In case you didn't know, Pikmin 2 was recently released on Wii (in the US) and is $20.

If you were like me you probably whipped out your Gamecube during the days your Xbox red ringed. I played Pikmin all the time always trying to beat my old record and finding the fastest way possible to beat the game without using a guide. It was a sad day when I realized I didn't own Pikmin 2 and that it was $40 preowned at Gamestop.

Now for some reason, this game was released on the Wii in Japan and EU in 2009, but it didn't hit here until earlier this month after E3. I believed the announcement was at E3, but I had to look into it to find out more about the release of this game in NA. I bought it as soon as I found out and it is an amazing game with some nice Wii controls.

I know $20 isn't exactly cheap around here, but it is half of what you would have been paying for a used copy of Pikmin 2 and I know the announcement was quite small for this release. Just hoping anyone who was or has been interested in this game knows about it.
