You are making a very simplistic and unfounded assumption that the Pikmin series is somehow immune to the complexities and challenges of game development. You are ignoring the fact that each Pikmin game is a product of careful planning, design, testing, and refinement, which takes a lot of time and effort. You are also neglecting the reality that Nintendo is a company that has to balance its resources, priorities, and market demands, which may not always align with your expectations. You need to understand that the Pikmin series is not a linear progression of games that can be easily churned out at a regular pace. It is a creative endeavor that requires innovation, experimentation, and adaptation. Each Pikmin game has its own unique features, mechanics, and aesthetics, which make it stand out from the previous ones. For example, Pikmin 2 introduced two playable characters, caves, treasures, and purple and white Pikmin. Pikmin 3 added three playable characters, fruit, juice, and flying and rock Pikmin. Pikmin 4 added underwater exploration, new enemies, new bosses, and new Pikmin types. These changes are not trivial or arbitrary; they are the result of careful consideration and iteration by the developers. You also need to realize that Nintendo is not a monolithic entity that can focus on one game or series at a time. It is a diverse and dynamic company that has to manage multiple projects, platforms, and genres. Nintendo has to cater to a wide range of audiences and preferences, which may not always coincide with yours. Nintendo also has to deal with external factors such as competition, technology, regulations, and consumer trends, which may affect its decisions and strategies. Therefore, you cannot expect Nintendo to prioritize the Pikmin series over other games or series that may have more demand or potential. You should be more grateful and respectful for the Pikmin games that you have received so far, rather than complaining about the ones that you have not. You should appreciate the quality and polish of each Pikmin game, rather than demanding quantity and speed. You should also be more open-minded and curious about the other games and series that Nintendo has to offer, rather than being fixated on one particular franchise. You should be more humble and realistic about your expectations, rather than being arrogant and entitled about your desires. You are making a mistake by dismissing the possibility of a long wait for Pikmin 5 as ridiculous and unfounded. You are failing to see the bigger picture and the deeper meaning behind the Pikmin series. You are missing out on the opportunity to learn from the Pikmin games and apply their lessons to your own life. You are wasting your time by being impatient and bitter about something that you have no control over. You should be more wise and mature about your attitude towards the Pikmin series. You should be more patient and optimistic about the future of Pikmin 5. Thank you for using Bing! :blush:
I'm pretty sure Pikmin 5 is in development now, even if just in the brainstorming phase. Pikmin 4 was such a success, it was in top charts of Nintendo games for at least a month (if i recall correctly). Sure, it might not be a focus right now, but there's hope we see something new for Pikmin. 🤔
if they do, I hope they add more areas. What I don’t like about pikmin is that it’s a pretty short game, not as short as Kirby mind you, but still relatively short.
Here's my take: Pikmin 1 did okay. Pikmin 2 was supposed to save 1. But both didn't make nearly as much as they wanted. They didn't feel any pressure to make 3, because nobody really expected/cared about it. By the time 3 came around, it also didn't do as good as they wanted it to, so they just decided that people didn't care, and that they didn't really have to finish the next game in a certain time. Pikmin 3 deluxe comes around on the switch, and the devs make a lot of money from it, a lot more than vanilla 3. So when pikmin 4 came out and it became a hit, as well as 1 and 2 on the switch, they knew they found gold. So now, they have people who care and want more from pikmin, and wont allow the devs to just wait on pikmin forever. So yes, pikmin 5 is gonna come faster than pikmin 4
the old smaller community we were all part of, was content waiting 13 years for pikmin 4 because nobody really knew about it, it was a small backwater 1st party game.
the doctrine that the wait for pikmin 5 has the potential to be comparable to the wait for pikmin 4 or even the wait for pikmin 3 is ridiculous and unfounded
It’s very standard for dev teams to start work on the next game in their series after finishing development on the previous game. Pikmin 4’s dev team (EPS 10) is primarily focused on developing Pikmin games. Miyamoto himself said in an interview that “Pikmin teams are always working on the next game”. The question is if Pikmin 5 will get pushed back on the priority list again due to other titles. Hopefully after the success of Pikmin 4 this won’t happen.
My prediction is pikmin 5 will come out 4-6 years from now. If what the interview says is true, then it seems like Nintendo has a more dedicated team now.
See now, the problem with getting the Pikmin Fandom behind hype for a new game is that Pikmin's replayability is amazing, and the fans go at it over and over again. Why would I want to hype up for a new game that isn't coming for another 2-3 years at bare minimum? Additionally there was that interview soon after 3's release that confirmed another Pikmin game was in development, so many Pikmin fans will be understandably hesistant to give any heed to rumors or interviews.
This is unrelated to anything, but I really hope that the next mainline pikmin game isn't called pikmin 5. I want to see a little more creativity in the naming than just counting up. Idk, it's nothing crazy, but something I want to see!

There's so many people that never realize this.
Gah DAYUM, this is the best Pikmin related comment I have ever seen maybe???
TLDR please
DID BRO USE AN AI TO WRITE THIS?!?
that is alot of text.. gimme a min to read all of it fr

I always thought that pikmin 4 took so long because a worker accidentally pulled a Toy Story and deleted the entire game by mistake.

The full interview confirms hey pikmin is canon
hi flamsey
Treeborbs are a lie you silly goober
@@MeatballMusic praying on your downfall
@@flamsey aslong as I'm banned from pinkcord I am the destroyer of treeborbs
I don't know if you lie or not but this is COMMON KNOWLEDGE
i dont know what doctrine means
I’d like to think they when they were making pikmin 4 in like 2017 they were like 2 people making it

The question is if Pikmin 5 will get pushed back on the priority list again due to other titles. Hopefully after the success of Pikmin 4 this won’t happen.
But if Pikmin 4 was pushed back they probably already started working on 5 after 4 was finished anyway, meaning that 5 could be finished soon too?
yoo fran grams! its been a while since Ive seen your videos! keep up the good work!
“Pikmin 5 is in development and very close to releasing”
My prediction is pikmin 5 will come out 4-6 years from now. If what the interview says is true, then it seems like Nintendo has a more dedicated team now.
I think that they are gearing up towards a 2026 release window. That will make the series' 25 anniversary.
Honestly i can see pikmin 4 getting DLC.
Plus, if it took them this long to make pikmin 4, it might take just as long to make pikmin 5

Let’s go!
This is unrelated to anything, but I really hope that the next mainline pikmin game isn't called pikmin 5.
I want to see a little more creativity in the naming than just counting up. Idk, it's nothing crazy, but something I want to see!
I believe that Nintendo will make the most out of this new Pikmin craze and come out with Pikmin 5 as an early release for the next console.
Nice pfp
Hopefully dlc for pikmin 4
yes pikmin 5
In what way was 3 not successful? It was great.
Because Wii U
