Because its not that great.......

I did have fun with NPC but have no motivation to go back and play it more. I doubt I will be going getting NPC 2 or the new 3. It is fun but at the same time I dunno something about it....
I completely understand if people do like it though its just not my game.

I also think this game would have failed sales wise if it wasnt for Nintendo making it Im pretty sure most people agree. =P


you do know there are people who liked the game. You should try pikmin 2, it consider to
be a improvement of the first one

Err  yea I do know....I even say it in my post....

Yea I heard 2 was big improvment but I dunno I will probably get around to it eventually

I disliked the first one as well but Pikmin 2 is so vastly superior you should at least give it a rent.

Because it has no cool recognizable mascot

Metroid, mario, zelda all have cool & coolerer characters in em

pikmin are cute though :o not that it makes the game a fun series or anything.

Switch is 9th generation. Everyone else is playing on last gen systems! UPDATE: This is no longer true

What's wrong with a pikmin as a mascot

Off topic: Anyone know how to quote more than one person for one posts

I agree with valkyria's decision, it is both neutral & correct.

Als you CAN'T have pimin as a mascot as thye look like blobs

Zelda/Link, Mario/Luigi, Metroid all have a personality



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

Needs more Sonic.

OT: I guess debuting on Nintendo's worst selling console didn't help matters. However, they still both eclipsed a million, which is a good benchmark to surpass for any series. I will give NPC a go one of these days.

i have never played a pikmin game, the quirky characters were a turn off

How do I put sonic in that picture He'll drown

OT: Actually virtual boy was and I think that it could reach 2 million if The GC version hit a million

He's like Jesus.......he can walk on water! Well, run on water at least.

When I said console, I meant home console. Sorry for not making that clear. Pikmin 3 does have a good chance of getting to 2 million.



Green Penguin on 10 June 2009

I think Pikmin 3 has a good chance of reaching 3 million+

Everyone lol when I say that but I mean it!
