2... I liked the lack of that 30 day time limit. Kinda felt like I couldn't explore as much as I really wanted to in 1

I thought miyamoto left nintendo to go do some of his own projects, did I miss something?

I think I enjoyed Pikmin 1 better. It might favor it because I got it at the same time I got Luigi's Mansion. Good ol' Gamecube nostalgia.

Interesting to hear that a design decision that Miyamoto never liked made it out into the wild.

I think that Shigeru Miyamoto needs to resign before he "user friendlies" Nintendo into bankruptcy. I find it funny that he claims to want simplicity when setting up the Wii U was the most convoluted asinine experience I have ever had. If the company doesn't get rid of him they will end up like Sega and we will be seeing Mario and Link on Xbox and Playstation. He has no idea what people want, only what he thinks they want. His arrogance is going to do irreparable harm to my beloved childhood company if he hasn't already. Yes he was once great, but now it is time for Nintendo to move on.

I actually do kind of like this news. Don't get me wrong; Pikmin 2 was much, much better than Pikmin 1, but I did miss the time limit. It added more of a challenge to quickly collect all of the Dolphin's parts before the 30 days were up. I did like how you were free to explore more in Pikmin 2, though. I'm not sure what to think of it yet because I still need to see more gameplay footage, but, whatever they come up with, I bet it will be amazing.

Pikmin 2 was better, more freedom allowed me to get more hours into it but i guess this guy was like ''me no like pikmin 2 so me gonna put own ideas in pikmin 3 and not care what others think''

Although they should put this in an advertising campaign.
''Pikmin that one game you can get your girlfriend and she wont have to pretend to like''

I like both Pikmin games, so I don't have a problem with this decision.

Why not take what made both games great and integrate them together?

I think I might look into this.

2 was easily the best. It was a classic case of a near-perfect game being perfected.

I was turned off of the first game because of the time limit. It's the reason I never even tried beat the first game.

I still like 1....probably just nostalgia...This one is looking amazing though. I am really digging the graphics, I'm not real big on realistic graphics, just as long as it's smooth and colorful idc.

I just want more Pikmin.

I liked 2 better, but I have to admit that the first was more challenging.

Crap, that reminds me. I need to finish Pikmin 2. As of now, I just hope the time limit isn't like the 30-day limit in the first game, because it make the game too short. It could be finished in about 8 hours.

First off, I'm just going to get to what we are all thinking... WHEN IS THIS COMING OUT!?! Gosh darn it Nintendo I just want to know! Okay, now that that's over. I personally liked Pikmin 2 more because it was more challenging. While irrefutably the first game's 30 day limit did add challenge, it limited exploration and I usually ended up finishing about 2-3 days prior to day 30. I feel the second one was more challenging as it tested your endurance by forcing you to enter caverns and not being able to leave until A: Death, B: Geyser (which were rare), or C: You finished. Also, several of the bosses were extremely hard for me and I loved the variety I saw throughout the entire game! Nevertheless, I feel like this has been mentioned but maybe I forgot, is this game going to have multiplayer campaign?

Pikmin 2 sucked balls compared to the first one. LEt the man work, he knows where he went wrong.

Pikmin 1 was far better, but had a lot less content than Pikmin 2. So if he can make it like Pikmin 1, but with more content, then I will be very happy.
