Nintendo Are Still Doing A NEW Pikmin
Mactheridon: You missed out, i felt that the 2nd one was superior in many ways. Though sometimes more upsetting. Aaah! Thinking about it is making me want to go and play the games again. Polite Society.

Nintendo Are Still Doing A NEW Pikmin
I wanted more when I finished the first, but quickly got sick of the second one. Not sure what turned me off. lunarcore.
Nintendo Are Still Doing A NEW Pikmin
Im not sure whether or not its been made clear, but with these Gamecube remakes for Wii, are they just straight porting games, so the controls will work? or are they giving them visual/audio overhauls as well? Sandbox_Emperor.
Nintendo Are Still Doing A NEW Pikmin
Spidery_Yoda: @duderdude2: What I liked about the second one was that there wasn't a time-limit to beat the game (whereas in the first one you had 30 in-game days to get the parts that were needed to escape). ...
Nintendo Are Still Doing A NEW Pikmin
It was nice that the entire thing wasn't under a 30 day time crunch, and the multiplayer challenge mode is a blast. The underground levels were cool because you could take your time in each one (time didn't pass by). ...

im all for this, but like Kid Icarus, we're gonna need screenshots one day. my hate for nu-nintendo is on the backburner for at least a season after today's Punch-Out!! trailer, though. seriously, if they dump earthbound onto VC by the ...
Nintendo Are Still Doing A NEW Pikmin
Yeah, 2nd one sucked. The added mechanics just convoluted the gameplay and removed what made Pikmin great: The simplicity. Also, the random underground areas suuuuuuuuuuuucked. duderdude2.

ZetaCrossfire: you said it. Mactheridon.
Nintendo Are Still Doing A NEW Pikmin
I loved the first Pikmin. Wasn't so keen on the 2nd. It was so dark in those tunnels and all the levels were rehashes of the first games' ones. Spidery_Yoda.

Who thinks this'll find some way to shoehorn either the wii fit board or the wii speak microphone into the gameplay? Anyone? Anyone? danterandal19.
Nintendo Are Still Doing A NEW Pikmin
I do love Pikmin. I regret i never played Pikmin2. What i love about this game is that you finish up with an ant-like army. you become invincible and powerful. This is one of the titles i liked the most for the GC(yes, i have one). ...

Nintendo Are Still Doing A NEW Pikmin
This feels like it should be groundbreaking news. Sadly, in the end of the day, I think the biggest reaction to this is "meh". Which is too bad, since it might turn out to be incredibly entertaining. FeatherNET.
Nintendo Are Still Doing A NEW Pikmin
At the tail-end of E3, Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto uttered a single line. "We're making Pikmin". It was a good line, but also a vague line, one that led to a bit of speculation yesterday when Nintendo announced their first GameCube/Wii remake. Since that first game was Pikmin, pessimists wo...

Is 'Piktura' The New Pikmin For The New Nintendo DS? [Wild Speculation]
We do know that Nintendo is hard at work on another game in the Pikmin series. Miyamoto said it himself. But details on that game — its platform, title or design — have been nonexistent. What say you? For or against Pikmin on your DS? Would it push you over the edge to rebuy the Nintendo DS for a thir...

Viva Piñata: Trouble In Paradise Review: Maximum Candiosity
Rare's Viva Piñata, a series now four games deep thanks to two spin-offs, has always seemed like an odd fit for the Xbox 360 crowd. A property that seems squarely targeted at kids, "kidults" and Rare die-hards — oh, and the subject of merchandising opportunities — seems to have a "love it or h...

Insatiable Lust: New Nintendo Characters For 2008?
The Wii's pretty great. But its cast of stars? Little boring. We've seen them all before, Nintendo! The greater gaming consciousness desires new characters, to pick over, pore over, bitch over. The 'Cube got Pikmin, when's the Wii going to see a new, first-party hero? Miyamoto? Maybe next y...

Konami's First Wii Title
From a translated chunk of the Famitsu article: In Elebits, players move around a game world, attempting to find and collect Elebit creatures. Elebits are small and cute like Pikmin, but they actually serve as the energy source that makes the game's world move. The "Ele" in the name appears...
