Is this supposed to be a new pikmin game or something else?

AshuraZro · Dec 24, 2008

This would be the re-release of the original gamecube title ported to the Wii and featuring Wii controls. There are multiple GCN games receiving this treatment (Donkey Kong Jungle Beat already has).

Gaisuto · Dec 24, 2008

I'm actually curious and interested in trying this out. See how the new controls work.

Edgedancer · Dec 24, 2008

I wonder if this title will also have the 002 error. I cannot see why not.

lolsjoel · Dec 24, 2008

Any chance this has English text?

samagon · Dec 24, 2008

I am perfectly fine with Nintendo releasing GCN games on the Wii, but come on why not both Pikmin games on one disc? Oh that's right so they can milk people again a second time. Anybody knows how much these re releases are going for over there?

Play-Asia is selling it for $40, which is actually considerably cheaper then I see a lot of games going for. Most Wii games I see are in the range of $50-75 (more popular games, like Bleach, hit the higher end of the price spectrum).

The list price in Japan is 3800 yen. A bit cheaper than most new Wii games.

Cyan · Dec 24, 2008

oh, this japanese release isn't scrubbed.
when it could have compressed well, it isn't scrubbed.

Is there any US release date announced yet ? I didn't find any.
I'm waiting for pikmins and metroids games, just for the fun to play them again on wii

alex · Dec 24, 2008

Never played Pikmin but I heard good things, but I never got around to getting it.(didn't mod/homebrew enable my GCN)

spiritofcat · Dec 25, 2008

I tried playing the original GC Pikmin games on my Wii, but my GC memory card doesn't have much space for save games, so a native Wii version would be very nice.

Galacta · Dec 25, 2008

Im used to Pikmin for the GC.

Could you play the Wii version with a GC controller?

Edgedancer · Dec 25, 2008

Unless you already know what this game si about, steer clear of the title until it is in english.

I believe you cannot. Not too sure though. They didnt let you use the GCN controls in the Donkey Kong game.

Its coming put March 2009 in the States.

Treflex · Dec 25, 2008

Does this have any improved graphics or anything else besides the wii controls?

dinofan01 · Dec 25, 2008

^^^Nope. Just new controls and thats it. Hopefully theres some new levels like for Jungle Beat but I m pretty sure they said no new content for Pikmin in an interview.

bgf · Dec 25, 2008

i thought it supports 16:9 display though. Hope someone can find it out soon

A Divine Unicorn · Dec 25, 2008

this game stressed me out too much. get to the 30 days and i just fail.

pikmin 2 was more of what i was looking for. more relaxed/laidback.

Because of the fact that this is a rerelease I think that's pathetic! Shame on you Nintendo.

(off course it's all about marketing, just to see how this will turn out in Japanland, if people don't buy it they will never release it outside JP)

EDIT: Oh, by the way, I did just play DK Jungle Beat, and that I loved even better than with the Bongos, for a while that was fun, but with the Nunchuck it plays better
