Tech Dad: Nintendo Wii Games
Nintendo has just launched two new games, New Play Control! Pikmin and New Play Control! Mario Power Tennis.
New Play Control! Pikmin: Life under a microscope fantasy world, Pikmin delivers a unique experience like few before it with a blend of real-time strategy, adventure, and puzzle elements. You control Captain Olimar, a lovable little astronaut, who crash-landed on a planet inhabited by even more lovable little plant creatures known as Pikmin. Olimar can command these creatures RTS-style, assign them tasks, make them attack foes, and gather resources. The ultimate task is to rebuild Olimar’s space ship before a 30-day time window elapses. Command lovable little creatures RTS-style Rebuild Olimar’s space ship before a 30-day time window elapses.
New Play Control! Mario Power Tennis: Step out on to the court and get ready for tennis like you’ve never experienced it before as Mario and friends serve up sporty fun with a Mario-style twist. In New Play Control! Mario Power Tennis, the Nintendo GameCube hit is back with exciting Wii controls and a dazzling widescreen presentation. Pick up your Wii Remote and get ready to practice your swing with Mario and the gang as they take you on an unforgettable tour of the wackier side of tennis.

Tennis would be fun because you can control you own motions. And Pikmin just added a new tossing feature which would be easier than the old one. We don't own either game.
Thanks.

The Mario Tennis game looks most interesting to me. I used to play tennis all the time so it would be fun to use the wii and see how much worse I've become.

I am a Nintendo girl. I love Mario. I'm intrigued by the "wackier side of tennis" the game has to offer.
I've never played Pikmin, but I'm curious to see what happens if you don't rebuild his ship in 30 days? Does he get stuck there? Can you never play the game again? Is it like those first digital pocket pets from when I was a kid that just completely shut off if you killed them? Now I really want to play!

I like the twist in the Mario Power Tennis! 🙂
For the Pikmin, I like the combination of real-time strategy, adventure, and puzzles. I also like the graphics. This seems like a neat strategy/building game.
For Mario Power Tennis, I love the fact that you can actually practice your actual tennis swing by using the remotes. Forehands, backhands, spins, etc. All the real sport skills combined in a candy-like game that is sure to entertain both kids and adults.

My son loves to play the tennis sports package our Wii came with. It is hilarious to watch him and he kicks my boota at it. I think it would be even more fun for him to play the Mario version…who doesn't love Mario?

I like the E rating.
Both of the games look great. Please count me in!!
I love that my husband would love either game, tennis (he played in school) or pikmin because it would be fun with his girls
love its anytime play with the fee and no fancy clothes…just head into the lr
i like that the tennis game gets them moving!
My favorite feature: Command your own Pikmin army of up to 100 creatures at once. Cool!
I think the puzzle aspect of the games would be the most fun.

I love that the entire family can have fun as both games are rated E, so that's my very favorite feature.

I like that it's a similar setup to Mario Super Sluggers, where more casual players can hit and pitch while other players can have better control by using both devices (wiimote and nunchuck). We are renting a Mario game right now while our grandson is with us…He loves Mario and if I won it I would give it to he and his family (parents and siblings ages 4-13)

My favorite feature about the Pikmin game is Olimar can command these creatures RTS-style, assign them tasks, make them attack foes, and gather resources.

I also have to go with the E ratings! Plus it's nice to have more games that the whole family will enjoy!

The E rating
I think the cooles part is that they are two old games, but have been reved up to fit the Nxt-Gen standards. The best thing about Pikmin is probably that you get to move all the stuff just by moving the controller. You don't have to use the control pad. The best thing about the Mario Tennis game is the cool power-ups and how it might feel as if you are actually plaing tennis.
I like how Pikmin has rts with puzzles. I love the Mario one because you can choose from 15 characters and have up to 4 people.

I think I threw my arm out playing tennis on wii sports, and mario power tennis you can use your wii-mote the same way, and MPT is the best tennis game for the wii. The wii pikmin port you're able to control your character and the pikmin using your controller and nunchuck. It makes it a lot faster, easier, and more fluid in playing the game. Definite advantage over the original
