      I've asked almost every gamer youtuber I watch who plays Nintendo games if they played pikmin, and almost none of them said yes, I even try recommending them to play them but they refused... this is why pikmin hasn't received 4 true games or hasn't even reached 10 million sales, I wish to make a 4th game myself with my ideas but what's the point?

    • @scooterkid37
      @scooterkid37 3 года назад +43

      I never played the Wii U version, but the controls on Switch are okay enough. There’s occasionally times when I can’t get the cursor right, and the gyro isn’t enough to compensate (usually when I’m traveling from point A to point B), but it works at the times when it matters most. It’s not unlike how Splatoon’s aiming works: control stick for large movements, and gyro for fine-tuning. Although the game ALSO has a lock-on targeting system for enemies, flowers, and treasures, which kind of defeats the point of gyro controls.

    We will be fine. Nintendo has been heavily marketing the game with a demo and all that. Yeah they tried to take the game down from the Wii U shop, but they brought it back (I think that sparked the extreme marketing from Nintendo). Hell, they even featured it in the treehouse live alongside age of calamity. I think them pairing an enhanced Wii U port with a prequel to one of the best games of all time shows how much they want the game to succeed. People are saying the sales are low, but that is only counting physical sales, and considering we are in a pandemic right now, most game sales are gonna be low anyway. We haven’t even reached the holidays yet, so sales are going to much better when it roll around. I have faith in my little pikpik carrots, we all just have to stay positive.

    Out of all the series that have spawned from the mind of Shigeru Miyamoto, I feel like the Pikmin franchise is his passion project moreso than any other. This makes it sad how undersold and underrated it is, but also glad how much love has been put into it.
    Pikmin 3 did to Pikmin what I feel Odyssey did to Mario. It took every mechanic in Pikmin that felt tedious, clumsy, or just plain broken, and completely optimized it. It's to the point that the only way Pikmin 3 can be difficult is to actually create complex puzzle-platforming, difficult bosses, and countless oppurtunities for strategy and multi-tasking. When I go back to the older Pikmin games, especially the first Pikmin game for the Gamecube, it feels as though Pikmin are unresponsive and I spend most of my time doing stuff that's boring (getting each type out of their individual onion, plucking, and staring blankly as it takes 2 minutes for my 70 pikmin to tear down a wall). It's kinda like when you go back to Mario 64 after playing Odyssey and you're like "what? He didn't triple jump. He didn't wall jump. Why did I get sent back to the Hub world?"
    The world building is extraordinary too. There's not much lore as far as it goes with the Hocatates and the Koppaiites, but when it comes to the creatures in Pikmin, it's a whole other story. I bet this would be the favorite game of any biologist who gave it a go.

    Dimitri, the Blue one. A noble knight truly but is the wish for justice and honor the only thing about him? He has another maybe darker side, we have yet to discover.
    Claude, the yellow(golden) one. When Claude does things, then he does it with sparking joy. He may seem lighthearted and funny on the first glance, but when he laughs his smile quite doesn't reach his eyes..
    Chose wisely.

      -lots of new replayable content and advancing the difficulty of the 3rd game, because a common complaint about pikmin.3 is that it is incredibly easy
      -another complaint beijg the piklopedia has been added in which is spectacular fan service

    I want the next pikmin game to have a character as developed as Olimar in the first game. To me, he's nintendo's most human character, and while we get fleeting glimpses of that character in the piklopedia and his data files, nothing really measures up to his daily log. In Pikmin, Olimar will beat himself up is he kills a pikmin with a bomb, repeating the instructions over and over, saying their melting faces are burned into his memory. When there's an extinction, he calls himself a failure as a captain and leader, saying he shan't sleep. Over the course of the game he develops a love with the pikmin that he never gets to express, as seen in his side of Ai no Uta. No later captain has lived up to his depth and i wish that one would.

For the possibility of pikmin 4, for Steve the red pikmin, for pikmin hut, and most importantly for the sanity of r/pikmin. If you are already a fan who has p3d share the game. If your a fan who doesn't have p3d yet buy it and share it's existence. And if your not an already fan but plan on buying p3d, we're happy to welcome you to our cute, and happy family.
