I got this last night and played a ton of it. I never played any Pikmin game with the Wii Remote, so compared to the standard analog stick controls, the gyro pointer is revolutionary, and I love it. Stayed up way too late trying to Platinum the second mission, only to constantly fail by less than ten seconds. My dreams last night were spent strategizing, and when I woke up, I tried it again and got it on my first try with four seconds to spare.
...I also played through all of Olimar's missions, which were cake by comparison. A nice palate-cleanser.
But I read someone say that Hard mode is just the Wii U version's default difficulty, and Normal is easier than that? HMMM... well, I'm sticking with Hard mode for my first playthough, Ultra-Spicy does sound harder, but I dunno if having limited Pikmin would be as much fun! Part of what feels so great about these games is commanding an army of A HUNDRED, sixty just doesn't feel the same. |
