Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Pikmin: Get the GC one or NPC?

I lost my copy of Pikmin. Not sure where it went or if I sold it. So, I ask you guys, is the NPC one worth it? Are the controlls helpful or harmful. Would you recommend this game to me? Or should I get a used cube one?

Gamecube one. It is alot cheaper



I have only played the gamecube one for like 30 min but IGN said the NPC is very well implemented and they can't wait for pikmin 3 after playing the old ones with wii controls.

Get NPC. The aiming is so much more easier. Also you could do shortcuts that you couldn't do
on GC. NPC is suprior to the GC version. Only problem gliches

Get NPC. The ability to reset days trumps anything the original offers.



Pixel Art can be fun.

I loved the NPC controls on Pikmin 2. But I haven't experienced the original controls to compare I'm afraid.

I cannot even imagine playing Pikmin without a Wiimote.
