There are two new Pikmin colours, purple (strong and beefy) and white (evil and poisonous); and some existing Pikmin have had their characteristics altered slightly (yellow is resistant to electricity now, for example). There's also a multiplayer mode, and the time limitations from the first game have been lifted, as Captain Olimar is there by his own freewill this time in an effort to salvage some precious things to sell to save himself and his company from being the next victims of the space equivalent of the credit crunch.
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...
They must re-release the first two Pikmim games, although in their GameCube versions, I'm not fan of Wiimotes that much.
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.
