Famitsu rates Pikmin

    Japan's Famitsu Weekly has reviewed Shigeru Miyamoto's latest game, the GameCube title Pikmin, giving it 34 points out of a possible 40. With individual reviewer ratings of 9, 9, 8, and 8, Pikmin's score gives it a Famitsu Gold Award, and should give Japanese gamers another reason to pick up a GameCube.

    Pikmin is currently due out in December in North America, with the Japanese version shipping this week.
