And you call yourselves Nintendo fans... *tsk tsk tsk*

Obviously the game is better without the time limit, judging by the great reviews.

That would be a valid argument, had the original not already gotten great reviews.

Being able ot play for hours defeats the purpose. If you had all the time in the world to gather your ship parts, the game would be not at all fun, especially since there is an almost unlimited amount of Pikmin you can simply recreate.

I'm not saying the game will be any better or worse, but under the circumstances and the goal of the first game was, essentially, a race against time. Having all the time in the world would make the game lose much of it's challenge and purpose.
