I still need to get that game. But it's too expensive for how short it is. :(

You don't finish the game in 15 hours in the first time; like, seriously, no. And even then, there's Mission Mode, which can easily make more than 20 hours of gameplay, not counting DLC.


I did XD But I didn't get all the fruits yet. I found Pikmin games pretty easy yet fun though. There was only 4-5 times that I lost more than 20 pikmin in one day. This includes the days that I had to retry as well.

So do you regularly lose at least one Pikmin per day? If so, it would sound too much for me lol 


Nope. I only lose twenty at a time when fighting bosses that I don't how to defeat. Actually, I just remembered a time when I didn't take out a spider web that was in the middle of my winged pikmin's carry route. That was painful >_<

It's not on Wii U, but "Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons" is an excellent game! I'm not sure what other platforms you own.


Wii U, 3DS, and a gaming PC but I'm not sure what its capable of. Isn't brothers on the Xbox one and PC? I'm curious how a traditional controller can you let control two characters while letting you use all the face buttons (or even shoulders) for one of them.

Brothers is on PC, Xbox 360, and PS3. The game's controls are pretty simple: You use each analog stick to move each character, and the shoulder buttons to interact.

I know this is not quite what you were getting at but the only one I am aware of is Animal Crossing: Sweet Day on Nintendo Land. If you are the guards you control 1 with the left hand and the second with your right using the analogs and the bumpers for each hand. Kind of challenging chasing multiple people at once and doing a good job of it with both guards simultaneously. Very simple game but my buddy and our kids got a lot of laughs from each other while playing it.


It's not, but it sounds interesting! I don't own Nintendo Land myself but if I ever decide to pick that up I'll definitely take a look at that mini-game.

To clarify why it's not, I was thinking about controlling the other character with less freedom than the main character you're using like Pikmin 3. Also, the two characters you control in that mini-game seem to have very basic actions since each character is controlled by a controller stick. My idea of controlling the other characters doesn't take away actions for the main character that can be performed by face buttons (A, B, X, Y).

Yeah, I knew what you were getting at, just that game popped into mind.  The extent of the controls are run with the analog, tackle with the coresponding sholder button. Very simple but they suggest if it is too hard to have a friend control the other guard and hold the gamepad between two people.
