Wahey, the lovely little game is now sitting in its oversized box besides my computer.

Is it just me or did this game sorta come out without a bang? I mean Animal Crossing got a bigger reception prior to release than this classic title.

I haven't seen one advert, most magazines are plastering Paper Mario or Donkey Konga on their covers and most Nintendo of Europe stuff is far more interested in last weeks GBA SP price drop and Pokemon release.

Poor Pikmin 2, I hope it won't effect the sales too much.

I want.

But I changed my Pikmin 2 claim to Pro Evolution 4 on Sunday (except it still hasn't updated) because it's more necessary, and GAD isn't being updated so I don't know if I'll have any more wins which could be used to claim PES4.

I shall have the Pikmin sometime, however, as I love it. Oh yes.

Find a local independant retailer, they tend to put the games on the shelf early.

It's not a special box... all Gamecube's boxes are oversized.

They could be half that size - but wouldn't stand out as much on the shelves.

Same reason GBA packaging never changed when the carts went smaller.

I know the reason I just find it so very funny.

Open a massive DVD size case and pull out a tiny disc.

It's like getting a ring for Christmas and it's in a box the size a computer would fit in.
