No the code , the disc is still in the Tesco parcel unopened

optimark_prime

That's what I offered a tenner for.

Kernowgaz

You can have the code now if you want , I've used it though. Still interested ?

Kernowgaz

Had a good week off mark ? Bet you missed Trago ;-)

optimark_prime

Shhh..... don't mention The Mills!

Played through the first couple of days and it's classic Pikmin so far, which suits me just fine.

My copeh of Pukmanz arrived from the mystery shop, not day one but not bad given the price - Amazon wouldn't have done any better without Prime.

Fiver cheaper in Argos than Game if anyone's in a generic town and wanting the disc.

EvilRedEye

BOO STUPID QUICK-START PIECE OF PAPER, BOO!

i want a manual waaah

Vela

God no. I left a Pikmin behind!

I think my Fire Emblem no death OCD mode may haunt me something chronic in this game.

Had some store credit for Game so I picked this up today. Was going to get Lego City too, but no way am I paying £50.00 for it. Did feel slightly sorry for the staff in their Pikmin hats.

Vela

I would have asked for one.

Do Argos still do trades?

I didn't even check the box. Manuals etc are somewhat superfluous these days, especially when the first couple of hours of the game are largely a hand-holding exercise.

What do you need staff for?

To do my grocery shopping for me. I shall send out Game staff minions wearing Pikmin hats to buy my weekly strawberry and lemon order.

No idea. The other problem with Argos is that when I checked general availability, there is literally one in every store. I just think every effort should be made not to pay GAME prices.

This is a genuinely pretty game. It's a shame it didn't come out sooner as it at least gives the perception that the Wii U is perhaps capable of a bit more than the PS3 and 360 in the right circumstances.

Here's a photo wot I took!

The Nintendo microsite, here:

is rather lovely. Reg, bung it in the OP.

I wouldn't say it's made buying the WiiU worth it yet, but this game's restored a little of my faith in Ninty. Had the nieces come over yesterday and they were enthralled. Brought a tear to my eye it did.

cindemon

Need to fin Earthbound & tbh Bioshock Infinite before I even start to think about getting this.

Nice OP btw Reg, watch ya back ERE.

Vela

The day 3 encounter is a bit tough.

Getting nightmare flashbacks to the stronger enemies in Pikmin 1.

Spoiler:

Loving the level design and especially now that I've ventured into the next area there's potential for really crafty micromanagement.

Definitely considerably more challenging all round than 1 or 2 so far and all the better for it.

Have slight niggles with controls at the moment; I never played Pikmin with a wiimote and felt thoroughly at home with the GC controller instead but the camera and aiming controls slightly differently than previous games and I'm especially missing the c stick, which was useful for pretty much every aspect of the game.

EDIT: I'm playing gamepad only as it seems the only logical option.

mistercrayon

I'm finding the move and aim control locked to one stick a bit troublesome too. The wii remote version of this must be very fun.

EvilRedEye

I'm playing it with a Wii Remote + Nunchuk + GamePad combo as that was the one given the most emphasis in the quickstart guide. Only issue is controlling the camera, the Wii Remote and Nunchuk lacks a second stick but once you touch the camera control on the GamePad it swaps the controls over to the GamePad entirely so it's not very practical. Using the lock-on function alleviates this a bit though.

EvilRedEye

This game is better than I thought it was going to be.

Kernowgaz

This game is gorgeous and really enjoying it .

Only issue so far are the controls , using either the gamepad or pro controller its difficult to aim. Will try the Wii remote method next .

Spoiler:

Kernowgaz

As there's no instruction manual , do you a limited amount of days or is it a way of replaying to beat the amount of days you take to complete it ?

On day 6 and come across another flying thing , with the game pad controls it was a nightmare trying to kill it , hopefully try out the remote and nunchuck tomorrow .

Even though there's very few games out in the Wii U , you've still gotta love Nintendo

Howdy, Stranger!
