This is for those who think Gamecube games aren't available anymore....

Amazon.com says hi. You should try it sometime. I'm sure Pikmin will be no more than $20 on amazon.

Well this thread is sure helpful.

Nobody knew about Amazon before.

Thanks TC, for such a brilliant thread.

You do realize some people can't buy on-line, because either they don't have an internet connection or don't have a credit card?lancea34

I know, really.

And besides, I've seen Pikmin for as low as 6 bucks. You'd have to be a real sucker to pay $20 plus S&H for it.

You do realize some people can't buy on-line, because either they don't have an internet connection or don't have a credit card?lancea34

So basically, this thread is directed towards those who don't have an internet connection.

Good job TC!

Or a credit card.:P

Pay your mom the $6 and tell her to get you it online. Even if people don't have a card, there will always be a parent or friend that does. Problem solved. This was directed to people in the last topic who kept saying GC games weren't available and that they wanted remakes.

Another thing is, most places sell pay as you go Visa cards. So you can buy a $50 Visa card at Wal Mart or whatever, and then use it online. the_winner1234

If you buy a $50 visa card there is normally a $6 charge

Take Chrono Trigger for example. Why the f are people excited about a Chrono Trigger remake for DS? Shouldn't we be demanding Chrono 3? But there will never be a Chrono 3, people are just happy seeing the first one again, even though it's been released twice already.

It's diverting resources that could be used to making Pikmin 3 more awesome,

the_winner1234

A completely different team is working on Pikmin 3.

What in the world are you talking about?

You cannot go into a walmart and buy most GC games.goblaa

It's diverting resources that could be used to making Pikmin 3 more awesome, like the other guy was saying. Pikmin 1 is just plain unnecessary.

Here the thing about remaking a game it allows new people to get into a game. The more people into a game the better the odds are to make a sequel. Most remakes can be done with a small team and normally like a C or D team. Because there is very little that need to be done. This allows new programmers to learn more because normally these are not the programmers you want working on you game to begin with. Look at NG: Black and how it was not made with Igagaki.

I have been enjoying many remakes myself of FF3 and FF4 because I never played them the first time around. I don't think without a remake I would have ever played them. This is the same reason I am looking forward to the Star Ocean remake.

So really no one loses when a game is remade. In fact a remake is normally a good sign that a sequel may be coming.

What I am pointing out is that ALL Gamecube games are available. So there is no need for remakes. You are just feeding into Nintendo's money scheme. All GC games are available and yes, all of them work on your Wii! the_winner1234

ALL NES, SNES, N63, Turbo Graphix 16, SMS, Sega Genesis, and Neo Geo games are also available, but people aren't whining that the VC is a waste...

Why the double standard?

They are just reformatting the games to make them available for those who still want to play them or for those who never had, just like VC games. The only difference is that these will be on a disc and have some updated controls. Where's the problem?

"But they could make new games instead!" Making a new game is a huge project. Porting these is not. I'm betting a team of 3-5 guys can port one of these ina pretty quick amount of time. If Ninty was such a small company that sticking 5 devs on a side project actually hurt their capability to push out new games, then I think we would REALLY be seeing a lack of games, remake, new, or otherwise.

[QUOTE="goblaa"]You cannot go into a walmart and buy most GC games.the_winner1234

No, it won't work as well. It doesn't work anywhere near as well. You can't walk into amazon, you need a credit card for amazon, you need to be over 18 for amazon.

All three of these severly cut your customer base.

That's the point of remaking these. TO GET THEM ON SHELVES for people who missed them!

The more people who get to experience pikmin 1&2 on the wii for the first time, the more pikmin fans there will be ready to buy up pikmin 3 (which IS in development and is NOT being delayed by these remakes.)

I find it silly if you can't just pay your mom some money and get her to buy it for you online. You don't need to be over 18, just pay your parents and ask them to get it shipped under their name. Also, I've seen Pikmin at various EB Games and Gamestop. the_winner1234

2.) You're assuming the parents have internet access.

1) Even if they don't have a credit card, most people have a debit card with the Visa logo on it that links to their checking account. This is almost mandatory in today's world. If you were older, you'd understand.

2) You'd be pretty dumb to not have internet access in today's world.

3) If a kid has somehow gotten themselves a Wii, at some point money will come to them as well. If you can afford a Wii, you can afford to give your parents $20. There are plenty of places this money can come from...Christmas gift...birthday gift...it's silly to assume that kids don't have money, especially if they own an expensive console.
