Pikmin, New play control for the Wii ($27.99-29.99) .
This game is actually a remake of the Gamecube game by the same name, and is part of a new series Nintendo is putting out of Gamecube Masterpieces. I loved this game on the Gamecube and always wanted to see what it would be like with the Wii since its controls lend it so well to the system.
The new controls make the game seem much better than before. You just point in one area and can send Pikmin doing a task in no time. The premise is that Olimar's ship is hit by an asteroid and he crashes onto a strange planet. He meets the Pikmin and then with their help finds the pieces to fix his spaceship. He just wants to get home, but since the pieces are scattered everywhere he must go on an adventure with the Pikmin to find every piece and meet new creatures, objects and plants along the way.
The battle system basically throws a Pikmin onto a creature and the Pikmin fight it until it is dead. They then transport the corpse to their Onions, which are their homes, for food and to make new Pikmin. It is such a fun game that most gamers who have played the series before are purchasing it for the Wii and awaiting the update to Pikmin 2 and the release of Pikmin 3, which will be the first new game of the series on the Wii.
