2 is probably best

3 is OK but felt shorter. Some of the things they changed were cool while others were lame. Like no more c stick controlling you pikmin mob meant it was annoying to get them to pick stuff up also they died more without it

I actually liked the first one because you had a time restriction to get poo poo done. And if you did waste a day, in the Wii version at least you could start over and make better use of your time. I ended up beating it on my first run.

Everyone else seems to hate that. But loved Pikmin 2, I burnt out around the plot-twist because I was so loving sick of those random dungeons at that point.

Little King's Story is also a cool Pikmin game.

end of the 4.5 tatami age

the first one owns because it feels rich without feeling excessive. it's also got very visceral feedback with your rocket being reconstructed

in the second one you're digging up tennis ball lids and batteries and they make your money number go up :geno: plus you're got white and purple pikmin that want to hang with the og but they're just :geno:

the only reason i didn't like Pikmin 2 was because i couldn't command the other Pikmin Commander to waypoints, which was resolved in Pikmin 3.

Pikmin 3 however took away Pikmin Control from the C-stick, which was annoying but manageable.

pikmin games are extremely good, and pikmin 2's multiplayer is also extremely good even though almost nobody ever played it or wanted to

wtf, how do you keep the pikmin clump from falling off of things or getting into trouble, without c-stick control? or quickly and easily direct them to mob things?

the c-stick movement was probably the very best control element from the first two games, in fact

Hopefully Nintendo's next console has a controller so that Pikmin 4 or 5 can have c-stick control back.

Pikmin is on the Game Cube and the Wii U, and skipped the Wii.

Pikmin 1 and 2 were on the wii, and 2 was especially hard to find for the Gamecube so the Wii version was released in greater numbers at a 20 dollar price point.

However that didn't work because that just meant people bought entire sleeves of the game so it's value would increase.

You sayin' I like dubs?!?
pikmin 1 is pretty hosed up, if you don't have enough spaceship parts by the last day you fly into space but crash back into the planet and suffocate to death

then the pikmin toss your corpse into their pikmin maker thing and this happens



it's like some xenomorph poo poo or something

I remember someone in an old Pikmin thread linking to a blog where someone described their experience taking an college course that dedicated weeks of class time to Pikmin 2 multiplayer.

In fact here it is.
