    Arlo, if you want a really tough Pikmin challenge, I recommend trying to beat the main story while collecting all fruit in 10 days, which is the fewest possible days to do that. I’ve been playing Pikmin for years and years and this is still a really tough challenge for me. I think you’d really like it.

    Pink Pikmin I find the absolute cutest thing ever created. I think every Pikmin type is absurdly cute but the Pink Pikmin just take it to the highest level

  • @DesignDoc
    @DesignDoc 3 года назад +511

    Ultra Spicy is very underwhelming. The only thing it makes noticeably more difficult is the fight against the Quaggled Mireclops due to the tighter drowning time limit. Elemental deaths in general are faster but there are not enough enemy types that take any real advantage of it and the extended whistle range makes it even less of a real problem. Pikmin 3's fundamental enemy design doesn't lend itself to a more interesting challenge due to how forgiving they are in general with them being slow to start attacking, there being too many ways to stun, and Pikmin kill limits that are way too reserved. This is most obvious with the mini-bosses.
    Another issue with the fundamental difficulty is that Pikmin walking speeds are also now unified when they follow you instead regardless if they're a leaf or a flower so your squad's hitbox is way smaller. Enemies weren't really tweaked to take this into account, making them even less capable of picking off stragglers. This is most obvious with the Scornet Maestro fight.
    Now the lower difficulty is great for getting newcomers into the series but c'mon Nintendo! Give me the option to let enemies be able to wipe out over a quarter of my squad if I'm not careful.
    Edit: Also Yellow Pikmin are probably the cutest, at least after the shorts came out.

      The paint is static and in the same place for every single player in the match. Which is much easier to do than keeping track of 100 individual characters which constantly move around and need to be controlled properly. I'm not trying to justify nintendo not adding multiplayer, I think they should have, but from a game design and coding perspective, pikmin online is much harder to pull off properly than splatoon.

      That's only if you are playing with random people. In Pikmin you would most likely be playing with friends (playing with random people would get kind of toxic, they might keep ruining it). Sure, there's still the small possibility of high ping, but you can always just... Not play with friends online. It's not like you need to do it. After covid, it wouldn't be nearly as necessary to be online anyway. And if you really need to, you might be able to find a way to get a better connection.

      There used to be pointer control on the Wii U, which were replaced by the gyro on the switch version. You can select gyro control in the menu to use it as a pointer. Some would argue that its not working really well. I find it good enough. The downside is that you always have to recalibrate the gyro by clicking on R, and so you lose a button to change your pikmin type.

      Ever since pikmin 2 i wanted coop campaign, but challenge mode and 2 player battle were great too.
      My brother and I played through everything in co-op, and our general rule was we each get half the pikmin which in ultra spicy means a cap of 30 each which really limits what you can do because sending 1 thing back significantly lowers your damage output making fights much deadlier.
      The only complaints i have are that battle bingo is kinda boring with just 2 people and that the main story is very linear for a pikmin game. (Easiest to measure by how much of the game is left after you get blues, in pikmin 1 you still have 1 entire area and most of the level you find them plus the minor revists. In pikmin 2 you still have most of Valley of repose, the perplexing pool, and wistful wild plus small parts of awakening wood. In contrast with pikmin 3 you get them and should have about 1 days work at each area if you don't just go straight to the final boss fight.) I don't have anything against linear games in general but pikmin is basically the best console RTS ever made so its weird that in pikmin 3 you are so limited in what order you can complete the game in.

      @@TheScripflipNetwork i took me seeing a video analysis on why pikmin was such a weird game at the time to realize that it was fundamentally an RTS, mainly because it doesn't play anything like a traditional RTS like starcraft. (Other things it mentioned was how many playstation and xbox games were going for dark and grey stuff like resident evil, and then pikmin has brightly colored pellets with numbers on them and other goofy stuff on a photorealistic map/level.)
      But up until seeing that video i considered pikmin to be its own class of games, something nothing else really matched, and its only now that i understand why its in a class of its own. Its a 3rd person console RTS collectathon, and originally it was single player, then it had multiplayer side modes (2 player battle is awesome in pikmin 2), and finally it has coop main story mode.

We skip a lot of games because we don't have the funds for them, but this was a must have. Now I've replayed the entire game like 6 times, by myself and with my brother in co-op, and we've poured hours into getting as good of scores on the time challenges as we felt we were capable of. They were fun, but they were bite-sized Pikmin content we could play over and over. I love this game so much now, it's hard to believe I didn't care about Pikmin at all until Deluxe.

    Pikmin 3 is my comfort game (at least the main story... the challenge mode has the opposite effect). The music and the visuals are just so relaxing, and I don't even have a problem with the difficulty. Sure if I was in the mood for a challenge then maybe I'd want it to be harder, but as it is its a very chill and relaxing game for me. It helps that I hate it when Pikmin die, so having easier ways to avoid Pikmin deaths is nice.

I haven’t played the demo for 4 yet but the trailers make it look like all the previous games in one, and I’m hoping it’s a lot more expansive than 3, which has a short story and then two mission modes to supplement the run time. Also it runs at 720p 30fps, which is kinda ridiculous for a full price switch game. Don’t get me wrong though it’s definitely a great game worth buying on sale or used though.

      @jasonreed7522 Год назад +1

      If you know that day is comming you can just not collect the fruit from the first boss. Collect the corpse and bring the fruit back to base but don't actually collect it. Sadly the boss corpse despawns after 2 days (so you can get it the next day only), this means you can't give it to the blues like i wanted to.
      The most impactful difficulty change is the reduced max field count, specifically when playing co-op because you then split the cap for a personal limit of 30, and that makes it harder to push separately as if you send something back you may only have 20 pikmin to fight with, and thats a recipe for losing more pikmin since its harder to rush down enemies and minibosses.

      You see, unlike his spin-off series, Mario, there is not a lazy main game in the DK series. The original trilogy is a series of Arcade classics, and holds the only instance of evil Mario. The Country series holds many of the best classic platformers and have some of the best presentation on the Super Nintendo. Jungle Beat is an amazing, often forgotten experience that is impossible to find elsewhere. And then the reborn series of DKC holds the best platformers of prehaps all time.
      DK is not only an icon, but he's been there since the beginning and only produces quality. All hail the King of the Jungle Beat.

    I've tried the demo, and I think I'll make the purchase with my next paycheck. The demo *really* sold me on it.

    I've played and loved Pikmin 1 and 2, but never got 3 due to not owning a Wii U. So glad the Switch version seems to have a whole lot going for it, and I couldn't be happier that Co-Op was brought back.
    Great video as always, Arlo!

    I know not everyone liked them but I do miss the underground cave dungeons from Pikmin 2. If we never had them we would have never had the incredibly terrifying Waterwraith level. They need to bring back those dungeons for Pikmin 4.

    Ever since I played Pikmin 3 on the Wii U, I've been wondering if the difficulty would be more balanced if you had to drink one juice per captain. It always seemed weird to me that the amount of required juice per day remained the same regardless of how many captains you have. This would result in some interesting difficulty scaling since you start with only one, gain another, then go back to one, and then eventually gain Charlie. Perhaps you could even require four per day after obtaining Louie, requiring you to pick up the pace or even take a break from the final area to go hunt for juice. What would be really interesting is if feeding your captains was a choice, rather than an obligation. You can only use the captains that get fed, meaning you can keep one or two captains in the ship to conserve your juice at the cost of efficiency. Naturally, the most efficient players will be able to have max captains the entire time without issue, but if it's balanced effectively it could make for a tight squeeze to pull that off. Given that certain bosses can only be reached with all three captains, it would definitely need to be for experienced players only.
