I agree with you about Nintendo constantly starting a game with a sleeping hero. There was the modern Zelda games, Super Mario Sunshine (Well...techinically.), EarthBound series (Except for the first game), and many more games.
Thinking about rebuying this game for wii. initally bought it but then sold it. But it looks interesting to play. what would u recommend bro? cheapest I can find it for is 20 dollars at gamestop.
the pikmin sounds like minions from the overlord games all incredibly stupid the red sound like the green and brown, the yellow sound like the red ones (except no building) and the blue ones are like the blue minions (PS the Overlord games are m+) and the captain looks like the main charicture from microscopic Morton (A kids tv show) (Sorry for typos)
idk if this has been mentioned but the Smoky Progg is an OPTIONAL boss that can be bypassed by not touching the egg; it's also pretty cool that Pikmin 3 has been confirmed to be in the making [w00t!]
PIKMIN 1 AND 2 soooooo much fun, so hard but satisfying to beat. Great review!
Yay, 3 has been announced! Even on the DS it should work very well. This has got to be the most original and unique game I've ever seen and had the joy to play.
I just recently got this game (I missed it when it first came out and I was probably too young to be able to beat it anyway) and I love it. Great review, but I think the day/night part fits in with the game perfectly. I do think that it would've been interesting if the game let you stay on the planet at night and there would be insane amounts of enemies as a consequence, but that's just me. Also, does the smoky frog or whatever only appear on day 15? I didn't ever fight him. Maybe I'll go back.
Actually, no it isn't. It's about symbiosis. The pikmin NEEEEEEEEEEEEEED Olimar. If you don't believe me, just take all your pikmin and tell them to do NOTHING!!! However, I will admit it is a little mean to leave the planet without doing anything about the pikmin...
ik ik i posted that before i saw/heard about the E3 confrence and i meant they proted pikmin 1 because all it is , is pikmin on a wii with new controls and no bonuses or anything and i think nintendo could have spent there money/time into a new sequel instead of a port
lol you need to get all the NEEDed parts there are 5 parts you dont need that are like personal to olimar so you probly got some of the not needed parts and missed a needed part like i duno a charger?
I am not convinced of saving for npc pikmin 2, fue story is weaker and the cave and enless time sistem lost the feeling of urgency, even if I liked the new additions
Oh man, too bad I missed this game when it came out! But thank goodness it is coming to Wii! I'll get to play it for the first time, or for the first time again, or how Nintendo Power says it! :)
I heard they're making a remake of this game with Wii controls, I hope they add the special elements added to Pikmin 2 like where it doesn't take 30 seconds to call a pikmin -__-'
Pikmin is awesome. Original, smooth gameplay, awesome music, epic plot...
Yeah, the music is serene, but that's what Shiguru miyamoto thought of when he made it. I am stuck in an annoying part in SMG,so I'm playing this ATM I like it beter than 2 mainly bcuz when you kill something, you get more Pikmin, instead of just money, which is only used once.
Pikmin isn't an RPG, it's a platformer. RPG's have a turnbase battle system, while platforming is mostly collecting items, learning new moves, and exploring new areas. Also, the reason you do not play at night is because the creatures all wake up at night, so it would make the game even more hard for you to play.
Those aren't considered true RPG's though, they are hybrid action RPG's which tbh fail epicly, RPGs should be turn based, I would say pikmin is more of a RTS or a platformer than an RPG
Tough choice... I'll put it this way, if you've played alot of Mario games you might wanna try something new and get Pikmin, but New Super Mario Bros. is a great game so if you really like Mario get it anyway because it's one of the best in the series.
Wow, pikmin 1 is being remade so that they can get the control scheme down. Miyamoto actually announced a brand new pikmin ganme for Wii.|It was in a interview not up on stage.
nah pikmin woz 20 £ on release i reckon it woz 50 £ for pikmin 2 because pikmin had gained a reputation for being an anjoyable RPG by then and they decided to milk their consumers for all they could
Because the original is older than the sequel and thus costs less money over time. Most Gamecube games start out at $50 and decrease in price over time.
I remember playing the first one when it came out. If I recall, it was anything but relaxing! The time-limit was so nerveracking. So were some of the monsters. It was fun though. I ought to get it again, I lost my copy.
I agree I liked pikmin 2 alot more becuase there was no day limit so I could explore forever. I wasn't rushed. Could u please do a pikmin 2 review or a pikmin3 review if it comes out?
Great review as always KnightWing01! I liked both games but I like you prefer the 2nd one over the first one. I also liked your New Intro and Your Story on the beginning.
