The NPC releases actually change up quite a bit of the game design in some cases... DKJB is practically a different game honestly, the levels are mostly entirely different layouts even.

I'm still sad we never got NPC Pikmin 2 in the US.  If Pikmin 3 comes out on Wii, maybe they can throw NPCP2 as a pre-order bonus or something?

Once again with your idiotic pred.......

hey... that's not so stupid

It really depends, if it releases in holiday 2011 and gets good marketing...... possibly... otherwise I say no

Stop hating on my predictions Lol...I will be the one laughing when Pikmin 3 outsells Epic Yarn and uDraw Studio outsells Sports Champions in America.

I was wrong with Udraw, and the only reason Pikmin has a chance with kirby it's because kirby sold below expectations.

Also the jpn pikmin numbers are funny:

Pos	Game		Japan
1	Pikmin (GC) Nintendo		0.56
2	Pikmin 2 (GC) Nintendo		0.56
3	New Play Control! Pikmin (Wii) Nintendo		0.19
4	New Play Control! Pikmin 2 (Wii) Unknown		0.19
Total	1.39	1.50	0.59	3.48

Anyway going by the links you gave me(info I already knew) Pikmin is just as big as Kirby. Pikmin has never had a Handheld version but the G.C versions kept up with the G.C Kirby... Prediction: Pikmin 3 will outsell Epic Yarn.

Yeah Pikmin seams to have a steady fan base in Japan Lol...they are not fans of remakes so I would say that Pikmin 3 should sell at least 560K again in Japan...but I think it could reach 1 Million in Japan alone. 

Also, why is everyone saying Epic Yarn performed below expectations? People are calling it Epic Flop Lol...I think that its selling great and should be able to get to 2 Million lifetime and become the best selling Home Kirby ever!

@jarrod  Ill take your word for it, I remember playing Mario Power Tennis one (which was probably my favorite GC game) and thinking this is BS where the hell it the real Wii Mario Tennis get on that NInty and no Sports Mix is not a replacement

I never played MPT (on GC or Wii) but I did pick up DKJB, Pikmin and the Prime Trilogy.  DKJB's basically a whole new game (seriously, it's so different), but Pikmin and Prime are basically the GC versions with better controls and some minor tweaks and fixes.

Was never into Tennis, but I do wish Camelot would do a Wii Mario Golf.  Use motion plus and include the RPG-ish 1player mode from the GB games, instant billion seller!

@jarrod  never was really into those DK spinoffs but hell yeah we need another Mario Golf game. Im shocked they have not done this yet. U too Sony where the hell is HOT shots golf with Move controls. Ninty, Sony you both need to get on this

OMG totally.  I'm still shocked Move didn't launch with Mingol 6 in Japan... wtf is Japan Studio doing?!

If you like 2D platformers, get the Wii version of DKJB.  It's basically just a traditional platformer now, which is fine in my book, I couldn't get into the GC Bongo version.

screw it, it'll put it on my pull list, looks interesting enough
