Yeah, Pikmin is really a great Gamecube game, although a little short. I've been waiting for Nintendo to release their new play contorl Pikmin 2 in the US so I can finally play it but of course Nintendo has to go and crush my dreams by making it Japan only. I suppose I can just pick up the Gamecube version for really cheap..
I have played it for a bit at my friend's house though and it is a lot of fun, better than the first in some ways. The best thing for me is that the timer is gone, and they have a pretty good multiplayer system.
