I've also tried to go back to both the original Pikmin and the New
Play Control and I find them almost unplayable. Pikmin 3's controls
are so good, it's incredibly difficult to go back.
I would LOVE it if they remade the 1st two Pikmin's with Pikmin 3's controls. But I certainly don't have my hopes up.
For a 100% fruit speed run (without glitches) 12 days is the goal. And doing 9 days while getting limited fruit can be a nice warm up. I've done this tons of times, and yes it has cut into my time for playing other games.
If you have fun I would be MORE than happy to give the basic formula I
use for the 12 days but for now, I'm just thankful that Pikmin 3 is
still part of the conversation at RFN.

Do you feel that Nintendo is releasing too many Zelda games? From 2011 through 2016 there will have been Ocarina of Time 3D, Skyward Sword, Four Swords Anniversary Edition, Wind Waker HD, A Link Between Worlds, Hyrule Warriors, Majora's Mask 3D, Tri Force Heroes, Hyrule Warriors All-Stars, and Zelda Wii U. While of course not Mario levels of exposure, is Nintendo running the risk of taking away Zelda's event status?

"Help us stop this atrocity of a game from bearing the beloved Metroid franchise name and make Nintendo halt production on it."
This is a quote from a petition that already has 12,000 signatures on it. While I understand the disappointment of Metroid fans (I was hoping for a side-scrolling sequel to Metroid Fusion myself) don't you think this is a bit over the top? Do you think this is a reasonable response to the Metroid Prime: Federation Forces announcement? And, of course, most importantly, which of you will be signing this petition?
