Serebii Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 New Pikmin game. Seems to be an interesting platformer, but still a platformer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedShell Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Another fantastic surprise from today's superb Nintendo Direct. Reckon I might enjoy this more than any of the previous Pikmin games! Really love how it uses both screens too. :awesome: Doesn't seem to have been as much of that on 3DS as there was on DS, but it looks great across 2 screens, and gives a nice sense of scale to everything.

Dufniall Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Looks promising! Although I also thought that when they revealed the Chibi Robo platformer and that did not work out very good. I wonder how long the game will be as well. Another fantastic surprise from today's superb Nintendo Direct. Really love how it uses both screens too. :awesome: Doesn't seem to have been as much of that on 3DS as there was on DS, but it looks great across 2 screens, and gives a nice sense of scale to everything. THIS! So bad they don't do double screen areas often anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dcubed Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 So it's basically Kirby Mass Attack 2? I'm ok with this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzybee Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 This looks amazing, but I really really hope this isn't Pikmin 4 Miaomoto mentioned. I want Pikmin 4 NX with online bingo battle.... Don't kill the dream just yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcubed Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 This looks amazing, but I really really hope this isn't Pikmin 4 Miaomoto mentioned. I want Pikmin 4 NX with online bingo battle.... Don't kill the dream just yet! I don't think it is. If it were Pikmin 4, then it would have the name "Pikmin 4", none of this wishy-washy tentative name nonsense. This game has probably been in the making since before Pikmin 3 even came out. Miyamoto did mention that they'd done lots of different experiments in making a Pikmin game for both the DS and 3DS over time, but they didn't end up making them into full games because they felt that it wasn't enough like the existing games to be considered a "Pikmin" game. So the fact that they're actually going ahead with this (and the fact that it lacks a number in the name) means that they consider this a spinoff.

Falcon_BlizZACK Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 (edited) Im not so happy about this even though I love Pikmin. Pikmin is this special title that has always been about quality over quantity with me - Im worried about an over-saturation of something so special to me and the fact that if I was to play this before Pikmin 4 it would numb that anticipation and long-await I've had for it. Pretty much how I felt with Smash appearing on 3DS before the Wii U. Edited September 2, 2016 by King_V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 I'm not sure you can consider four games in sixteen years 'oversaturation'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon_BlizZACK Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 I'm not sure you can consider four games in sixteen years 'oversaturation'. Im not saying it is, Im saying Im worried that these ports can have me feeling that way about the series. The potential of getting two Pikmin games in 2017 for example, is something that can lead to that feeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The potential of getting two Pikmin games in 2017 for example, is something that can lead to that feeling. I get what you're saying and I can certainly relate when it comes to Smash Bros. Having 2 versions so close together meant they felt less special to me. Then again, the fact that they kept giving out Smash news every week in the build up to the past 2 games kinda already killed my passion for those games and series as a whole.

Fused King Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Today I have come face to face with real change. I used to know about pretty much all major game announcements, especially that of Nintendo, but I freaked out when I saw a trailer for this game in the EB Games in Melbourne. I had no recollection whatsoever of this being announced! I knew a Pikmin 4 was in development, but had NO IDEA the this game had already been revealed in a Direct. A DIRECT! For Christ's sake how could I have missed that!? And it is one of my favourite series too!!!!?!?! I can't keep up anymore lads, I'm slipping.

Blade Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 I've just watched the reveal trailer again. It does look really good. Its different from a normal platformer in the sense it seems a constant stream of puzzles. I'm looking forward to hearing more about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naar Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Looks fun, and nice graphics. Never played a Pikmin game before. It has my interest, but i would rather play a game like the first 3 tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markderoos Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Word was some retailers shortly listed a game called "Pikmin World" for Switch with a vague TBD - 2017. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Mario, Mario Kart, Zelda, Splatoon and Arms one year. Fire Emblem, Pikmin, Luigi's Mansion, Animal Crossing and Metroid next??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V. Amoleo Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 (edited) A few previews of this: Eurogamer Kotaku Nintendo Life Will our guys get to try this out before release? The Eurogamer preview mentioning that the controls are fiddly and that the collisions seem to be off is worrying. Edited May 5, 2017 by V.

Fused King Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Maaaan, I'm a sucker for anything Pikmin. Love this franchise! I hope they go big and bold for the Switch iteration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hero-of-Time Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 A demo is now available on the eShop. I had a play through of it earlier and I really enjoyed it. The first level is just a tutorial, there's then a small level to play that involves using Red Pikmin and the final level in the demo is more meaty and requires the use of Red and Rock Pikmin. The demo left a good impression and I'll be there on launch day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ike Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 The demo helped calm my fears and it's actually pretty good. Shame it releases the same time as DQXI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
