Corpse Party, bitches.
I just got this game and played through the first couple of days. I'm enjoying it, but I have one question: do you eventually unlock the directional march thing from the New Play Control Pikmin?

In the New Play Control games (well, the first one at least), you pressed down on the d-pad (I think), and you would play a little marching tune on your whistle and the Pikmin would march to where you're pointing. It was useful to get a large group of Pikmin to attack a wall or something instead of tossing them one at a time.

I haven't found anything like the directional march (it was the function of the C-Stick on the GCN versions) but if you haven't been using the charge feature you definitely want to be doing that. Lock onto something (Z on Wii Remote, ZL on Gamepad) and shake the nunchuck (or press B on the Gamepad controls), you have to be kinda close for it to work but the Pikmin will all swarm whatever you locked on to.

Oh, they haven't explained that to me yet. Thanks, it sounds like it'll work for what I'm looking to do.
