This thread has been linked to the game 'Pikmin'.
I'm a bit sick of Hitman 2 and Harvest Moon at moment, along with my other currently-played games, so I decided to give Pikmin a quick go and really rekindled my love of the thin, odd looking plants.
I never really remember Pikmin being as good as it is. I always liked it, but returning it seems wonderful, and more of a Nintendo game than Wind Waker and Sunshine. Building up 100's of slaves, racing against the clock to safety... I never really realised how great this is, and despite being a bit sceptical about the 2nd, I'm really looking forward to it now.
RBS is just plain wrong. Not liking this is foolish, it's a true Nintendo masterpiece and, in terms of gameplay, almost faultless (bar a few niggles when trying to seperate Pikmin.)
This is why a bought a GameCube.

After seeing a couple of screenshots, it seems you press Y to use the bomb rocks instead of randomly blowing Pikmin up by whistling. Hopefully it will mean a lot less death.
Aye - I had to look on the guide at www.nintendo.co.uk to figure out how to get my pikmin to the shore on Final Trial - only because I forgot you could walk into them to select them.
I also noticed that there are two walkthroughs exactly the same on ukwalkthroughs.com
:/
Note: I only looked up the one bit I was stuck on - the rest I want to work out myself.
Excellent game Pikmin! I should have it completed by its 22nd day - 23rd if I'm lucky.

Ha! I did it in 17. :-D
First time round though?
As this is the first time I've gone past day 6 without giving up :D
