I'll likely get it when the price drops to about $20.

Hmm if it ever drops that low. It's rare for Nintendo first-party games. But that'd be a great deal, obviously. Maybe you can get it that low 2nd hand.

Not gonna pre-order because there's not any kind of pre-order bonus and I'd rather wait a couple of days for feedback from reviews and stuff, since this is gonna be my first Pikmin game (aside from the Pikmin minigame on NintendoLand )

I don't think there's a point in waiting for a price drop on this one since it might take quite some time, considering this is a big Nintendo title... Just look at NSMBU. It's still priced between $40-$60 everywhere I see.

I never played the original, and since there's not a lot of games I want to buy for the Wii U this year, I might get it during the 1st month if I find it cheap somewhere. Maybe wait til there's 2nd hand copies.

I'm not expecting everything to be perfect I think Nintendo are rushing this a bit.

They're rushing it because the Zelda team said they want to deliver a better experience for the "true HD Zelda on the Wii U" but that's taking them longer than expected so they want to give something to Zelda fans anyway.

I like how everyone is quick to pass this off as a "KID" game.

 

That's like saying Ni No Kun is only for kids

That's like saying Pokemon is only for kids

That's like saying Pikmin is only for kids

That's like saying Little Big Planet is only for kids

Agreed.

Let's just wait because I'm sure this game offers more depth other than just being a superhero game with a bunch of pretty visuals and awesome moves.

looks very cheesy 

I wonder if this will also have a comedy component to fight all the cheesiness of the storyline.

I think it won't go the same way. Video Games was Sega's entire business so the Saturn basically bankrupted them. Gaming accounts for only part of Microsoft's business, so they can afford to throw money at the One until it succeeds.

Microsoft has been making a lot of mistakes lately, i.e. Windows 8 and Windows Phone but unfortunately they're still rich enough that they can afford all these mistakes, even if the Xbox One comes out last in this next gen. And as much as I'd like to see M$ go down, the Xbox One will probably sell reasonably enough.

I'm not sure if or when am I getting a 'next-gen console', since I just recently bought my Wii U and I'm pretty happy with it, but the obvious choice will always be PS4.

Does playing the Pikmin minigame on Nintendo Land count? Because if so, that experience got me really interested in buying Pikmin 3.
