New features for Pikmin, Mario Tennis Wii-makes revealed

This is nice, but I own Pikmin...I want a REAL Pikmin Wii!

I agree (01). Just make a new Pikmin and not some lame rehash. Now I know how people feel about Animal Crossing.

Miyamoto already announced they are making a Pikmin 3. This is so they can build up the fanbase for the game before the third title is released.

Thanks guys, that's great news. I guess I can stand another GC rehash if it means P3 is on the way.

That is the first intelligent thing i've ever heard you say! congrats my friend!

So you are new here brodo.

Anyhow they could always increase the rooster,for example they could include Sonic.

I don't like timers either (which is why I liked Pikmin 2 like a drug), but the ability in Majora's Mask to rewind time was fine with me. The only bad thing was how positively antsy I got when the end of the final day got closer and closer.

Brodo, don't be such a tool. Too bad we don't have more posters like Khan and less dbags like you.

I enjoyed the GC Tennis back in the day when I had it, and given how fun WiiSports tennis can be with 4 folks it seems like a no-brainer to do a Wii iteration. Frankly, I'm pretty disappointed their wasting time on this GC port crap. Really, really disappointed actually. I know it likely doesn't take lots of resources on N's behalf to pull this off, but the fact that they're spending time on this at all is pretty sorry.

Side note, I agree with ESC, needs more rooster.

Mario Tennis might be a different case, though, since Camelot is gone

"On the other hand though, why couldn't they just make a totally new one? The fact Nintendo has resorted to just porting Gamecube games instead of taking the time to make new ones is just a further slap in the face to Nintendo fans."

They did that with Super Mario Sluggers and people pissed and bitched up a storm, too. Nintendo can't win no matter what they do, unfortunately.

Camelot is gone? Since when did this happen?

Sorry samfish, but Sluggers wasn't great, that is the reason behind the bitching. Stop trying to excuse Nintendo.

Anyway, in regards of Mario Tennis, although I love Camelot, the upgrades between sequels were small.

Mr Khan, there is a huge feature that would be very welcome for Mario Tennis and that is be the ability to jump. That would open the doors to many more options such as jumping on each other teammate to reach a high ball, or for example a stage in which 2-3 bullet bills come at you at the same time...

That reasoning would be valid if only so many people had not automatically decided from the day it was revealed that Sluggers was going to be crap...

I think the biggest problem with Sluggers is that it appealed to absolutely no one outside of the US. At least the "soccer" game had a slightly bigger demographic.

Sorry samfish, but the first impression is what counts the most, and Sluggers first impression to many other there was simply "meh"

So was Mario Power Tennis, but at least that game had the help of a campaign of a previous game of the series, I really believe that what boost Mario Power Tennis' sales was not only the tv ads but also the previous superb games and their respective ads as well.

+1 4 Your name and avatar alone.

"the" should be "they"

Pikmin 2, and Chibi Robo (because I didn't finish it), and Simpsons Hit n' Run, are the only GC games I kept when I traded in a pile of stuff to buy my Wii.

Pikmin 2 is one of the rare games I still love playing over and over again.

Tiny creatures that will willingly rush to a quick and tragic death?

Well played Khan +1

Why won't people read propertly??

Pikmin 3 is already on the oven, also are PunchOut, Sin and Punishment.

We have rumors that Mario and Zelda developers teams are working hard too

As someone stated, this rehash of bouth pikmin is to create a greater fanbase to recieve Pikmin 3

Come on Dralthi, use your brain for once please, just humor me for a moment. The Wii is overclocked GC hardware with identical development tools. How much effort do you think is required to remap the controls and change the game to 16:9 480p?. Nintendo more than likely has a tiny seperate development team working on porting these GC classics to the Wii so as to not affect the development of new games. You're all like 'oh ffs, why cant they give us real sequals'. They ARE giving us real sequals, they are being worked on right now, but at the same time, with a smaller team, GC games are being ported to fill in the gaps between big, new Wii releases. WTF IS SO WRONG WITH THAT. People who never owned a GC can now play revamped versions of older games for the first time without buying a GC controller/mem card, and people like me who own classic GC titles being remade will happily trade-in thier GC version for a Wiimake, just as i did with RE4. So many people complain with the lack of Wii core titles, then when Nintendo wanna fill the gaps between big releases with gc-remakes, people complain more. What will it take to make you all happy!

Foetoid,

I agree to some extent. But if I didn't also own a 360 and a DS, in addition to my Wii, I would likely get a little more cranky about this. To me, the fact that they're putting any of their resources at all on this nonsense irritates me.

What I hope there are doing is making 1 engine for wii pikmin games and then porting 1 and 2 over to this new engine.

Waning fans?

More leik whining fans, AM I RITE?
