Nintendo's continuing trawl through its own back catalogue is anything but unwelcome as it throws up classics that turn out to have just as much charm today as they did first time around. Pikmin 2 sees a return of the eponymous tiny sentient plant creatures, hurled at enemies, obstacles and collectibles in Nintendo's typically organic take on real-time strategy. A distinct evolution from Pikmin (rereleased earlier this year), this knocks off all that game's rough edges and adds considerable sparkle, a far mellower and less time-sensitive structure as well as a two-player mode.
Now that Super Mario Galaxy has made its way to the Wii U eShop, what other games should come to the Wii U Virtual Console? Some are more likely than others.
Super Mario Sunshine!!! I REALLY need it. It's the only 3D Mario I don't own. I used to own it but was dumb to sell a decade back. A HD Remake would be even better!
What i think needs to be on the e shop is ALL the virtual console games that the Wii had.. Turbo graphx, neo geo, genesis, & way more offerings from the retro nintendo consoles..
With the recent re-release of Super Mario Galaxy 2, Punch-Out, and the Metroid Prime Trilogy, we take a look at other Wii games that deserve the same treatment.
They missed one key one ... Resident Evil IV .... best version was on Wii U with the Wiimote.
I'd kill to see Pandora's Tower get a re-release, especially if it comes with a patch to fix the freezing glitch...
It is getting released here in UK/Europe.. It was shown on part of the direct along with sin and punishment 2
Well I'm state-side, so unless it's announced for the states alongside a proper patch for the game...
They must re-release the first two Pikmim games, although in their GameCube versions, I'm not fan of Wiimotes that much.
Wii remotes made the game a lot more manageable since it was more like having a mouse to control the game with.
Zelda twilight without a doubt needs to come, wiiu needs all the help it can get, this game is much needed in the Eshop.
Pikmin is an interesting series, as it's one of Nintendo's freshest IPs — due to having just three standalone games — and a unique part of the company's library. To celebrate the arrival of the third entry in the franchise, Nintendo Life takes a short look at its history to date, including its many cameos that have developed it as a much-loved brand.
