Unfortunately Pikmin 2 was never released as NPC in the states :( --- End quote --- Nintendo finally will be releasing this one to the states. ;D http://wii.ign.com/articles/122/1223712p1.html --- End quote --- I research Pikmin. I find out about NPC and think it sounds cool. I find out Pikmin 2 NPC was never released in states. I look into even modding my Wii or something to play PAL games. I give up all hope and decide I'm either going to get GC versions or live with the fact that I will have it for different consoles. ...like 2 days later this article pops up and ALL IS FORGIVEN! Well not all...why would this take SOOO long to release? It makes no sense at all. On the plus side, this might bring the price of Pikmin 2 down. |

Ehh, for me the motion controls were a miss for Pikmin. Controlling the Pikmin with the C Stick is not something you'd want to pass up. Still, if NPC Pikmin 2 is $30, it would be a great holdover until the gamecube version of 2 goes down in price(Which it will, but probaly not by much) short story, Gamecube versions are "definitive" imo, but NPC Pikmin 1 DOES give you the option to restart from an earlier day in your file, again at the loss of c stick control. |

It's too bad they didn't include the use of GC controller, it would make it an easy instant-buy. |

Personally, I think most games' first release should be considered "definitive". For example, the gold cartridge for "Ocarina of Time" was later taken off the market, after some Islamic group complained about their prayers being used for the Fire Temple stage. Also, parents' groups objected to some of the enemies having red blood, so it was changed to green. The 3DS version is an enhanced port of the censored N64 game, not the original. |
