Man this game looks cool... I've just downloaded another video (#7) from www.videogames.com. At first I wasn't sure how you killed the bad guys... I knew you threw PIKMIN on them, but I wasn't sure... I thought that originally they acted as a leech-seed...
(It's sad that you know what that is, PokÈmon boy!!)
... but it seems as though they jump up and down... or something...
There are also a lot more bosses than I thought... I knew it didn't stop at the Rainbow Bug thingy... but there are Black Widows, Herons, Blowy things, Bug things.... loads of them...
I hadn't seen anyother landscape until before this video either... it seems like the amajority of the setting is 'In the Garden' although I have seen sand levels... (Not beach) which seems to be down a pit of some sort, and also a Hedge maze thingy...
I love the way the PIKMIN die... their 'souls' come up from the ground and float up... they can be eaten, squashed, drowned and everything... it's cool... they can also be blown away by one boss and you have to run after them and 'whistle' them back out the ground...
I like the idea of having different 'units' as it were... I think three is enough... Bud, Flower and Leaf... I would imagine the order is, (From crapest to best) Leaf, Bud Flower, although saying from crap to best might be wrong... different PIKMIN for different jobs... I can't wait to see how they built bridges and all that.
The visuals look quite good, but I haven't really seen any post-N64 stuff... the textures are good, and the charachter models are impressive... but they're so small... I've seen good bits and bad bits... mostly good, but then again the bad bits might not be bad coming from someone who hates the dungeons in Zelda... :D
The PIKMIN voices sound quite funny... I suppose the humor in the game will be quite good... the way they run around like year-7 children on the first day of 'Big-School'... magic!
The game looks quite big as well... I mean, there isn't realy a limit to how many spaceship parts there are... and the fact that the 'Day-Night' idea has been incorporated means that gameplay can be widened by only being able to beat certain bosses at certain times...
Overall i've been quite impressed, and the game should take up my next GAD as the second GC game on my list... I just hope the games don't all come at once... because I want to enjoy them!

You're wrong.

Heh, I've chosen Pikmin for a GAD win and am lookign forward to it SOOOOOOOOO much!
I don't know...
What the heck is Pikamin?
The game revolves around a miniature astronaut stranded on alien turf. Apparently, the ultimate mission in the game is to construct a spacecraft and head for home. Of course, youíll need some help, and what better place to start than from the ground up? The Pikmin are little creatures that grow in the fertile soil of this alien world. When you pluck them from the turf (or blow a whistle to beckon the buggers forth), they will follow you and obey your every whim. Depending on when you pull them out of the ground, the Pikmin will possess different abilities.
You have to fight bad bugs and conquer horrendous landscapes... what might seem like a small dig in the garden to you, to the PIKMIN and the astronaut could be a Crator of Death!
It is a Real-Time Strategy game around which the GF controller seems to have been built!
Worth a look...

What do you actualy do in Pikmin? I've seen a video of it and it looks rather a lot like Lemmings.
Yeah, the best bit is that Shigsy came up with this whole original idea while doing the gardening.
What a top bloke!

I think that the Leaf, Bud and Flower PIKMIN are used for different parts of an attack... The flower PIKMIN might be there to attract the enemy... kind of like a bait... the 'Leaf' PIKMIN are quick to attacking could be thier game... and the 'Bud' PIKMIN are an 'in-between' that can do both to a certain extent... also I think the buds of the Bud PIKMIN could act as a bridge... they could with stand the thornes and stand on them, while the spaceman and the rest walked across..... I just can't wait to play it...
i think that Pikimin looks really good
but the music sticks in your head, once you've heard it you can't get it out of of your head!
