IGN writes: "Eight years (or nearly 3000 days) have passed since Nintendo released Pikmin, a thoroughly entertaining action-strategy romp for GameCube. Now, Wii owners who either missed the franchise during its first run or don't mind going back to it again can experience it with a welcomed new save function, an added 16:9 widescreen mode and, most importantly, new Wii pointer-based controls. These additions update and improve upon what was already an excellent Nintendo exclusive effort that never received the same caliber of attention as its Mario and Zelda based brethren. Pikmin is great fun on Wii, but some of its design fundamentals and visuals were ultimately bettered by its sequel, and sadly these changes were not translated to the New Play Control! reboot."
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.
