I'm actually the same way. And to the people talking about Pikmin 2, yeah it's nice that you don't have the whole 30 day thing to deal with but what also got to me was the timer on individual days. I never felt safe dividing my pikmin squads up for fear that they'd either get eaten by something offscreen or I wouldn't have time to run back and collect them at the end of the day. Still, I'm very interested in the franchise and seeing what they do with it, especially if they expand on the cooperative elements of multiple captains and throw it online. Really, for demonstrating increased power with more intricate and larger pikmin groups, an improved online system with world-spanning co-op campaigns and competitive challenge modes, and even a demonstration for a controller-screen (could you imagine playing Pikmin with a real-time minimap showing you where your pikmin all are? Keeping track of things would be so much easier), Pikmin 3 could actually be a perfect showpiece for a new console.
