      I would personally love a ton of detailed difficulty options to make the game as harsh as possible for those that want it (less time to save pikmin, higher kill limits on enemy attacks, being able to double the health on enemies, etc). I honestly don't expect that Ultra Spicy mode in 3 Deluxe is going to deliver the type of challenge that fans are asking for.

    I actually have a cool idea for how they could implement caves. My idea is that the main games has no caves and is more like 1 and 3 but after you beat it you unlock a second campaign with slightly altered version of the existing levels but this time there aren’t many service treasures and they add in caves. That way they don’t have to make new levels but the caves aren’t just on a select screen where you can choose random caves. This also means that you can have shorter above ground areas and you have a Pikmin count that carries across everything. Another idea I have is that after you beat the final boss you can go back to the main areas on that save and there will be caves. It would act like a post game quest.

    As for Pikmin types and hazards, these are my ideas (just 2, as each pikmin game introduced 2 types each game):
    -Green Pikmin: Resistant to Acid. It looks like the blue pikmin, but small like the white pikmin, with a small mouth and yellow eyes. All other pikmin die in acid instantly. The captains need an upgrade to survive in acid.
    -Orange pikmin: Parasitic pikmin. This pikmin takes over small creatures like bulborbs. This would bring back the bulbmin and introduce new types of monster pikmin that could do various things. (in Pikmin 2, when the bulbmins were buried, the stem was orange)

      It brings those older games to a much wider Audience of people in the modern day who might not know much about Emulation, or are too Young to have an interest in going back to play older games through emulation.
      I'm just a person who really enjoys being able to play those older Games all in one place on the More Recent and Convenient Consoles.

    Two stories centering on two separate teams
    Olimar, Louie, the President and a newcomer, perhaps Olimar's son taking up the mantle?
    Koppaites, but with a similar newcomer (perhaps 'D' as seen in concept art?)
    have them intertwine at points, almost like it was in Pikmin 3, but with you actually getting to play as Olimar and Louie, or even something kind of akin to SA2, where you play either side of conflicts between the two (having Pikmin fights as a boss battle would be veeery interesting)
    4 player co-op as standard for either story, but still fully playable in single player or any number between the two
    center the hocotate story on collecting pokos as always, with treasure as the main focus
    center the koppaites' story on collecting fruit, perhaps maybe even some kind of master seeds that are ultra fertile where the seeds they originally brought back failed to cultivate
    this would give reason to bring back caves, with the hocotatians looking for bigger treasures and the koppaites needing to travel deep beneath the planet's crust to retrieve these master seeds
    but these collectibles should be relevant to BOTH parties - give the hocotatians the need to collect fru- er... veggies I guess, to maintain their day-to-day wellbeing, just like the koppaites in pikmin 3, and give both the ability to use the pokos they collect for some sort of purpose (perhaps hocotate freight has advanced to the point that they run a galaxy-sprawling delivery service that can supply the player with upgrades, a la chibi pc in chibi-robo? but maintain separate upgrades acquired through treasures found, and make those same treasures recoverable by the koppaites - this would add an extra layer to the hocotatian gameplay, where you balance upgrading your captains and achieving whatever poko goal is set for you)
    but - and maybe this is controversial - add sparklium to the mix. nowhere near the main collectible, but as a necessary resource needed to power the ship, needing some basic low amount (10 seeds or something) to reach orbit at night, and maybe 25 to move to a new area (still needing to unlock them through story progression in the traditional fashion) and - and here's the kicker - make night fully playable and the punishment in the case you can't harvest sparklium in time (maybe even have sparklium only "bloom" in the daytime) and make night time CRAWL with enemies, much like we see in the end of day cutscene at takeoff, but EVERYWHERE. but give it value of its own - a lot of enemies means a huge opportunity to lose pikmin, but also a huge opportunity to harvest pikmin. and maybe there's a certain kind of enemy that only comes out at night: breadbugs. night could reveal hidden nooks and passageways that act as the creatures' nests, where they have hoarded fruits, treasures, even sparklium to be collected en masse for huge hauls, but always blocked by the biggest of challenges, from hordes of bulborbs, snagrets, armored cannon beetles, the worst the series has thrown at us, maybe even bosses - and if you harvest the sparklium you need (or you had it and decided to stay behind for the bonus loot) you can lift off any time you like
    I think I'd even make the onion(s? probably never return to multiple after pikmin 3, not sure how I feel but whatever) damageable at night, dropping stored pikmin (in whatever amount you need to match the pikmin cap and then one to one as pikmin die) and needing a certain amount of time to be restored before it can be used again, either to hold pikmin or produce pikmin, thus adding extra risk to night time
    and to add to that, I think I'd add structures that can be built up - like instead of tearing down dirt or glass walls just to lose the pieces to the wind, they can be carried back to your base and used to fortify defenses for the night - maybe enemies like bulbears and other aggressive predators try to invade your base and can be stopped, or at least stalled, with these barriers
    and I'd even argue it'd be interesting to revisit ship parts as a concept - maybe not quite so dire as "you're going to die if you don't get these" (though that might be fun) but at least make them upgrades of sorts: better juice production, better sparklium consumption, make the map unlockable, and then radar functionality unlockable, perhaps hide the hocotate store behind a communcation satellite ship part, a medical bay for wounded captains to heal a la Pikmin the first - I'm sure others more creative than I could imagine further possibilities
    this way each day (which I'd suggest lengthening due to all of this added nonsense) is packed full of things that would warrant the increase of player count (and an AI system to direct non-player captains)
    - harvest pikmin
    - build bridges and clear out obstacles
    - collect fruit
    - collect treasure
    - collect sparklium (in a similar manner to ultra spicy and bitter berries, where the trees grow 5 seeds per harvest and produce seeds 6 times a day cycle)
    - collect ultra berries
    - harvest nectar
    - search for ship parts
    and ultimately prepare for the caves, for those all-important mega treasures and master seeds that the game basically centers around
    I love the 4 area standard, but I think I'd double it, make it 8, with 3-4 caves a pop, and make the mega treasures so valuable you'll need to do about 16 caves to meet that goal, and likewise set the koppaites' master seed goal at around 16
    and bring back every kind of pikmin gosh dang it! If you need to make certain combat encounters ridiculous in order to justify the extreme strength of purple pikmin, do it! or slow them down even further, make their leaf speed in p2 their flower speed in p4, so it's a huge risk to bring them around
    another kind of pikmin would be cool, also, like the orange pikmin from 251, immune to explosions (and also limited to candypops in caves like purple and white) though I'd go all out and give them a full on beetle shell, or cyan pikmin with really thick fur that makes them immune to ice in some form
    I think all of this tossed together like a fan dream salad (ew) would be the ultimate pikmin title

    I have a killer idea. (Arlo if you see this I have no prob if you talk about it ;) ). MAGNET PIKMIN. They can pull out metal doors or stuff like that to access new areas. Carry metal objects with less, similar to how purple pikmin can carry 10x. In combat you can throw a group of 3 or 5 of them that act as one projectile b/c they are all connected through the magnets. When they hit an enemy it does 1/2 damage per pikmin (but if there 5 thats still 2.5 times damage of normal enemies) and disperse on contact once returning to individuals. If you agree like so Arlo will notice this.

  • @DaThings
    @DaThings 4 года назад +62

    I think just about every game can benefit from the Supergiant Games approach to difficulty:
    The base difficulty is manageable, but not too easy. Then there's an in-universe thing that lets you pick specific ways to make the game harder for yourself (enemies hit harder, there are more of them, you move slowly, etc.), in exchange for greater rewards. But it also lets you turn them off if you feel you've bitten off more than you can chew. I GREATLY prefer this over basic difficulty modes, and Pikmin could totally do something like this.

    How about a level in a toxic junkyard where u need to use purple, rock and white pikmin to break glass obstacles, move metal objects, and traverse hazardous waste. A ruined house level where you need to use the mobility of winged pikmin to traverse the cliff-like counter tops of a run-down kitchen. Or even a level where, depending on the constantly shifting weather, it changes between a flooded forest or a dire desert. The ideas are limitless.

It's a pikmin-like where you're an evil overlord and you command your army of minions to take over the world by either enslaving everyone and everything you meet or by being pure evil and just straight up killing them all. I played it as a kid before I even knew what pikmin was and I loved it. It has a sequel too, personally I think the first one is better but that may just be nostalgia speaking and both games are great. If you need your pikmin itch scratched I don't see how you wouldn't enjoy them.

    What I love about the caves is the fact that the boss battles are in them. In Pikmin 3, you're right in the middle of a climactic final battle, and then all of the sudden we cut to our heroes going back to the ship, drinking juice and planning for the next day to continue the final battle. It is really annoying!
    So basically, I want each section to have one cave area (doesn't actually have to be a cave, just a maze where time stops), and each of these have the boss of that area.

    Ideas for Arlo's pitch video:
    (adding more while going through the video)
    Caves are explored at night.
    Randomly generated events, sometimes needed certain Pikmin types ect, similar to the wolfpup thing.
    Some sort of secondary collectable, like Koroks in BOTW, maybe these can be used to upgrade your Captain's abilities.
    If Pikmin 4 adds another Captain bringing the total to 4 then they would need to you can set certain tasks for them instead of just 'Go Here' so something like 'Break Down this Wall' 'Get this Collectable' stuff like that.
    Multiplayer in the campaign (obviously), Piklopidia (with being able to throw Pik Pik Carrots at Creatures like in 2).
    Level Editor:
    Imagine a Smash Ultimate style editor but from a Top-Down perspective. You can make Caves on a grid or just drawing them out! Select a terrain type, add enemies, win conditions, how long you have to complete it or turn the clock off entirely! There's loads of stuff you can do with it.

    So, I've done programming in the past, and one thing I learned is that no implementation is as simple as it appears when you first look at it. When you said extremely simple to implement, my heart dropped. No, Arlo, a level editor with online content is not a simple thing to implement. Even pushing aside the nearly universal and completely infantile fascination with phalli, it's not hard to draw conclusions from Mario Maker that such a thing would be a nightmare to administrate, not to mention Nintendo's unfortunate tendency to view bugs and glitches as shameful and dishonorable. I can get behind a lot of things in this video, but that is one that I cannot support. A level editor is a humongous undertaking, and should never be taken lightly.

    My wishes for Pikmin 4 storywise: Hocotate is leading a interplanetary colonization program, directed by no other than Olimar's boss, the President. He suggests sending Olimar (and his family) to planet PNF404, despite having poisonus oxigen the resources of the planet are valuable enough to be worth it. Once you arrive in planet PNF404 your family will start giving you quests, and they may even join you in them. As you progress your base improves and expands, and that may attract other hocotatian colonizers to join your colony! Maybe even kopaite ones too! Quests may include repair a power station using your yellow pikmin, get rid of some pesky creatures who keep eating the crops, or get certain resource from a near cave. The end goal of the game is to build a succesful colony.

      did you consider it fits so perfectly that you could perhaps consider Pikmin 2 to be a rougelike, just with the twists Nintendo like to put when making their own take on a genre.
