Rocks :D

Seriously, it does. But what happened to the 2-Player co-op? I can only find a battle mode. Or isn't there a co-op mode?

I thought there was.

Anyhoo, this game is fantastic. Still keeps the charm of the original, but with the addition of cool new Pikmin races and loss of time limit. The controls seem a little easier too.

Shame on those of you waiting for the UK release - IMPORT IT!!

Anyone? Does a co-op game exist? As a hidden game maybe - because it's not on the main screen and I was under the impression there was such a feature.

From what I've ehard there isn't a co-op mode; I'm sure that was one of IGN's complaints in their review. Could be wrong though.

Can't wait. :-D

Purple Pikmin are the nuts.

Watch out for the sumo dance.

Just been reading around and discovered that you can unlock a co-op challenge mode. It's not the Single Player story, but you do need to work together to complete the challenges.

sounds great - can't wait :D

and yes, the Purple ones are great, but they're slow as hell compared to the rest! I often leave many behind, meaning I'm forced to run around the level during the 10-second countdown trying to find loners that have got lost! Bloody annoying, yet it's hilarious watching them run around for their life when on fire :D

Yes shame on me for not getting the Imported version, something Nintendo are having trouble with.

I mean it'll be great if I imported the game from America, not supporting the Gamecube scene in the UK... encouraging further delays of games...

Oh and having to buy a Freeloader too... etc... etc...

Honestly, what is the appeal of Pikmin?

It's just a dumbed down RTS on a console.

It's not an RTS really though...


More of a puzzle game.



The only things Pikmin can do themselves is carry something home, or sense something within a radius. You can't send them on missions. They simply follow you and you lob them at things.

As stupid as it sounds, it's fantastic.
