I guess yay!? Pikmin is coming to the Wii this November in Japan. Even though this sounds like it should be unbelievable news, it really isn’t. It’s not because we hate Pikmin or anything like that — in fact, we feel the game was one of the best to come out last generation. We’re just kinda ‘blah’ about the announcement because it’s not a sequel — we’re getting a port of the original Pikmin that was released on Gamecube seven years ago. Heck, if Nintendo decided to give us a port of the RTS, couldn’t they given us the sequel, at least that version was better!

The game was announced during Nintendo’s fall conference in Japan. President Satoru Iwata also confirmed during the briefing, that this was going to be the first of a series of games to be released on the Wii, which made an appearance on the Gamecube. The other game to be released; Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat. Why? We have no clue! I guess Nintendo has truly ran out of ideas…
