Hi, person interested in getting Pikmin 4, is the game as bland as it looks? The environment looks boring and doesn't seem to have anything new, is that true or ?
This series has suddenly become one of my favorites! I'm glad Nintendo chose to release all the games on Switch (Hey Pikmin doesn't count 👀). Just 2 more days!
6 full areas, 110 enemies, 23 caves, main story plus side story, and all 8 pikmin type onions to collect. Hell yea its worth buying. And no the reviewers are misleading with saying pikmin 4 is easy, its harder than pikmin 3 and a bit like pikmin 2, some enemies will delete your whole pikmin army.
Btw can you still collect and maybe juice fruits like in pikmin 3? I quite liked the satisfaction of that. If it's not there is there something similarly satisfying?
@@chuck176 yes it is a great entry point for newcomers, it's a bit heavy on the dialogue and tutorials but try the demo as progress transfers to the full game. After that section the pacing picks up nicely.
Overlord and Pikmin always have a particular hold on me. There's something about having armies of little minions to follow you around. It's a shame there aren't more titles outside of these, Tinykin & My Life As King.
Man, Pikmin 2 multiplayer was so much fun. After a decade of developing the game, I'm really disappointed they didn't invest in a better multiplayer mode.
I’m assuming it’s because Pikman as a series isn’t a big money maker. It’s kind of like Metroid where it feels really popular because everyone has heard of it but if you look at sales for the series they’re way lower than expected
Incredible the kind of performance they manage to keep getting out of the Switch given its technical specifications - real wizards working for Nintendo 🥰
Still would prefer more power. On a 4K tv this game looks terrible. It is impressive that a system the same power as a Xbox 360 can do this, but at the same time why is Nintendo selling 2005 power hardware in 2023?!
The Pikmin 4 Rom leak is the reason why console manufacturers use to do custom hardware, rather than constructing from off-the-shelf components, like what they do now. The X360 had pretty much every game leaked before launch.
Everyone please give the demo a try! It’s a big demo and you won’t regret it. This is, in my opinion, the best pikmin yet! If it does well we should see another leap in the formula.
The Pikmin series is so incredible, but the 4th installment is gonna be my favorite because of Oatchi and the new types of Pikmin such as Ice and Glow Pikmin that only appear at night during night expeditions!
@@CupidDunkThey’re special though, they aren’t like the rest. They’re like the bulbmin and puffmin, where they’re so different they almost aren’t considered Pikmin.
No time limit, no running out of supplies, rewind and no selectable difficulty. It's such an unfortunate development that those more niche franchises gradually abandon their mechanics and challenges to make them more appealing to the broader audience. That way the series may continue but it effectively kills my interest. But what else is there to expect when the sales go up and the magazines don't really see include this as a negative in their scores..
@@jadarina5035 Interesting! Is Olimers journey post-credits? People have speculated that this means there's a remake of Pikmin in pikmin 4 but that seems very unlikely
Sad but not surprised there’s no online dandori battles. Woulda been cool to have matchmaking or even something crazy like ranked mode for it. Still, can’t wait for pik 4 :)
Thank you for very little spoilers, IGN! Outside of the difficulty, op items and 2-player co-op, this game deserves like a 9.5 or a 9.6/10 score IMO! ❤ I can't wait to get this game and do a lot!
How did you get 9999 of every Pikmin type? There’s only a finite number of monsters to convert to seeds, so once all 6 areas are cleared, all that’s left to grow Pikmin are Pellets.
Pikmin 2 did not have campaign co-op outside of PC mods, and Pikmin 3 only had it in the Switch port. It's upsetting that co-op has regressed since 3 Deluxe but don't spread misinformation lol

Tinykin is nothing like those.
Does Little Kings Story count?
at around 5:16 they revealed that every pikmin has it's own onion (I've been waiting for purple pikmin to get their own onion since pikmin 2)
That's the battle mode in the pikolopedia it's not 100% garunteed but it's likely
And white pikmin too.
Near 5:17 we see an ice pebblet and it would be useless if there wasn't an ice onion

Aside from a couple of issues, this could easily dethrone Pikmin 2 as my favorite game ever.
It definitely did for me and 2 was peak for me.
My only problems so far are, you can only have 3 Pikmin types out at once, rewind (for exsisting), and no *real* co-op story mode.

It's a great entry point
I've enjoyed every pikmin game. Looking forward to this.......whenever I'm done with Tears of the Kingdom, then FF16.
Try the demo! Literally my only complaint with the demo is how much they talk for the first chunk of the game.
@SleepyFawn didn't know there was a demo, will definitely check that out!
@MylesB93- the demo was awesome, as soon as everyone shut up, it was pure joy until it ended.
