Honestly. You're lucky that you got the rereleases of the previous Pikmin games. Most franchises didn't get that, much less dlc. Where's F-zero gx? Where's punch out Wii? Where's Luigi's mansion 1? There's too many incomplete franchises on the switch to bother with dlc.
To be honest, Pikmin 4 already has multiple free DLC built in: Trial of the Sage Leaf and Olimar's Tale, both are separate experiences that could've been DLC but aren't. I think it's quite nice we just got a complete, traditional game.
Absolutely, couldn't have said it better. This game shipped in a complete state. With that said I definitely wouldn't mind more of one of my favorite games, but I'd rather they start working on a sequel earlier than to get some DLC soon.
When Arlo reacted to Pikmin 4 I was confused. Why is this so special? Now that I have played it as well as the other Pikmin games I can conclude that Arlo’s reaction is the same reaction I will have for the Pikmin 5 reveal
Is Pikmin 4 worth checking out? I bought 3 and gave it a spin and I'm wondering if maybe Pikmin just isn't for me. Maybe I'll try 3 again, but i don't want to sink another $60 just to confirm yep, this series isn't my type of game.
@@gregvs.theworld451Maybe pick up 1? I blasted through 1 and 2 and loved them but stopped 3 halfway through and haven't picked it up since, 1 is 29.99 on eShop
@@gregvs.theworld451 Depends what parts of 3 you didn't really enjoy. In 4 you only control one (or like one and a half) characters so the experience is much more focused, and you're not bound to an arbitrary time limit. You can explore and progress as you please.
I genuinely think Olimar's Shipwreck Tale, as well as the Sage Leaf Trials were considered DLC at first, but they wanted the game to get reviewed as positively as possible, to grow the fanbase bigger than ever, so they threw in those modes for free.
Actually, I think it’s the complete opposite. Pikmin has always been a niche series with only serviceable sales. There have been plenty of companies who have abandoned IPs who performed even better than Pikmin. Hell, even Nintendo has let go of some IPs that had even more broad appeal than Pikmin. I honestly believe that the only reason Pikmin is still alive is because Miyamoto still has a big presence at Nintendo. This has been his baby and it seems like he’ll do anything to keep it alive. I’m willing to bet that the reason for the long development was that he was fighting to get the project even greenlit (and I’m under the assumption that “Hey Pikmin” was the “new Pikmin” game he was talking about in 2014.
If they would even just add an option to disable the "Oh no, the poor pikmin!" messages that pop up literally every single time one pikmin dies, I would be ecstatic.
@@joshcoy6748 Yeah, all those enemies staying up late, spending savings on luxuries, leaving their valuables sitting around... How could Nintendo leave them so irresponsible?
Or just make auto lock on an option in the menu. Its my one actual major complaint with the game since it can genuinely make the game hell sometimes when you're surrounded by a horde and need to focus one specific enemy.
I personally used the Mario Odyssey logic of “probably working on the sequel for switch 2 instead.” Definitely glass half full. See ya in 10 years for Pikmin 5!
Hi, Australian here as well. I love how us Australians love to clearly point out that we are, in fact, Australians in the youtube comment sections, probably the funniest "stereotypical youtube comment" attribute on the platform 🤣
Depends on the context of the DLC. If it is content that should be in the base game being sold as DLC it is awful or a cash grab. If it is to add to an already amazing experience, it is well worth it
No. You'd think an Atlus fan especially would appreciate having DLC over being made to buy the rereleased deluxe version of the entire game to receive additional content.
@GeraldDatDudeJohnson But most DLC is claimed to be stuff that should've been in the game, even if it gets revealed after the game release and handled by a new-ish team, so that's not really an argument.
While I loved Pikmin 4 (Oatchi is a VERY good boy!), not every game needs DLC. Pikmin 4 already feels like a feature complete game. The worst thing you can say is the multiplayer feels like more of an afterthought than Pikmin 3, but the singleplayer is massive and Olimar's Shipwreck Tales would've been post-launch DLC in any other game.
I feel ya. But still, I would at least get SOME new things. A higher difficulty would be reall nice. Or the option to turn off the auto lock-on. Welp, maybe on the next Nintendo console, there will be a Pikmin 4 Deluxe...
Arlo has been waiting so long for Pikmin 4 that after getting and completing the game, he can’t handle the facf that the game has a proper end. Can’t blame him though, yet this may begin the first stage of grief, with Arlo denying the idea that Pikmin 4 not getting DLC.
@@uberculex post game is not getting all platinum ranks,most of those are easily achievable the first time through. No the stuff past the fake out credits isn't post game
Pikmin 4 is still on my "games to buy" list that I haven't bought. To be honest finding a job in my town is nearly impossible. Even the people that live in my town have to find work in a different town. So buying new games especially $60 games is almost impossible for me right now.
Wait, were we expecting Pikmin 4 DLC? Did they ever say it was in the cards? I never really thought on it and assumed it was a case of Mario Party Superstars where we get what we get and that's that. Of course DLC would absolutely be nice but if they never hinted at any then I don't understand the expectation.
I like Arlo but he tends to do this a lot were he expects something that was ether never expressed or is rushing something to release already. Nintendo is one of the few that actually takes their time with making games. He also just seems to have a thing for DLC in general. Like originally he scoffed at the idea of Splatoon 3 and thought it should just be DLC for Splatoon 2
it's just one of those games like odyssey where it's the most perfect fit for dlc, also they started showing these images that were clearly using a developer version of the game that implied there was some kind of 2 player thing going on, it was very strange
I'd say it's a combination of his love for Pikmin, the fact that 3 got dlc, and he just wants more yo play. I'd also love DLC, but I don't think precedent is set unless the previous 2 entries to a title get it. It's just wishful thinking otherwise
Seriously, I dunno where people are getting this idea.... it's actually stupid to believe dlc is coming. Edit: please @ me when the dlc does come out and tell me how wrong I was, even though I'm right. 😜
My biggest fear for this topic is that the new console will not be backwards compatible and will require you to buy Pikmin 4 again but with all that juicy new content (which sadly i would pay for anyway) and they are just saving DLC/more content to drop with a "rerelease"
"Flying Flatterchuck" really genuinely made me think a different four letter word starting with F- was about to cone out of the family friendly Arlo's mouth. 😂 Man's passionate about Pikmin so it almost wouldn't surprise me.
a lot of people in these comments seem to think a game getting DLC means it's 'incomplete' idk where that's coming from plenty of "finished" games get DLC because why not get extra?
Because we live in an era of incomplete releases and Post launch making up for a shallow one Sorry to be a party pooper, but that's just how Non nintendo games are doing
@@autismandgaming4532 Even for non-Nintendo games most so-called "incomplete" releases are lacking in QA not content. The only type of games where DLC is regularly anything like a necessary part of the "complete" experience are live-service games and those games are fundamentally never really finished.
@@autismandgaming4532 yeah I know a lot of examples but a lot of people here are saying 'pikmin 4 is complete it doesn't need DLC" when if they made one with like 2 more big zones would anyone really be upset with that?
That used to be the case, I dont think it is in the current gaming landscape, quick DLC pretty much always means something was cut out of the game to sell back to gamers at a higher price point
Nintendo: “Lol, what are you talking about? Pikmin 4’s already perfect, it doesn’t need additional content! …Why are you grabbing those pitchforks and torches…?”
What if games can just come out with a lot of content and not need any dlc? Olimar’s Tale and the Sage Leaf basically feel like free DLC, would people like them more if they had to pay for them?
I would like them _less_ if I paid extra for them. They were good little side things to do in an already great game, but if I had to pay more money just to access Olimar's Tale and especially Sage Leaf I would be disappointed that they were so short and insubstantial for the money.
I personally think we’re going to get at least something for four, either a series of small updates or one or two big dlc‘s stuff, and then they’ll start working on the fifth game.
I will die on the hill that the hats and outfits from Pikmin bloom should have been available. That way you can name and recognize each Pikmin in a crowd and get entirely too attached to them
Arlo has a point with the upgrades you can only get after the end of the game, imagine the amount of stuff you can do with being able to carry stuff as a Captain just in case you don't have enough pikmin
I had an idea for a dlc. Remember the president? I was thinking maybe he would go to PNF-404 on his own to find treasure to repay another debt. Maybe he could stumble upon new pikmin types (like 2 or even 3). Maybe he explores 2 new areas showing the strengths and weaknesses of the new pikmin types. He could also discover new neverbefore seen treasures. This is an idea I've been thinking about for a while and wanted to share it. Maybe the title of the dlc could be called: The Presidents voyage.
8:34 a level editor is something I had hoped for forever in pikmin, imagine the caves and levels that can be made, traps puzzles enemy placements… imagine if it was on the quality of forge in halo 3
Hey, I'm still wondering where the FLIP the next Star Fox game is? Reminder to everyone that Miyamoto stated in an interview after Star Fox Zero came out that he "wants to put more energy into Star Fox and Pikmin". It so incredibly disappointing that Star Fox has just skipped the switch generation, a perfect time to really test Star Fox's status without BAD data getting in the way. I want to have that Arlo Moment, I want to be massively stunned and excited for something. The only thinks that have only done that are rumors of Star Fox Assault getting a remake or remaster and that might not happen.
Hey Arlo, small critique about the sponsor placements. I honestly prefer you having them either at the very end or beginning of the video like you used to do. Because let’s be honest here, not everyone watches the sponsored sections and just skip over them. It makes it easier to have them either at the beginning or the end so we can just skip over them if we want to. But having them in the middle interrupts the flow of the video all together. We’re super happy for you getting sponsorship deals but this is just a criticism from me is all
@@rare_edamimi_fangirlit’s probably not Arlo’s fault. As I completely agree with you about sponsors WANTING their product to be seen and therefore put it in the middle. It’s just strange it’s just now becoming a thing. And if there is a chance Arlo is able to change this, I wanted to try
Ive noticed that when it comes to paid DLC, Nintendo usually announces it ahead of the games release. Breathe of the Wild, Fire Emblem, Xenoblade Chronicles, Smash Ultimate, Splatoon 2 and 3. Hell, i think even Luigu mansions 3's multiplayer DLC was announced ahead of the games release. There's some exceptions but for the most part if they dont announce it before the games release, i dont expect anything coming.
Maybe they’re waiting for switch 2 so they can release pikmin 4 deluxe with extra content. People would probably be annoyed but it seems like the kind of stunt Nintendo might pull.
Another possible scenario is they could be waiting for the next system to be officially revealed, that way they can not only announce DLC but also announce "deluxe" addition for the next console as a launch title or a launch window release, Switch owners can buy the DLC but it would come packaged with the next gen version
I understand the want for more Pikmin 4, but I think there is also something nice about knowing all of the Pikmin 4 content is on the cartridge in such a well made and finished state.
So here’s my theory: we’re not getting anything till Switch 2, where we get Pikmin 4 Deluxe. That’s where we’ll get online dandori battles, a proper challenge mode, and new game+, as well as full co-op, whether that’s local or WiFi I’m not gonna guess, but I have a shred of evidence. The Joy-Cons were treasures in the Newly Nostalgic collection. It’s kinda weird to be nostalgic for their current system, isn’t it? But if the switch 2 gets Pikmin 4 Deluxe, then it would make more sense. It’s newly nostalgic because the switch is finally in the past.
On the subject of Star Allies, while I don't think anything has been confirmed I always felt like 90% of the post launch content was meant to be in the base game. It's no secret that the games felt kind of shallow when it came out and I believe that was for two reasons: First getting the friend AI to work properly and figuring out how to design the game so that none of them ran into any problems and second because they didn't want to miss the 25th anniversary. They were almost a year late with the actual release itself and all the content wasn't added until late 2018. They decided to release the game early to still be part of the celebration and settled on adding the other stuff later. Heroes in Another Dimension was specifically made in response to criticism yes, but the Dream Friends were most likely meant to be there from the start, given the rest of the games legacy celebrating nature. Forgotten Land was a complete game at launch so HAL probably didn't see a reason to give it DLC.
Consumers shouldn't hope for developers to withhold content until after you've made a purchase, I don't care how common season passes and such have become, the best case scenario is if development started post launch.
I'd love to see some snow levels DLC, Released around mid Nov. Make the red or rock Pikmin heat absorbent when walking across fire, and give them some sort of ice/snow melting ability.
This is a crazy thought, but what if it's different people saying those different things? No, what am I saying, a large fandom having diverse opinions is _way_ less likely than a hypocritical hivemind...
I’d actually be happy with just getting a bunch more Dandori challenges. I was honestly expecting for there to be more of them in the base game, and I feel like those wouldn’t be that crazy to make a bunch of.

Hey Arlo, small critique about the sponsor placements. I honestly prefer you having them either at the very end or beginning of the video like you used to do. Because let’s be honest here, not everyone watches the sponsored sections and just skip over them. It makes it easier to have them either at the beginning or the end so we can just skip over them if we want to. But having them in the middle interrupts the flow of the video all together. We’re super happy for you getting sponsorship deals but this is just a criticism from me is all
I feel like the sponsors probably pay a bit more to have it in the middle than the start and especially end
@@rare_edamimi_fangirlit’s probably not Arlo’s fault. As I completely agree with you about sponsors WANTING their product to be seen and therefore put it in the middle. It’s just strange it’s just now becoming a thing. And if there is a chance Arlo is able to change this, I wanted to try
If Arlo makes something so that people to don't watch the sponsors, he would lose them. And believe me, views are not enough for a living.
Just get sponsorblock, easy solution
@reilynn7891 More people than you would expect are not technical enough to do that. Or are too lazy
Honestly just an update that allows overworld enemies to respawn... Why hasn't even THAT been done.
I demand my Bingo Battles to come back! And make monsters respawn!!!
They’re waiting for your big review first, silly!
They spent 10 years on this game, all the dlc that COULDVE been in this game is already in it imo
Ive noticed that when it comes to paid DLC, Nintendo usually announces it ahead of the games release. Breathe of the Wild, Fire Emblem, Xenoblade Chronicles, Smash Ultimate, Splatoon 2 and 3. Hell, i think even Luigu mansions 3's multiplayer DLC was announced ahead of the games release. There's some exceptions but for the most part if they dont announce it before the games release, i dont expect anything coming.
I actually didn't know Miyamoto had hoped that Pikmin would become bigger than Mario, that's news to me wow
Fox McCloud: Does me or my team mean NOTHING to you anymore?! Why not us, Nintendo? Where is our comeback?
I love how even Miyamoto sees the potential that Mario can be surpassed.
I too have a couple flying flatterchucks that need answering.
I would kill for a Pikmin 3 styled mini story using the bootleg Alph, Brittany, and Charlie that you rescue
Yay new arlo pikyappin
Pikmin is getting better treatment than Star Fox at this point ;_;
Maybe they’re waiting for switch 2 so they can release pikmin 4 deluxe with extra content. People would probably be annoyed but it seems like the kind of stunt Nintendo might pull.
Another possible scenario is they could be waiting for the next system to be officially revealed, that way they can not only announce DLC but also announce "deluxe" addition for the next console as a launch title or a launch window release, Switch owners can buy the DLC but it would come packaged with the next gen version
I checked my phone at the end of the video because I have the SAME TEXT TONE!! I love you Arlo
I feel like pikmin 4 doesn't need DLC because it was released as a complete game
There isn't going to be one. There never was 😢
Only 1 arlo in the raycon ad? Parallel universes have collapsed.
I just picked up this game for $35 from target. I’ve never actually dove deep into a pikman game before so I’m excited to check it out.
“The first title staring Zelda herself!” I guess Arlo has forgotten Zelda: the Wand of Gamelon lol.
My uncle works for Nintendo and he told me that they will not release it until Arlo reviews the main game.
I understand the want for more Pikmin 4, but I think there is also something nice about knowing all of the Pikmin 4 content is on the cartridge in such a well made and finished state.
Butternut Squash? Yes Please!
Dont worry, Arlo. It's basically almost done!
"oh my copium is ready!" 😭😭 had me snorting bro lololol
The real DLC were the Men we Picked along the way
So here’s my theory: we’re not getting anything till Switch 2, where we get Pikmin 4 Deluxe. That’s where we’ll get online dandori battles, a proper challenge mode, and new game+, as well as full co-op, whether that’s local or WiFi I’m not gonna guess, but I have a shred of evidence. The Joy-Cons were treasures in the Newly Nostalgic collection. It’s kinda weird to be nostalgic for their current system, isn’t it? But if the switch 2 gets Pikmin 4 Deluxe, then it would make more sense. It’s newly nostalgic because the switch is finally in the past.
What do you mean, Arlo? Pikmin 4 is chock full of Dandori Loving Creatures!
Did anyone else think he was about to drop a massive F-bomb at 1:34
Honestly this is probably one of my favourite Arlo videos ever. That LEGO analogy was great and that copium joke at the end was honestly hilarious!
it had just occurred to me that pikmin 4 turns a year old in a week, yipee
Face it Arlo, it’s time to play Pikmin mods! I mod Pikmin 3. *a lot*
The fact that we still never got two player story with Oatchi hurts my soul.
On the subject of Star Allies, while I don't think anything has been confirmed I always felt like 90% of the post launch content was meant to be in the base game.
It's no secret that the games felt kind of shallow when it came out and I believe that was for two reasons: First getting the friend AI to work properly and figuring out how to design the game so that none of them ran into any problems and second because they didn't want to miss the 25th anniversary. They were almost a year late with the actual release itself and all the content wasn't added until late 2018. They decided to release the game early to still be part of the celebration and settled on adding the other stuff later.
Heroes in Another Dimension was specifically made in response to criticism yes, but the Dream Friends were most likely meant to be there from the start, given the rest of the games legacy celebrating nature.
Forgotten Land was a complete game at launch so HAL probably didn't see a reason to give it DLC.
I don't understand it, but at 6:32 there is a long piece of writing. I set the playback speed to .25 and it was a really interesting read haha
maybe they are trying to return to a philosophy of releasing "complete" games instead of relying on dlc to fill in the content.
Consumers shouldn't hope for developers to withhold content until after you've made a purchase, I don't care how common season passes and such have become, the best case scenario is if development started post launch.
I'd love to see some snow levels DLC,
Released around mid Nov.
Make the red or rock Pikmin heat absorbent when walking across fire, and give them some sort of ice/snow melting ability.
love nintendo fans rapidly jumping between ‘I hate dlc! They’re clearly selling the game unfinished!’ and ‘where’s the dlc for this game!’
This is a crazy thought, but what if it's different people saying those different things? No, what am I saying, a large fandom having diverse opinions is _way_ less likely than a hypocritical hivemind...
@@totokekedile lmao
Pikmin 5 might be like TOTK. It was planned as DLC for the previous game but became its own game.
I JUST GOT INTO PIKMIN 4 AGAIN AND THEN THIS POPS UP!
We already got a DLC, they added a loading bar! It alone added 5 hours of content, for free too!
holy crap pikmin 4 is ALMOST A YEAR OLD!?
I’d actually be happy with just getting a bunch more Dandori challenges. I was honestly expecting for there to be more of them in the base game, and I feel like those wouldn’t be that crazy to make a bunch of.
I just really hope for Pikmin 5 on Switch 2.
With all 4 games playable on Switch i don't really need more now.
