Pikmin (New Play Control)

"It's cute and engrossing but feels slight."

I say: Argh, strategy! I actually played the GC version of this, but me, the enemies, and the thirty-day time limit didn't get on. Objectively a good game, but not for me.

Pikmin 2 (New Play Control)

Points: 10

You say:
"I didn't play this on the Gamecube so coming to it fresh has helped it place so high, took everything that the original did and improved it, especially by removing that pesky 30 day limit so I could take my time to see everything."
"Because (insert everyone else's opinion of Pikmin here)."

I say: Argh, strategy! But it does sound more my cup of tea than the prequel, thanks to the removal of the day limit. Bit capitalistic, but I suppose that's appropriate for a quick-and-dirty port.

You say:
"I owned the game on DS, and never finished it because of how painstakingly hard it was. Tears of blood were shed in frustration playing it on DS. When this come around, I actually made some progress in the game thanks to the ease of selecting tools on the nunchucks. There were some neat touches with how you used the tools (forceps were very fun to use, pressing A and B was pretty intuitive) and it was more enjoyable than the DS version."
"I don't normally like to vote sequels in but I do really like this game(and if anyone voted for one it'll probably be this one and I want it to place). As I've mentioned previously the story is better in this one and it was grea that they changed up the last chapter from the DS version. Unfortunately they also made it bloody tough and I've never finished it."

I say: This series scared me off, with its time pressure and its need for precision (of which I have none). It looked very well-presented, if nothing else.

Animal Crossing: Let's Go to the City

Points: 23
First places: 3



You say:
"Planning, patience and perseverance yet again pay wonderful dividends. Fair enough, it was the same game for the third time, but the concept is still a belter."
"It was easy for me to write this off with it being largely the same as Wild World plus a little hub for a couple of shops but I still managed to play nearly every day for around a year and it never felt like a chore, the Animal Crossing formula is something special."
"I know it was a disappointment, but my family still spent 300 hours overall on this."

I say: I bought it on the DS, where it was a perfect fit for the portable. I wasn't shelling out for exactly the same thing again, with a city plonked on. No sir. (looks guiltily at New Leaf)

Little King's Story

Points: 30
First places: 5



You say:

• "A wonderful game, which despite its appearance can be bloody hard when it wants to be. This game has absolutely everything: a bonkers sense of humour and cast of characters, lush, gorgeous visuals, a seemingly bottomless sense of invention and imagination, an inventive, memorable boss battle around every corner, but to cap it all, a soundtrack that I guarantee will send goosebumps down your spine. Utterly wonderful stuff, which saddens me even more deeply that it sold about ten copies."
  
• "The production values are sky high and it's tremendously gorgeous. The time I spent with it was a joy."
  
• "It could only be this, such a charming game, however I've ever beaten it as it's rock solid. I've recenty started the Vita version of it which is also fantastic so I hope to see the other kings I missed out on soon!"
  
• "The only disappointment comes from the duo of similar-ish games it had to follow. I wish it were more like Pikmin, but it remains a piece of RTS excellence."
  
• "Easily one of the best exclusives on the Wii, it had such a unique feel to it and was very funny too."
  
• "Where to start with this? Because it's an RTS and I'm enjoying it. Because all of the music is a brilliant re-working of famous classical masterpieces. Because each of your followers is known by name, and you have to go to their funeral. Because there's hundreds of lines of dialogue you may never read. Because your followers sing you songs for no important reason. Because Airplane Hamburger. Because the princesses have jabbery pretend voices like everyone else, but they still convey their personalities. Because all the princesses are actually named aftert cocktails. Because Princess Ferne makes Jessica Rabbit look a bit crap. Because there's a mad TV that transmits mad TV shows. Because there's an NGamer recommendation on the box. Because my sister got it for my birthday, and the guy in Game was so pleased the "girl" wasn't buying Wii Fit Plus. Because Kimura-san wrote back to NGamer. Because of the diary entry in the real world (SPOILER) about Corobo's Grandfather. Because you should probably choose Verde. Because *dragged out of room*"

I say: (shuffles awkwardly) No, I didn't buy it. As mentioned above, argh, strategy! Yes, I can see how wonderful and unique it was, and yes, I wanted it to do well, and yes, a horde of rampaging demon cows should really sell it to me on its own, but... argh, strategy! If there was any chance of finding a first-hand copy and contributing to the developer's pension, I'd buy it out of pity. As it is, I hope it does well on Vita.
