If You Buy One Game This Week: Forgotten Classics

The game today is going to be: Pikmin

Format: Gamecube

Where can i find it: Ebay, Amazon , Play.com, Retro gaming shops

Example:

Price: anywhere between 5-15 pounds

Any sequels: Pikmin 2

What to look for: Pikmin is still in high demand for gamecube/wii owners so try to get the best price you can and get a copy fully boxed with the manual and the disc in good conditon.

Any other info: Nintendo is planning to release some of its forgotten Gamecube games and Pikmin is one of them!! The games will have full wiimote controls and downloadable extras. This will bring the price of the Game disk crashing down so then will be a great timeto buy as the game can still be expensive.

The story: Captain Olimar crashes on a strange planet and his ship is smashed into many different bits that are scattered around the planet. He has only 30 days until his air runs out so he must act fast!! He then encounters a strange ship called an Onion which sprout the Pikmin. Olimar “grows” the Pikmin and inlists their help to find the bits of his ship and  get back home.

SCORE: 9/10

Great level design, some super graphics and some exellent ideas from Miyamoto make this a”must have”!!!
