darksnowman Posted June 19, 2011 Posted June 19, 2011 I have a spare copy of the original Pikmin on the Wii if you want it? I will send it out this week for you. For real? If there are no other takers then sure!
Falcon_BlizZACK Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 Please, PLEASE make sure to play it... Its kind of saddening the amount of people who has yet to. ITS GREAT errr! :'(
mike-zim Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 I played it for a while on the GC. I am tempted to get it on the Wii with the new controlls
darksnowman Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 So I'm the only poor sod that hasn't got Pikmin 1? Haha, not so cos now I do! The postie brought it on Thursday but I missed him so picked Pikmin up yesterday from the depot. : peace:

Fused King Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 Just read this on nintendoeverything.com Miyamoto on his excitement of bringing back Pikmin on Wii U? ?Originally, I was making Pikmin 3 would be launched on the Wii platform. Because the Wii U is capable of HD quality pictures, and will be accompanied by the subscreen on your hand. I thought that I would be able to make a Pikmin that was closer to my ideal. I am now actually enjoying myself, working on the game.? Just to get some dialogue on Pikmin 3 going again, who is just creaming in his/her little pink panties at the thought of this at launch?
Fierce_LiNk Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 Pikmin 3 at launch would be sick. It won't happen, though. We'll definitely get some kind of Ridge Racer game. In fact, I don't think a console is allowed to launch without a Ridge Racer. Or Monkey Ball.
Retro_Link Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 I'd put money on it being a definate launch [window] title.
Fierce_LiNk Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 I'd put money on it being a definate launch [window] title. If by launch window, you mean about 2-6 months after launch, I think that could be possible. We won't get it at Day One, though. Would love it if it did happen. In fact, I hope we get some footage from Nintendo at E3 over what's coming. It's what they do these days, show stuff as close to the launch of the game as possible. If we don't see anything about Pikmin at E3, I'd be worried.
Cube Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 I think they'll use it to show of the console and it's capabilities, then leave it until about a year. They'll also delay it so they can put in poorly-designed left-handed controls.

Leave the trolling to the professionals.
Cube Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 TROLL. There are two analogues on the uPad. Ergo, left handed out of the box. Actually, some games on consoles with dual analogue omit one kind of left handed gamer (ones that use southpaw controls), even though it's as simple as swapping the stick functions.
Fused King Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 Haven't they been working on it for about 4 years now? Why delay it another year?
Jav_NE Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 It depends how long it has been decided that it will be a Wii U game - i'm guessing it was pretty early on, but then it depends on what ideas Miyamoto wants to implement to utilise the new platform, let alone the HD aspect. I'm confident it will be close to launch, if not at launch though. It is classic Nintendo to keep quiet about something like this.
Cube Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 The internet really does need a joke font. Perhaps comic sans... Wait, that's just a joke font.
Eightbit Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 Despite being stupidly rubbish at Pikmin (some would call me a Pikmin genocide enforcer) I would love this to be a launch title on Wii U. I could imagine that you would have your army stats on the tablet, such as how many pikmin you have, and it would be SOOO much easier to seperate them into squads by just using the touch screen. I amagine the pikmin character models to be updated aswell to make their skin look more vegetable like.

It's quite fun seeing all of your Pikmin behind you as you're walking. But, it's a motherbitch to try and navigate, especially if you've got obstacles or dangerous things in the way. Touchscreen could easily be used for that. The focus should still be on Olimar, though and him navigating around the map with his army behind him. Just, make the movement easier.

How about you being able to draw the formations in which the Pikmin should follow you on your Upad. Think of the formations in LKS, but with your own personal touch
Grazza Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 Pikmin is probably the Nintendo game that will benefit from HD graphics alone. Just by having more pixels devoted to each tiny object will be a benefit in itself. To be honest, I'm not all that excited for a new Pikmin, although like I say I think the fact it'll be boosted by HD will get my interest. I agree with the comments about the Pikmin needing to be easier to separate. Well, they were easy to separate in Pikmin 2, but using the whistle to gather them all too often collected Pikmin of the wrong colour as well. Also, I wasn't too keen on having Olimar and another character (I forget his name) to control. Other than that, I'm interested to see what Pikmin 3 will be like.
D_prOdigy Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 On the one hand, Miyamoto is working on it personally and said it should be ready around launch, but on the other hand, Miyamoto is working on it personally and said it should be ready around launch.
MicroLovePony Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 If I remember correctly at last year's E3 when Miyamoto announced the game was being moved to Wii U, he said something along the lines of seeing it sooner than we might think due to it being in development for a long time on Wii. Maybe it might make it as a launch game but that's just me being optimistic. Still though...
