintendo announce The New Play Control series.
I received my copy of Pikmin yesterday . . . . and it was a very very sad occasion
Why??
Because this damned awesome 8 year old game LOOKS better than 90% of all other games on Wii. 3rd parties are ass hats.
The same old charm is there, the colourful palette and the same old shame as any of your Pikmin passes away
One cool new feature (As far as i am aware) is the ability to change the colour of Pikmin you are holding through button presses rather than letting go and trying to isolate the one you want.
The Wii controls were made for this game, i know the GC controls were all kinds of awesome, but trust me when i say you'll love them. I really can't wait until last generations best game (Pikmin 2) is released in this range (Hopefully they'll make the co-op play online!)
As for looking forward to Pikmin 3, all i can say is if we get this game, bought up to date a little more, with some online and some new pikmin, i'm willing to pay for me and anyone i know to play it.
god bless you Nintendo and all who sail upon you.
3rd parties . . . . Shame on you!
