I really wish I was into Pikmin. The game looks fun and gorgeous, but I don’t have the urge to play the series since the first one on the GC.

This is where the fun begins

This feels like a higher number than most non-Major Nintendo franchises get so I’m happy

An acceptable amount of water.

Day 1 purchase for me. I’ve waited so long for this game.

Growing up I never could figure out how to beat the first game in the time limit. Replaying the first now and playing 2 and 3, Pikmin 4 is one of my most anticipated games of the year now. And it’s only a few more days~~~

Wow! Well-written review by IGN standards. The nod at the end to post-story content is interesting, I’m curious to see how much of an end-game there is. Author seems to vaguely hint that its a lot of content, which would be super cool.
Personally, 2 is still my favorite of the series so I’m very hyped about 4 for offering much of the same, and the return of caves has me so excited.

Pikmin fans eating GOOOOOOOD!!
I loved the demo of this game. Feels more chilled out like Pikmin 2 was.

I really hope this game is a little bit longer than 3. I binged it on a Saturday. And I’m hooked waiting for the next one. Good thing I just beat it last Saturday 😂
Reallysickmariopaint
Are there challenge maps in this one? That was my favorite part of 3.
LeFouHibou
Do you have to play the first 3? Or is each one a stand alone game?
Anotherthrowawayboye
Very cool! Always enjoyed 1 and 2. 3 was fun but i am more excited for 4
zestysnacks
Very excited to play this. Didn’t like 3 that much

My wife is going to be so pumped for this! 😀

I hate that it took me so long to try this series, it’s massively underrated.
If anyone is on the fence, TAKE THE JUMP, TRY IT, YOU’LL LOVE IT!
Post credit gameplay? I wonder if it’s the levels from earlier games.

I’ve never tried these games, sadly. But based on all the positive word of mouth and the fact that Miyamoto loves this series I have it pre-ordered. I cannot wait!

The hype is real. As a huge Pikmin 2 fan this game looks more like that one which excited me.

I am so pumped for this game. I love the others and I played the demo and this one seems so well polished and really adds a lot to the franchise. I’m super excited. Plus my daughter absolutely loves Pikmin and she’s pumped too.

This is the first 5/5 for Eurogamer since they introduced review votes!

You guys trust ign rating? Their scale is 7 through 10

I don’t think I’ve got a game on release for quite a while but I’m hoping to get this. Great series.
HenryReturns
I am hoping the game is as good as and engaging as 3 and have the exploration + dungeons of 2.

I drunkenly pre-ordered this game the other night. Haven’t played Pikmin since Gamecube. (Pikmin 1)

I mean, Diablo 4 was Like a 9 or 9.5 aswell so that means whatever
MulhollandMaster121
Huh. Think I’ll try this. Only ever played the 1st one back when it came out on GC and remember nothing about it except the pre-release hype drummed up in Nintendo Power and my reaction to the game being “yeah, that was alright.”

I was incredibly excited for this as a big Pikmin fan, but found out today it doesn’t have actual coop. I loved playing through 3 with my wife and even though I already bought 4 I’m honestly not sure how much I’ll play it without coop.
Dymarob
I’d be shocked if they gave it a bad score considering how much fun I had with the demo.
yetareey
I feel like this just got revealed. Crazy

Another great game from Nintendo. Gotta buy it after I beat Zelda TotK.

Wow, Nintendo is knocking it out the park with their releases this year. Feeling kinda spoiled.

I’m so HYPED I love Pikmin and the Demo predicted that Pikmin 4 will be one of the best Nintendo Switch games ever.

Currently an 88 on Metacritic, the game is stupendous from what I’ve played and can’t wait to play more. [Metacritic](https://www.metacritic.com/game/switch/pikmin-4?ref=hp)
