The upcoming release of Nintendo's new Play Control! Pikmin for Wii makes a lot of sense for several reasons, both from business and gamer standpoints. It's been eight years (amazingly enough) since the original offering released for GameCube and there are millions of videogame newcomers turned onto the medium for the first time with Wii who have never heard of the series. Furthermore, given the fact that the original Pikmin sold less than 700,000 units in America (and its sequel much less), the sad truth is that even a lot of Nintendo fans have yet to go hands-on with the spectacular franchise.
But perhaps most importantly, from the moment the Wii remote was unveiled, Captain Olimar and his army of devoted extraterrestrial flower creatures have seemed the perfect fit for the controller
Hardcore Gamer - New Play Control Pikmin is coming soon to the Wii U eShop at an attractive price point.
This reminds me how I always wanted GameCube titles to be ported to Virtual Console or for Nintendo to do more HD remasters of them on Wii U or handheld versions on 3DS.
Now that Super Mario Galaxy has made its way to the Wii U eShop, what other games should come to the Wii U Virtual Console? Some are more likely than others.
Super Mario Sunshine!!! I REALLY need it. It's the only 3D Mario I don't own. I used to own it but was dumb to sell a decade back. A HD Remake would be even better!
What i think needs to be on the e shop is ALL the virtual console games that the Wii had.. Turbo graphx, neo geo, genesis, & way more offerings from the retro nintendo consoles..
With the recent re-release of Super Mario Galaxy 2, Punch-Out, and the Metroid Prime Trilogy, we take a look at other Wii games that deserve the same treatment.
They missed one key one ... Resident Evil IV .... best version was on Wii U with the Wiimote.
I'd kill to see Pandora's Tower get a re-release, especially if it comes with a patch to fix the freezing glitch...
They must re-release the first two Pikmim games, although in their GameCube versions, I'm not fan of Wiimotes that much.
Zelda twilight without a doubt needs to come, wiiu needs all the help it can get, this game is much needed in the Eshop.
