Life under a microscope fantasy world, Pikmin delivers a unique experience like few before it with a blend of real-time strategy, adventure, and puzzle elements. You control Captain Olimar, a lovable little astronaut, who crash-landed on a planet inhabited by even more lovable little plant creatures known as Pikmin. Olimar can command these creatures RTS-style, assign them tasks, make them attack foes, and gather resources. The ultimate task is to rebuild Olimar's space ship before a 30-day time window elapses. Command lovable little creatures RTS-style Rebuild Olimar's space ship before a 30-day time window elapses

The Story
Stranded in a vast and strange world, Captain Olimar faces a daunting challenge. When he crash-landed on this alien planet, the pieces of his ship scattered far and wide, and it would be a near-impossible task to recover all of them by himself. Luckily, he has been able to befriend curious creatures he calls Pikmin. Only with their help — and your quick thinking — will he be able to collect all the pieces of his ship and finally make his way home.

Key Game Features:

Befriend the odd alien creatures known as Pikmin and seek their aid in your quest to return home
Use your Wii Remote to pluck up the Pikmin and put them to work
Command your own Pikmin army of up to 100 creatures at once
Enlist the help of multiple Pikmin to overcome predators, demolish barriers and haul critical ship parts
Coordinate the actions of the Pikmin to help you collect the missing pieces of your ship
For 1 player

Redesigned for the Wii Remote
Action and strategy combine in fun and innovative ways in New Play Control! Pikmin. Point your Wii Remote at the screen to pluck the Pikmin and guide them in the tasks you assign them. Command up to 100 Pikmin at once to take on big jobs, including swarming predators, demolishing barriers and more, and coordinate the creatures' actions to help you find all the pieces of the ship before it's too late.

Makes it worth playing over again

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 13, 2012

Verified Purchase

I played this game on GameCube originally and loved every minute of it. I saw this and thought what was the point of buying it all over again when all there is that is new is differnet controls? Well the Wii controls for this game really do make the game so much more enjoyable. I figured pikmin was great with the old GameCube controls though really this game was made with Wii motion controls in mind as it makes getting Capt. Olimar's ship pieces even easier to get as well as being more precise with your aim.

This game is great as it has a simple story that all ages can enjoy as well as having nice mechanics to use to solve the obstacles that get in your way to retrieving your ships parts. The game is still the same as its GameCube edition which is kind of a bummer as I would of loved to play maybe some new dungeons or some sort of new content though the game is still enjoyable a 2nd time around.

I highly recommend this game to those that have never got a chance to experience this game the first time around and just recommend it to those that have before as it is the same ol' thing though with the new controls it is more enjoyable a second time around.

I got this for my son as a birthday gift. He loved this game. So much so that he finished it on this first day. He's used this game to get to teach me his to play video games and figure out the controller. 'You can't teach an old dog new tricks" comes to mind when I think about my level of ability. I persist in trying though because it gives us something to do together.

A modern classic and great for kids

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 4, 2013

Verified Purchase

This game has been out for a while but I just wanted to chime in: I bought this because I have a 2 year old and was looking for good games to play (and be interested in) with my son, that he could also enjoy. Pikmin was an obvious choice. I played the original back in the game cube days, so I knew what I was in for.

I must say, for a ten year old game, it holds up. The new play controls are very much intuitive, one would think the game was designed for the wii from the start. The graphics look old, they come from the gamecube of course, and other than resizing the display to fit a 16x9 screen without stretching, no improvements there have been made. Given the cartoony style of the game however, there's nothing really wrong with that, although some anti-aliasing would've been nice.

This game is challenging & compelling, yet completely appropriate for children of any age and therefore makes an excellent gift to a young child. Rare is the game that nails a 'G' rating and is addicting to play in the modern gaming era. Pikmin nails it.

About the seller... Mmmm yes it was nice, arrived in time, perfect condition... about the Game... INCREDIBLE!!!! This was one of the games I promised to myself to play before I die!! haha!! Its just Awesome, total addicting, I finished it for the second time in two weeks and I want more, more, more pikmin, I was playing Metroid Prime Trilogy and Mass Effect and I stopped playing just to play Pikmin... its so good. But the only reason i rate this game with 4stars, its because is too short, and too easy (i got it finished in two days, over 12 hours of play, and i'm not a person who has much time to play) and the second reason is the time limit, if you miss one ship part, you have to rush the next day to catch up with the parts-days... but besides that, there are too much good things tha overpasses the bad things. Love the game, love the pikmins, love the controls, I WANT MORE PIKMIN!!

A couple months later....

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 5, 2016

Verified Purchase

Couple months later, and he's still playing! Both by himself, and with friends. He's actually asked for all three PIkmin games. Don't understand why Pikmin 2 is so expensive right now, but he's had a lot of fun with Pikmin 1, & Pikmin 3. Which is saying something! Lol! Normally he beats a game, and moves on to the next one, so we have definitely gotten our moneys worth out of this one!
BTW he is 8, his group is 7-10uears old. Coming up our older boy's (up to college age) enjoyed playing Pikmin too, and will on occasion sit, and play the Pikmin games with him. I think it's because the Pikmin are so cute, and because the puzzles (it is a puzzle game) can get a little difficult.

Hope our review helped!

PIKMIN?

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 21, 2013

Verified Purchase

Pikmin is about an alien named Olimar who's space ship crashes on his way home. With his ships pieces scattered across a strange planet, it's up to Olimar to find all of the pieces of his ship so he can return home. To do this, Olimar befriends a race of beings called Pikmin. Pikmin are these strange sprout like creatures that Olimar can pluck from the ground just like pulling carrots. Blue ones can swim. Red ones are immune to fire. And yellow ones can be thrown far. You need to work as a team with the Pikmin using the correct colors for the correct areas. There's actually a lot to talk about but really the best way to learn about this game is to play it. It's a gamecube game with wiimote controls and unfortunately nothing new was added so it is fairly short. It is a classic, though, and any Nintendo fan should have it as a part of their main collection.

Great RTS

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 28, 2011

Verified Purchase

This is a great strategy game. I heard about it before, but never took much interest into it. One day, my son was on Youtube and found a play-through of it. He said he was really interested. I saw him play and also found it to interesting. The areas were large and very polished. The cool thing which a lot of people find irritating is the 30 day time limit. Days are 13 minutes long and any Pikmin left behind will die. thats not the cool thing. The cool thing is that the are are three posible endings: 1. you find all 30 ship parts within the limit 2. You get all the required ship parts by the end of the 30th day and 3. you dont get all of the required ship parts. This is cool because if YOU crash landed on an alien planet, your air suppply would be cut short too.

Update on an old favourite

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on May 25, 2012

Verified Purchase

Pikmin is one of my favourite games of all times - I got it several years ago for the GameCube and must have completed it a dozen times.

I originally wanted to buy the sequel, but because I'm an idiot I accidentally clicked on this as well. However when I realised and tried to return Pikmin 1, Amazon very kindly let me keep the game (too much hassle for them to pay return postage I guess). So I got two games for the price of one!

I decided to give this away, but couldn't resist trying out the new control system first. It doesn't disappoint. It's as intuitive as the old version to control, and the addition of the Wii remote as motion sensor brings a new level of ease, as it frees up all of your fingers to mash buttons while you fling Pikmin everywhere.

In regards to graphics, there doesn't seem to be a lot of difference, but they have always been lovely and suit the style of the game, so no complaints there. The little Pikmin are as adorable as ever and the gameplay is smooth, no glitches or other problems.

The main issue people seem to have is the 30 day time limit, but as far as I'm concerned it just adds a bit more of a challenge to what could have otherwise been a very easy game. After the first play-through (it's pretty quick to complete if you put your foot down, so you can almost treat that as a practice round) you can then return with a better grasp of where the ship's components are, and from then (for me at least) it becomes more of a competition as to how many pieces I can find in a day, or how many days I have left at the end, etc. In my opinion this game deserves several play-throughs, so I never saw the time-limit as restricting.

All in all this is a classic strategy game, very fun and addictive, and suitable for all ages, not too easy for adults (I'm 22 and still love it!) or too difficult for kids to grasp. I highly recommend it for a gift (or just a present to yourself). If you own a Wii and are a fan of Nintendo it is a must-buy, you won't regret it!

My 8 year old loves it. We had seen it on nintendoland and research said that this version was most like that. Was a little disappointed that she has to "kill" things. But I accept that might be me being just too sensitive ( thats the 1 missing star).
Overall, as long as you help a little here and there, an 8 year old can cope fine.
They wont finish it in 5 minutes neither.
Im a happy daddy.

Excellent game

Fantastic game. Would highly recommend it. Lots of fun. Replay-ability to try and beat your time or to lose as few Pikmin as possible. The music is great too. The wii controls are pretty good too. I've never played the GameCube version of Pikmin so I don't know how it compares controlswise but I have played Metroid Prime on GameCube and Wii and I felt it was an improvement when the new controls were added.

To Put It Simply, A Masterpiece

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on November 3, 2016

This Game Is Astounding! If You Thought Pikmin On Gamecube Was Good You Will Love This One! The Story Is Simple, Captain Olimar Has Crashed On A Distant Planet And Has 30 Days To Find His 30 Ship Parts. But You Cant Expect Him To Pick Up Them. It Would Take Him A Year To Get 1! Thats Where The Pikmin Come In. They Are SO CUTE! And They All Have Their Own Personality's In There Own Way. One Complaint I Have Is The Pikmin AI Is Sometimes Stupid In This Game. They Fixed That In Pikmin 3 Though! People Seem To Have A Problem With The 30 Day Time Limit But I Did The Game In 18 Days And 1 of Those Days Was Spent Just Growing Pikmin. In Short Pikmin Is A Fantastic Game And This Port Just Makes It Better!
