I love all the little touches that Nintendo does like this. They're able to entertain you even when you're doing something mundane.
They made a Kirby game out of yarn, so they need to take a cue from the promotional images and give us a Pikmin game made out of clay.
Haha I don't hope that that's the case but word @goofierbrute, also this is so freaking cute! @Jordan Couldn't have said it better myself, HURRY email the big N!

Aahhh I always really loved that style they used in the ads.
Would really help differentiate it from other games out there (as if an RTS about guiding around a bunch of plant people wasn't anyway)

Geez Holmes, I can't imagine why anyone would think you have a Nintendo fetish in your reviews. ;)

Thanks for sharing, I went from DS Lite to 3DS so I wouldn't have been able to see this otherwise.
I agree with what peaceful panda said, one thing I love about Nintendo is how they inject their creativity into everything they do. For instance the Wii News Channel where you can zoom out and change the angle of a globe while spinning it really fast, I've spent an embarrassing amount of time messing with that feature. I also really like clicking on those kitties that pop up in the corner and give you tips, I love the meowing and squeaking noises they make.

@everyone, yes great Nintendo moment and super to have all my old dsi games back! Oh not long now for Zelda preordered copy waiting for me at HMV!
Was that your wife coughing her brains out in the background? Whoever it was, I hope they're alright.
Also, that was awesome. I love how Nintendo uses its characters to turn something boring into something entertaining. Although Mr. Shopping Bag on the eShop kind of disappointed me. What's with the magical neon fruit falling from a clothesline into a game cartridge and turning into juice?

That was pretty rad, but I think I'm going to go cry into my coffee and try for some new high scores in Pikmin now.
Do you think there are also alternate versions?
When you're downloading a VC/ware game on the Wii, sometimes you'll see Luigi instead of Mario, or Mario will be swimming instead of running. Could something similar also happen here?

@ ShadeOfLight- The Pikmin would carry the DSiWare games in different ways. Sometimes they'd break them into parts, sometimes, just two purple Pikmin would grab the whole game and flip it over, sometimes a group of multi-colored Pikmin would grab the whole thing, etc.
@ Jay Me- That would have been cool. For the record, I tried to control them, or move the camera or something. No dice.

Is it wrong that I kind of want to get a DSi and buy a game on it now... just so I can transfer to the 3DS?
Nintendo is awesome for these little touches. Everything that is usually just a boring progress bar is a small game. Even on the Wii the download process was somewhat interesting when Mario destroyed the blocks one after another. :)
I haven't even played a Pikmin game yet, shameful I know. I wish they had entered the public consciousness, instead of those obnoxious Angry Birds.
