In NEW PLAY CONTROL! Pikmin 2, Olimar doesn’t have to bear the burden of saving Hocotate Freight alone. Joining him this time around is fellow employee, Louie, who certainly hasn’t flown halfway across space just to make up the numbers.
Like Olimar, Louie can take full control of the planet’s Pikmin, and the option of switching between the two diminutive commanders whenever you like opens up a whole range of new strategic opportunities.
Both characters can independently lead squads of Pikmin off in different directions to perform separate tasks. A quick press of the – Button on the Wii Remote lets you jump back and forth between the pair, enabling you to take care of business much more quickly and effectively.
With so much precious treasure to find and danger around every corner, it might be pushing it to say many hands make light work. But being able to use the combined leadership skills of both Olimar and Louie as they direct the planet’s Pikmin certainly spreads the workload.
