I'm not able to say yet whether the game will be better without the time limit. All I'm saying is that I loved the first Pikmin without ever giving a second thought to the time limit, and I find it strange that it annoys you people so much.
I'll be getting Pikmin 2 on Friday, once I play it a bit I'll be able to tell whether it's better off with or without it. You could be right, the removal of the time limit could make the game more fun. I'm just dumbfounded about how it ruined your experience of the first game.
The fact remains: the time limit in Pikmin, because of the particular storyline, worked. It added a sense of urgency while still leaving margin for error and extra time for resourceful players. The first game would have been incredibly easy (i.e. boring) without it's time limit.
That's all I'm saying,
