Animal Crossing Roped In To Help Promote Pikmin Re-Release

8:30PM Luke Plunkett | So, GameCube classic Pikmin is being re-released on the Wii. For older, pre-Wii Nintendo fans who probably already played it, it’ll be a tough sell. So Nintendo figure Pikmin-themed DLC for Animal Crossing might help. More »

10:16AM David Wildgoose | Last week we showed you the awful boxart for the “New Play Control” Wiimake of Pikmin. Today we can tell you when it’s coming out: February 26.
