Cubed3 Review: Pikmin

Cubed3 writes: "With this Wii version comes a far more intuitive control set-up, with players simply moving the Wii Remote around, directing the cursor towards where their Pikmin are patiently waiting, pointing at the on-screen creatures and pressing 'A' to pick them up one at a time, throwing them with another tap of 'A' in the direction that the on-screen cursor has been pointed with the Wii Remote. Hitting 'B' blows a special whistle that brings them all rushing back to Olimar's side whenever necessary, whilst holding 'C' dismisses the group entirely, leaving them to simply stand stationary until further instruction is doled out.

Hopefully they focus on Pikmin 4 DLC instead. That game introduced tons of interesting mechanics that deserve extra levels and bosses.

I hope for some Pikmin 4 DLC too.. to be honest, they could even make the second player somehow to work (not talking about that extra mode).. but they could make that you can control the dog at least, even if it's on the same screen in story mode

Pikmin 4 is great. The new camera system made everything better.

Cacabunga488d ago

I like the concept of this game but it really gets boring in the long run. Nintendos flagship could be F-Zero, they really need to bring it back

I’d prefer a StarFox spin off like the GameCube Adventure games. I found them to be fun despite being different to the main core games.

@-Foxtrot

I'd love a new Star Fox game done in a similar format to Starlink, but with a better story and better enemy variety.

Nebaku488d ago

Every subsequent F-Zero sold worse than the prior.

If it's a flagship title, I think the flag will sink with the ship.

I love Pkimin 4, but wish they'd lean more into the rts aspects of the game. Would be interesting if you were using pikmin to gather resources and building stuff. Wouldn't mind if it strayed a iittle bit away from the cozy game territory. Atleast in spin-off.

MrBaskerville488d ago

Everyone hated the rts sections or what?

The "next gen console update" part of this is so clickbaity. The Nintendo president offered an update that they have nothing to update us on.

Crows90488d ago (Edited 488d ago )

I'm all in for a new Nintendo generation if they can give us

New smash
New Mario party
New Metroid
New Zelda both in 3d and 2d
New starfox
New IP
New and better pokemon game that really advances the IP

ifinitygamer488d ago

So you want all new Nintendo games from every franchise lol
Not making fun but it's like every major franchise, minus Mario for some reason?

talocaca488d ago

I live in Japan and Pikmin 4 did surprisingly well. Tons of collaborations and marketing. Even now they play ads on the trains.

One of my favorite franchises ♥️
