Reviews look mostly positive. I’m super excited for this to release!
After my big disappointment with Tears of the Kingdom, I really hope Pikmin 4 to be the best in its series.
I might be the only one not excited by the removal of the time limits, all sounds like they made an already easy series even easier
The only pikmin game i’ve played was pikmin adventures which alone was amazing so I can’t wait for the release of pikmin 4!
The Gamespot review is truly a Dandori Issue
Here we go boys
Been playing it for a few hours and it’s a blast. Great year for first party games. 🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️. Can’t wait for a 60fps mod
Nintendo has been releasing banger after banger this year and we still have 5 months left.
i’m a little butt hurt they took out coop and time limit. i’m just curious on the difficulty and game length at this point.
Who’s the fucking idiot at Gamespot?
Does anyone know if they have the battle enemies and collect treasure missions in this game like in pikmin 3? I loved those missions. I also found they were a good contrast from the main campaign in that they give a challenging time limit and difficulty, compare to the more chill adventure of the main campaign.
The demo was a great time, I’m super excited to play the rest of the game!
It will be a banger. I love Pikmin
One of the things I really appreciated about the first area in the demo is how much freedom you had to go exploring out of the gate. I’ve been playing Pikmin 3 in anticipation of this releasing and that game has a very clearly defined set path you need to follow out in each new area before you can really start exploring. There was an optimal sequence to access early unlocks in the demo as well but it felt far less constrictive than a lot of Pikmin 3 does, and you also unlocked more Pikmin much earlier (reds, yellows, blues and ice all accessible by the end of that first area). Hope the rest of the game takes a similar approach, I’m very much looking forward to it. Dandori Battle looks to be fun as well, though I’m a little concerned the tactical element of Bingo Battle (cutting off opponent’s lines, etc.) has been diluted even if it eliminates the risk of stalemate.
This is the kind of game I play with my partner, so no basic co-op is a dealbreaker for me 🙁
do you only control one character in this game? or multiple like in 3?
Game looks and run amazing in 4K 60 FPS with improved shadows and draw distance on my PC. (thanks the demo for already modded)
Wait … wrong sub…
