i honestly hate all these NPC games, to me it just seems lazy and them trying to milk more money in lieu of actually making a new game, this go for you too Sony and your HD remakes but i would probably buy Pikmin 2 as i didnt get around to playing this series that much

It would be one thing if the Wii didn't outsell the GC 4 to 1 such that there are many more Wii owners that never had the chance to play those titles during the GC days and if new iterations in the series were not also in development.  But neither situation is true so it's hardly a lazy or an illogical software series.

@viper1  but what is true is that the Wii is fully backward compatible, its not like those Wii owners have to get an older system just to play those games they might have missed out on. Ninty doesnt do it as much so It is not that big of a gripe to me. i was more annoyed when the line was first introduced

1. Those titles are no longer in print and many stores no longer carry GC titles at all.

2. You remove the whole concept of New Play Control but forcing GC control method.

@viper1

your first point is kinda irrelevant, we live in the AMAZON & EBAY and GAMESTOP era its not like those games are impossible to find. Most of them are pretty cheap too. Only way I can personally justify not getting the Cube game is if it is cheaper than the Wii one.

your 2nd point is another problem I have with the NPC there cramming motion control into a game that was never meant to have it, and it is usually hit or miss. Look at the crap storm that was Mario Power Tennis NPC, that sucked. (just make a new one Ninty!)

NPC Pikmin 1 2 are great, the Wii controls are made for such games and make them far superior to the original Gamecube-Pad games.

The NPC Donkey Kong Jungle Beat is also a great game (and is a different kind of game than the original).

NPC Mario Tennis sucks.

NPC Metroic Prime 1 2 benefits from the new play control, like the pikmin games do.

You've never priced Pikmin 2 on eBay or Amazon, have you?  Some unopened copies are going for over $100.

I hope Wiind Waker comes as well maybe with an extra dungeon or two :D … probably not though but seriously WW with WM plus baton controls, conducting music will be more fun than with the GC C stick.


This is the one game that I would love to see remade. The problem is that the GC version was done so well that it's basically timeless, no matter how advanced consoles get.
