Hino: We did experiment with a two-player gameplay in the main game, but what we found was that if we were to design the entire single-player game around the possibility of a two-player cooperative mode, that would put limits on what we could do with the single-player game.
Hino: With Pikmin 2 we had much of the same development staff that we had on Pikmin 1, and we ended up going with a very similar image of what we wanted to do with the natural world in the game.
