Anyway, as a younger child I found Pikmin an astonishingly fun game to play. The gameplay feels incredibly solid and it also seemed very adorable. If you've got a GameCube I'd seriously recommend getting Pikmin.
I don't know if you can download a WiiWare GC Emulator, but if you can Pikmin would be awesome with motion sensors, in my opinion.
Pikmin is an amazing game. There is a GameCube version and a Wii version. The only difference is that the Wii version uses different controls, and I think that a few glitches were fixed. Very adorable, addicting, it will get you into RTS', I definitely recommend it. So if you have a Wii, you should get the Wii version. I only have the Gamecube version though.
Both (and hopefully Pikmin 3) are AMAZING games, but Pikmin 2 is a HUNDRED times better on SOOOO many ways here's a few, 1) Your not timed to complete the game unlike in 1. 2) You get a new character to help you on you "epic quest". 3) There is a "new game+" thing where it unlocks a new area that is completely new to the series (but has the most annoying "dungeons" ever, and has the best treasures as well). 4) They added new enemy's, pikmin, and a whole new kind of pikmin/enemy, Bulbmin!
