"Wahey! Pikmin 2 and Mario 128 confirmed :D"

Taken from cube-europe:

Now, we already had an idea that they were on their way, but Miyamoto-san himself has confirmed the development of both Pikmin 2 and Mario 128. Little is known about the two titles, but Miyamoto did say this about Mario 128...

"I believe that with this game you'll be able to feel the "newness" that was missing from Mario Sunshine."

------------
Maybe by newness he means Pikmin with little Marios (i.e.128 of them) incorporating both of the games into one sequel.

I doubt it, but it's an idea ;)

I know. But they don't exactly add to the game's longevity either because most people will tire of them quickly.

They don't pose a challenge of any sort, or require skill or thinking, just really tedious scouring of the level.
You don't have to do them, so I didn't.

That's why the game ended after 2-3 weeks of light play, and the game is far too small/short I don't care what you say.

It's fantastic while it lasts though.

That's exactly what I did.

Got it for Xmas mainly cause of the lack of new N64 games coming out, didn't really know what it was all about and it turned out to be one of the best games on the N64.

I agree. I bought it on the strength of a N64 mag review (now NGC). Got it, and couldn't stop playing it that Christmas/New Year. It rule so much.

Got my N64 back off a freind today. First game I played. It had multiplayer gluttony and a superb single player. And fast cars. Why was it overlooked?!

The thing is though they aren't a must, they're only there if you really wanna complete the game fully. If you can't be bothered with them then it won't stop you from seeing the end sequence.

Kipper you complain about the red coins but it was exactly the same in Mario 64. Personally I see no problem with them at all.

Mario Sunshine was a long game if you collected all red and blue coins, as well as the other 100. Yes, you do have to look in some strange places to find the coins but thats the whole point of the game.

I'll second that. Rush 2049 fookin rocked, pity not many people took much notice of it.

It had some of the sweetest multiplayer modes on the N64.

Indeed.

But its still cool.

I'm happy with the red one, because even if they are hard to get to (which is fine by me - I like a challenge), atleast they're not stupidly hidden in an obscure place where you can only find them by spraying EVERY SINGLE OBJECT in the game and hope for the best...

Those blue coins are just a nuisance.

Hopefully both shall rule the gaming world for years.

And Pilotwings, Rush 2049 and Body Harvest all get sequals exclsively for GC.

If only.

Hopefully Mario 128 will be Pilotwings with 128 Marios in it......okay probably not.

Should be some form of Platform game me thinks.

Pikmin 2's gonna rule, I can't wait. Hopefully be much bigger this time....maybe 2 player co-operative mode....not sure how that would work but it would be intresting.
