Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Miyamoto says Pikmin 3 will be more like Pikmin 1 than 2

oh my god, back again to the 30 days limit



Around the Network

Pikmin 2 was way better than Pikmin 1 but not because of the lack of a time limit. It was a lot longer and more treasure to collect, that's why.

I welcome the reintroduction of a time limit.

Who said anything about a "30 days limit"?

It could be 40, 100 or 10000 days.

The 30 day limit on Pikmin 1 did not make the game hard at all. I've finished it in as little as 18 days.

I would seriously reconsider wanting to buy it if it had a 30-day limit like Pikmin 1. I've been thinking about giving Pikmin a chance, but i really don't like games with overarching time limits (that's also what scared me clean off of Majora's Mask, which i've never mustered the guts to play)

Where did you see "30 days" in the OP?

Did Pikimin 2 have a daily time limit? Like a day and night cycle.

uhm.. is that for real? I don't believe you... if so I don't wanna be the one who is gonna tell him..

I know about the Song of Time, if that's what you mean. I actually have "played" Majora's Mask before, but it was me borrowing a friend's cartridge just to dick around with all of the masks (including Fierce Deity), but i still don't like the idea of time management.


i'm not particularly fast or good at gaming (skill wise) but i didn't feel overly pressured by the time limits in MM.  i wouldn't let that scare you away from what is arguably the best LoZ ever made.

Pikmin 2 had a day/night cycle, you had to get all your Pikmin in before the end of the day.

It had no limit on the number of days though, and time was suspended when you entered the caves.

No, and i suppose i could be overthinking it.

I wouldn't mind if the missions are timed as such, but i would be bothered by an overarching limit.



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

Awesome, I loved the first Pikmin. Removing the time limit in Pikmin 2 made the game feel less focused to me. Pikmin 1 was not so difficult. I'm pretty sure I can get all of the pieces in about 20 days, and still have a good amount of time to just do whatever, make more Pikmin and stuff.

Every Zelda game is "arguably the best LoZ ever made." Majora's Mask is probably the least accessible game in the series. It's not for everyone.
