wtf. Pikmin? Where is the demonstrated demand. The GC versions sold under 1m. Wii U will sell less due to lower install base.

Get back to projects that are about making GAMES and selling them. This is a waste of resources and Miyamoto's time.


LOL The majority of Nintendos time in the gaming industry has been building commercial characters that attract children. I grew up watching Nintendo cartoons. I saw reruns of Mario, Zelda, Pokemon and Donkey Kong. Yeah....thats half the reason those titles sell so well. Its smart marketing for their core focus group.

Someone needs to tell Sony and Microsoft to do the same.

Right right right

but

it's PIKMIN.

They don't have appeal to children! The sales figures aren't good enough to justify this. Marketing won't change that.

And Sony did do this, with Sackboy everywhere. But Sackboy is also not popular enough to do that with.

And Sackboy is about 3x as popular as Captain Olimar, sales demonstrated.

I agree. Pikmin is a good little side-game, but they shouldn't be wasting too much time on it.



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

Since when does 3DS actually have Flipnote Studio?

This new Nintendo Direct Mini answers my question: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhpsK-nk098&feature=youtu.be

That's certainly one way of raising interest...



Have a nice day...

that is a good idea. Pikmin needs some media coverage before the debut on Wii U



Switch!!!
