Reviews New Play Control! PikminPikmin is a blast! Command them, conquer, and claim your prize!
Pikmin introduces you to Captain Olimar as he crash-lands on a strange planet. Small creatures, called Pikmin, assist him in repairing his ship and overcoming enemy attacks. A very enjoyable game that puts you in control of a large group of diverse Pikmin, each with their own strengths and weaknesses.New Play Control! Pikmin Cijfer:
9,0A fun game, but can be annoying at times.
Exploring new areas with your Pikmin army is really enjoyable. However, I often feel rushed due to the limited time available. Additionally, the Pikmin don't always do exactly what you want them to do, which can be frustrating, especially when you lose an important battle because of this. Nevertheless, it is truly satisfying when you finally discover a new part for your spaceship, and New Play Control! Pikmin is simply a fun game that everyone should try at least once. Therefore, I would definitely recommend this game. Cijfer:
8,0Improved Motion Controls Enhance Gameplay
New Play Control! Pikmin is a port of the classic Pikmin game that originally appeared on the GameCube. Thanks to the new motion controls made possible by the Wii, it adds more precision and accessibility, making the game even better.
Graphically, Pikmin stays true to its colourful and cheerful style. The Wii version doesn’t offer huge visual upgrades, but the vibrant colours and delightful environments still look great and invite exploration. It feels fresh, and the unique world of plants and insects feels alive.

The main innovation of New Play Control! Pikmin is the motion control system thanks to the Wii-mote and Nunchuk. Where you used a joystick to control your Pikmin on the GameCube, you can now aim with precision simply by pointing the Wii-mote. This makes it easy to select specific Pikmin or aim accurately when throwing them. The adjustment feels intuitive and makes it easier to defeat enemies and collect items. This control method has become the gold standard for these games.
The gameplay remains exciting and addictive. In the game, you assist Captain Olimar in surviving on a strange planet and collecting parts of his broken spaceship. You must carefully direct your Pikmin to defeat enemies, overcome obstacles, and bring parts back to base. Each type of Pikmin has unique traits, and combining these traits requires strategic thinking. You can only have a total of 100 Pikmin running around at once. Depending on your objectives, you need to choose how many of each type of Pikmin you take. Red Pikmin can withstand fire and are good fighters, blue Pikmin can handle themselves underwater, and yellow Pikmin are perfect for conducting electricity. Strategy is essential! The time limit can sometimes create stress, but it adds to the challenge. It requires planning to manage your Pikmin and time efficiently.
New Play Control! Pikmin is a successful re-release that has become the definitive version with improved controls. For fans of strategy and adventure games, this is an excellent title, especially if you missed the GameCube version. Hide. Cijfer:

Improved controls make Pikmin on the Wii worth it
New Play Control! Pikmin is a fun and original game. I found it very enjoyable on the Gamecube, only the controls weren't that great. The Wii controls work a lot better, but if you already have the Gamecube version, I wouldn't buy this one. If you don't have it yet, then go for it :) Cijfer:

Fun game, but not very innovative for Gamecube players
New Play Control! Pikmin games, as I've mentioned in my previous reviews, are somewhat weak remakes of good Gamecube games. This is the same case with Pikmin. The game is an exact copy of the Gamecube version with Wii controls, but that doesn't add much to the gameplay... The game is definitely enjoyable, so if you haven't played the Gamecube version, this version is worth checking out! Cijfer:
8,0Pikmin gives you the space to explore
New Play Control! Pikmin is a strategy game. Personally, I quite like this game because it allows you the freedom to explore. It's also fun that you can control 3 different colored pikmin, each with their own special abilities. You have to repair Captain Olimar's broken ship by sending out the pikmin. You might think it's easy, but you also have to consider the sun, because when it gets dark, you need to return all the pikmin to their sleeping spots, or else you'll leave them behind. Cijfer:
8,3Great for those who are new to Pikmin
New Play Control! Pikmin is a really fun game and deserves a very high score. However, the game has already been released once on the GameCube, and many people are already familiar with it. For those who are not familiar with it, it is definitely a recommendation. It's very clever to revamp these games in this way. Cijfer:

This top game remains challenging
The game Pikmin is one of the best games I have played so far. The game has a good story, great graphics, and smooth controls (New Play Control).
I still find it a challenge to collect all the parts of your ship within the 30 days and I keep trying to do it faster each time. Pikmin is a game that I highly recommend.New Play Control! Pikmin Cijfer:

Delightful game!
Pikmin is a real must-have! You just have to have it in your collection. This game looks great and plays smoothly. It's not difficult and you can easily get into it. You won't finish the game in a snap, because there's plenty to do! You can really tell they put effort into the new controls, as they are so much better than Pikmin on the GameCube.New Play Control!

Quite Decent
Pikmin is a fun game, but it's a shame there are only 3 types of Pikmin and that it's for 1 player. I would recommend getting New Play Control! Pikmin instead, as it's more enjoyable. Cijfer:

A fun and engaging game
Pikmin is a fantastic game that revolves around exploring an unknown world and leading small creatures called Pikmin. The game is developed by Nintendo and is available on both the Wii and the GameCube.
However, the Wii version of New Play Control! Pikmin is superior to the GameCube version due to the improved controls. The use of the Wii Remote makes it easier to aim and move the Pikmin, making the game more intuitive. Cijfer:
