Pikmin
Posted on May 05, 2009 under Reviews |One GameCube title I always wanted to play was Pikmin. It seemed every gamer I knew who had played it thought it was a fun game, so I’m not sure why I never played it before now. With the re-release of Pikim with New Play Control for the Nintendo Wii, I figured it was time to give this game a try.
In Pikmin, these small creatures help you put together your space ship that has landed on their planet. You can command the Pikmin to do your bidding like moving your ship engine to the rest of the ship. You can toss Pikmin to areas that they can’t reach to retrieve buttons that are colored and have a number on them. The number is how many Pikmin it takes to move it. The color is the color of Pikmin. The Pikmin will take it back to their ship where more Pikmin will sprout up out of the ground. Then you will pick them and have even more Pikmin at your command.
Pikmin is fun but I’m not sure the Wii version is worth the extra money. It’s only $30 but Pikmin for the GameCube is under $20. I don’t think any of the game is actually different. But I now know that Pikmin would be a title worth buying because it is fun.
With the New Play Control, you use the Wiimote and Nunchuk to play the game.
