I'm Trying to understand the fanbase of pikmin. So I can find out why its not like other major nintendo
franchises. So to better understand this. I want to know what you thought of the game before you play
it and than after you played it.


What I thought of the game before I played it. Well.... I was 7 when I saw the trailer on
Luigi's mansion. I thought it was a weird game. I wanted to buy it. But I stalk the game
and envy it before I got it. When I borrowed from a friend in Febuary 09. I was
surprised on how good it is. I was like wow. How much I missed. I play the game beat it
than play it over and beat again. Mind this was on GC. I decided than to buy Pikmin NPC
and Deadly creatures the same time. I since Have been trying to beat the game on 9 days.
My record is 10 days.

I told you my story now tell me yours we'll I take notes
Thanks for those who better understand the franchise. I'll post my thoughts
after I look on other websites. 

i saw pikmin in an ad in EGM when i still read that magazine. i think i was like 8. i was interested cuz it looked different from the other games i had played and a friend said it was really good. so i got it out of curiosity. im so glad i did.

thats my story.

I believe i was 13 when the first info released. It was an issue of Nintendo Power that featured the game that got me excited. It looked amazing graphically, and had an interesting concept.

I got it as a Christmas present and finished it within a week, awesome game, very creative.

I bought pikmin 2 on day 1.

I skipped the last generation and had never heard of it untill about 6 months ago. I got the wii version a week after it was released and just finished it 15 minutes ago. Very fun game and very addictive. Now I've missed my bedtime and will be very tired at work tomorrow :(

Heard about in 2003? 2004? Whenever the sequel came out and it looked cool, just not my kind of game.

That I should play it sometime.

Pikmin rules, i had no idea it existed back in GC times, here, it was 100% Ps2...

but i've just discovered Pikmin by playing the new play control for Wii, and i think Pikmin is amazing!!

can't wait the second one, i hope it does not have limited time to complete as the first one

Bought the first one never finished it. Thought it was a cool concept but sorley lacked in execution with a plethora of flaws. Got the second from a magazine subscription and was glad to see almost all problems i'd had with the first had been eliminated. Remains one of my favorite games of last gen.

dark_ghost_boy, the second one doesn't have a time limit, it still counts the days, but theres no limit.

I heard about it when it was announced, that probably was back in 2001 I guess.

I had the game on my "wanted" list since it was released, but it took me two years to buy it which I did in autumn 2004. Not sure why I didn't buy it earlier, probably because there were a good amount of games available at launch and because my "wanted" list is always overcrowded.

I really enjoyed playing it, although I disliked the time limit. Pikmin is a game which I want to play without pressure, but just by having fun doing the things the game requires me to do. I really enjoy that feeling Pikmin gives me though.

I have also bought Pikmin 2 in late summer 2006, and I also enjoyed playing that game. The reason why the games aren't selling more is the genre I think.
