Nintendo copying again...grr...

 

But although its an idiotic system, at least it's better than, say, Pokemon. There's ways to work around it.

Pokemon is absolutely ridiculous. You 100's of hours into your game, collect all the Pokemon, level up many Pokemon to 100, beat every trainer... and then when you want to start a new game you have to delete all of that. *Shakes fist*

At least in Pikmin, it's not as special to each person. If you catch what I mean.



I've always assumed it's Nintendo's cheap way to get you to buy the other version. Pikmin has no excuse though.

That's what I always thought as well. That's EA levels of evil!

I must admit, it is almost unbelievably scary.

4180 in singleplayer, 3070 in co-op. Time limit in the full game is 7:00 though, so that's another 1800 points more to get (each second left on the timer converts to 30 points).


Regardless of the time, how on earth did you manage to get such a higher score in singleplayer rather than co-op? O_o

Was your teamate counter productive lol?

It was the first level I played with my brother and he had to get used to the controls, the layout of the level and the new stuff in Pikmin 3. We platinumed the level on our second attempt and moved on. Later I played the level alone and picked up the two leaf enemies I forgot on an earlier run. By that point I knew the level already pretty well, so that's why the platinum score is much better in singleplayer.

I haven't played for scores yet and I am not sure if I will once I have all platinum medals. So far: 12/16 in singleplayer, 10/16 in co-op.

On a related note, apparently Miyamoto hinted at revealing what the secret files in the campaign are good for. They form a code (randomly generated for each save file), so hopefully Nintendo tells us how and where it is going to be used soon. I am quite sure it's going to unlock a secret ending, because that much was hinted at by the game.


Ah, now it all makes sense! Still, even with that extra minute, that single player score is uber impressive compared to mine. How did you do it!

Also I had to stop reading your post as soon as you said secret files. I don't haves the game yet so trying to avoid spoilers!

I prioritized killing enemies, taking down barriers and building the bridge before I picked up all the stuff. I am not sure if the demo level is identical to the first level in the full game, so maybe it's pointless to talk more about it. Some of the stats I remember: You get 50 Pikmin (red and rock, scattered around the level), there are ten enemies and two piles of treasure.



Hmm, I think you're right that they are different. Only 1 pile of treasure, only 7 enemies, and only 2 groups of 5 Rock pikmin around the level. Guess that would explain that, aswell as make my scores irrelevant. :L

Does anyone know if you are using the Wii remote + nunchuk with the Gamepad that you can use the IR pointer to point on the Gamepad as well? So I can point on enemies on screen to throw pikmin and then point on the map screen on the gamepad?


You can certainly play with IR when using gamepad in off screen mode. I used it to throw Pikmin on the Gamepad. The touch screen buttons stay on the pad and use can use them to call up map and info as normal. Not sure if you can point at map when using both screens.



Yes.

Really? Nice! Perhaps it'll even unlock more stuff than that as well. But who knows I guess, surprised no one else has really picked up on this actually.
