Not enough bing bing wahoos
Tendies don't like it
RTS is an already unpopular genre and consoles are an unpopular platform for said genre
Miyamoto is the only person at Nintendo who cares about Pikmin.
Is a side project for Miami moto. The most autistic of the ninty devs.
The fact it even got a third game is a miracle in itself. It has long worn out it's 'gimmick' that 4 is just going to be an easier 3.
What does that even mean? Each game stands alone and has added things to the formula. Frick outta here. It's not like there's even any other games like this series
Nintendo don't have the staff to dedicate to game development, it's why their IP falls to the wayside, look what happened with Metroid, they got a studio willing to work on the games, they've reeeeeleased 2 already.
Shut your wiener hold.
Because Miyamoto is LITERALLY the only person who gives a shit about this series.
Also the team developed the Mario Maker games in the meantime.
I love the series, it has real potential, but honestly maybe it’s best if it stays where it’s at, the lore is amazing, and I think normies would feel awkward knowing that the game seemingly takes place on a post-man modern earth. Anyway, we need more Pikmin, like how Game 1 had so many, including the parasites, and we need more colors and a new base color, I for one think a Brown Pikmin that’s speciality is digging and fighting burrowed enemies would fit nicely with the Red-Blue-Yellow combo, but again some more super odd ball ones like White (the best) and Purple (Hercules) would be nice too.
>the logo gets more soulless
>a new gimmick to remove the already perfect system they had going
How will they frick this up?
Miyamoto said Pikmin 3 was "almost done" for like 7 out of those 9 years.
And he's been saying that Pikmin 4 is "almost done" for like 7 out of those 10 years as well.
Because Miyamoto is the lead creator behind hit but he's been far busier with other shit that isn't video games for the past 20 years.
Progress is slow when he has to jump between Amusement park construction and animated movie production.
Wait, there's a 4?
Yes it was announced in the last Nintendo Direct with a vague 2023 release.
Pikmin 2 was already the peak and I think they explored everything that they could with this gameplay formula. 3 is just a lesser 1 with better visuals
First Pikmin Best Pikmin
Second Pikmin Best Pikmin
Third Pikmin worst Pikmin
Fourth Pikmin ??? Pikmin
I would much sooner call Hey Pikmin worst Pikmin, not 3.
I just hope we get caves back in 4
Me too anon, me too
3 was so easy and short it was insulting, felt like they were trying to get the casual tendie morons to get in on the action but we all know they will never play pikmin
Literally nobody even within the pikmin Fandom wants caves
Please don’t be a dumpster fire
Please give us pikmin 2 but better
Please give us the piklopedia again
I played since 1 religiously growing up
I want caves back
The fandom can suck my sweaty ball sack
You're responding to 2 people who clearly do so you were proven wrong before you even posted
That's gotta be some kind of record
It feels like Pikmin 3 and Smash 4 came out just a couple years ago...
No wonder every other well adjusted person my age (25) is married or has kids. I still feel like an overwhelmed and disoriented teen.
Anyone who has kids at 25 is going to be more miserable than you are, just give it 10 years or so
Also, literally every non-insane adult under the age of 40 feels like an overwhelmed and disoriented teen
at least you have a job, even if a wagie slave one, unlike me, right?
ignore those people, everyone goes poop and pee just remember we're just walking machines who get addicted to all sorts of stuff. I haven't had sex in like a year but I don't really care. I'm 30 and live alone and I get to indulge in my hobbies all day because I don't have a Black person woman yelling over my shoulder
This is every Nintendo IP now that isn't fire emblem, we have to wait the better part of a decade for anything that isn't shovelware. The short dev cycle thing tendies spread was complete lie except for Pokemon and we see what happens with that
Because you're a moron who has no idea how development teams work
I know more than you and the average zoomie tendie shill
You clearly don't since you seethe over fire emblem getting constant releases while not understanding why that happens.
frick off zoomie
Because nobody askes for this series, other than a loud minority.
The only thing that makes this game get sequels is because of Miyamoto being literally autistic about it and treating the series as his pet project. Its already proven by the fact that Pikmin is literally the only Nintendo IP to get cameos in Super Nintendo Parks in Universal Parks since its helmed by Miyamoto himself.
And its not forget that it has a fricking Mobile game for some reason. In which nobody gives a frick about since its more of a barebones health app with a gimmick, than anything remotely interesting.
I tried it in an attempt to get myself more active, but lost interest once the flowers vanished after a week and there was absolutely no content to look forward to. Pokemon Go was better for it overall, but it's annoying when I live far from downtown and run out of balls quickly with few pokestops nearby.
I just need to have more self discipline instead of relying on games to motivate me I guess.
>wait a decade
>beat it in an afternoon
you know this is going to happen
First time?
>Fusion 2002
>Dread 2021
>Prime 3 2007
>Prime 4 Death
Does Prime not count as Metroid?
It does, it's just the 3D series
Prime 3 was 2007
Prime 4 is not coming out
Does anybody remember that weird interview in 2015 when Miyamoto said Pikmin 4 was almost done? The frick was that shit about
He might've been referring it being on WiiU before being put on hold when WiiU was cancelled, leaving any WiiU related projects on hold or cancelled. Then it probably ended up being completely reworked when Switch was into few years of its lifespan.
Yeah that's what I figured too, it's just weird Miyamoto would say something like that when he'd usually be one of the few people to know "Yeah Wiiu is dead scrap any project and work on Switch" early on
why has nobody made a totally-not-pikmin game yet? We have all sorts of metroid, pokemon, and mario ripoffs. I'd think pikmin would warrant at least one autistic fan game.
pikmin is too precious to try to clone or mess with I think at least is the general consensus, too cute of a game so instead of messing with it we just leave it alone
tinykin just came out
they actually take time and effort to make pikmin
Pikmin 3 took 1.5 years to make. There is no way in hell that short ass game was being worked on for 9 years straight. For frick's sake the E3 2012 reveal had only fricking concept art and alpha footage to show. And even then it got delayed AGAIN from it's initial launch window.
We never needed a sequel
it takes time to polish good game, some companies could learn from pikmin development

how the frick did i quote concordia lem
