Posted January 20, 2009 Don't forget, "Full Price" never really means full price for Wii games in the same way as it does on other consoles. They'll be £30, same as pretty much every other new Wii release. That's a good £50 less than what I'd have to pay for Gamecube versions of Pikmin 2 and Chibi Robo. I never intended to pick up the games I already own. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 20, 2009 These, surely, have to be 19.99!!! Surely!?!?!? then again re4remake was about 30 when it was released but that had SO may extras. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 20, 2009 These, surely, have to be 19.99!!! Surely!?!?!? I honestly thought it would be that price. then again re4remake was about 30 when it was released but that had SO may extras. Really? I thought it was £24.99 when it came out and online was £19.99. Best £20 i've ever spent Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 20, 2009 I really won't mind paying full price for Chibi Robo and other rare GC games since they were already more expensive than that when originally out, and they're on eBay for even more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 20, 2009 A bit naive to think the price would be £19.99. This is Nintendo after all... Play.com has Pikmin for £27.99 and Mario Power Tennis for £32.99. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 21, 2009 Amazon are selling Pikmin for £24.99. Marvsllous. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 21, 2009 I don't really need any of these right away. So I'll probably just wait until they inevitably end up in the bargain bin for $19.99. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 22, 2009 GAME has lowered the price of Pikmin to £24.99 (RRP £29.99), and for some odd reason, Mario Power Tennis is listed as a PSP game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 23, 2009 Having ADORED the N64 Mario Tennis (seriously...best thing ever) I never got the Gamecube version as I heard it wasn't as good. (Looked a bit too gimmicky). However, one of you guys would surely have bought it. Was it good? Some impressions would be good from someone who knows what they are talking about. I'd pick it up for the cube but it's still around £30! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd pick it up for the cube but it's still around £30! Completey agree! Mario Tennis 64 was absolutely awesome... awesome! especially in multiplayer. And I didn't buy the sequel because of the addition of the character special shots and the gimmicks. However, you can apparently turn off the character special shots, and I think the motion controls will add a lot of fun. And it's only £25, so I think I'm gonna get this!

Posted January 23, 2009 Yeah I've played it on the GC, and while the graphics are far superior to the N64 Mario Tennis, the gameplay seems to lack something. Even with power shots turned off (which is defo the best way to play) the game just felt slower than Mario Tennis 64. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 23, 2009 NGamer have a Japanese import review of Pikmin in their latest issue. A cynical reissue to exploit the game-starved hardcore on Wii? This is far too complicated for your mum to play. Still, it's a genuine (prequel to a) classic. 80% Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 24, 2009 Well I never liked the game in the first place... but that seems like a stupid summarising comment.. and lol wern't they the magazine that gave the innovation 0 and chrono ds 3 or 4? ngamer.. lol lets never forget they gave red steel 90% :D also hopefully mario will be done right as the wii is really crying for a classic tennis game.. I would have preferred if they waited for motion plus with a lot of these classic gamecube games... so how long do you think till they try sunshine? Somehow I think the wii might be lacking buttons for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 25, 2009 You've never read the magazine, correct? http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=150928 we don't always have to buy a magazine for every article..hence the internet.. 9.0 is a score far too much for red steel.. I think the fact that they had an exclusive worldwide review got to their heads a little.. But that's irrelevant I think a lot of their scores and reasoning(like I mentioned above like you ignored) Is .. well weird.. anyway... The new range of updates gamecube games is for the hardcore.. I Don't mind it at all because Let's face it at this stage most wii owners never owned a gamecube and most who had would rebuy these games at a cheap price.. but not pikmin.. wasn't my cup of tea I may get the second one when it comes though.

Posted January 25, 2009 The new range of updates gamecube games is for the hardcore. I'm not so sure actually. With branding the range with 'Play on Wii' and 'New Play Control' it seems they're aiming for the new casual market, much like the success they've had with Touch Generations (although, it seems a poor choice of phrase). Obviously, the core will lap them up but i think Nintendo is pitching to the new audience. but not pikmin.. wasn't my cup of tea I may get the second one when it comes though. Why not Pikmin, out of interest. I admit the sequel improves the formula, but the original Pikmin is a true masterpiece, surely? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 25, 2009 I'm probably the only person to think this but I see Pikmin 1 as the superior product out of the two titles. Yes, I liked the freedom the second one offered you by not constraining you to a time limit of 30 days but I just didn't like the whole dungeon thing. Really didn't improve the game at all and, in my eyes, detracted from the experience somewhat. I actually liked the 30 day thing from the first title as it felt more like the strategy title it set out to be as you had to work out precisely what you were doing each day to make sure you got as much or all you could. Anyways, I'll probably pick up the first one although the £30 price tag's a bit high. I think most shops'll be selling it nearer to £20, hopefully, once it's released. Might pick up Mario Tennis as I didn't play it on the gamecube but was a fan of the GBC version. Played that to death. Mainly waiting for the Metroid Primes to get their re-releases along with Chibi Robo and Wind Waker and, hopefully, the Baten Kaitos games (yes both of them so us in Europe can finally play the prequel).
