:Well, the American boxart is the Nintendo Selects version, so it's too flashy to show off the art properly. The European version uses different art from the one most people recognize, so I'd say the Australian version is the go-to version. — '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 07:25, 21 May 2012 (EDT) | :Well, the American boxart is the Nintendo Selects version, so it's too flashy to show off the art properly.

== Sequel == | |||
I'd honestly mark the sequel as P3, not P3D. The reason is because P1 and P2 are obvious sequels, and meant to be played one after the other by fans. When the NPC! games launched, they were a way to bring some GameCube titles people might not have played onto the Wii. As such, the market audience for the NPC! titles is people who have never played the GameCube games and will enter the franchise with these NPC! titles. As far as those players are concerned, NPC!P1 and NPC!P2 are the two main Pikmin titles, meant to be played one after the other, and just happen to be rereleases. After that, there is a long hiatus until Pikmin 3, and on a completely different console. By that point there is no longer the P1-P2, or NPC!P1-NPC!P2 connection. On top of that, NPC!P1 and NPC!P2 make more sense to be considered the same line not just because of what I said, but literally because they're part of the New Play Control! lineup, by name. P3D is a much different case like I said, but it's also not in the same "family" of remasters. — '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 14:10, May 17, 2021 (EDT) | |||
