>It's 66 minutes!
Everyone who said that the Pikmin shorts were over an hour in total is a fucking liar! I just bought the shorts, and they were less than 25 minutes in total. I am a die hard Pikmin fan, but I feel so ripped off right now. They're good, but know that your're paying $5-6 for less than an episode of The Office.
GOD DAMN YOU /v/!!!!
>>270702682
quit crying.
You're paying $5 for something that is infinitely better than The Office
You just became a victim of the shillforce
>>270702835
why can't white pikmin do that shit in pikmin 2, they're useless as fuck
Oh wow.
>>270702835
is this uploaded anywhere yet
>>270702682
I don't know how this misinformation got spread on /v/ so well, the Direct clearly stated the package of shorts was about 20 minutes long.
>>270702682
They said in the nintendo direct that it would be a total of about 20 minutes, you numbnuts.
>>270703000
And they fucking got me too...
>>270702935
how much of a drone does one have to be?
why even buy these, are you retarded? wait till someone capturecards them or something
fucking drones
>>270703168
>I don't know how this misinformation got spread on /v/ so well
Do you actually think that highly of /v/?
>>270703118
Because they are a support Pikmin in Pikmin 2 since they carry stuff the fastest.

That's what I thought too. Then I hear

>>270702835
Poison-spitting wouldn't be a bad idea to give Whites in a potential P4.
Poison-spitting and underground perception, wouldn't be bad.
>>270703271
Not in the slightest, but I figured the market for these shorts would be the same audience that would watch the livestream of the Direct.
I have been torn. Is $5 a bad price-point? DVDs are ~$20, usually. 25x4=100 minutes, about the length of your average animated film.
But then again, fuck spending $5 on a god damn Pikmin short holy jesus.
>>270703380
any way to download this?
>People bitching it costs $5.
>It probably costed Nintendo several million dollars to produce
>>270703597
I think it's less about spending money to see the shorts, since you can see them online anyways, but rather giving $5 to support the Pikmin franchise.
That said, I thought the shorts were really good, and I don't regret spending my money at all.
>>270703705
I don't think so. I plan on streaming it again tomorrow when my new ethernet cables come in.
>>270703278
shit like this is why I love Pikmin, it can get really grim while never feeling 'dark' or anything
>>270703782
ok, when you do you should upload it to mega or something, <3
>>270703597
It seems fairly priced per minute of footage, like you said. Remember that the 3 shorts come bundled for 5 dollars and reach 20 minutes together. You aren't paying 15 dollars for all three.
I'm going to buy it myself, but only because I adore the series and I really want to support it. I'd recommend checking the inevitable torrent before buying to see if it's something you'd want to support.
I can stream it again but I don't know if I should. I was getting some hiccups since I was streaming it on my shitty laptop.
>>270703775
agreed, pikmin is full of live and I'm happy to help it out
>>270703823
I might.
>Olimars smile, that Bulborb spitting out the pikmin stem.
Anyone else hate the fact that they're shoving in our faces that Pikmin takes place on Earth? I liked it better in the first game when it just felt like an alien planet.
>>270705173
Nigga it's always been on Earth.
>>270705173
Even the first one had human objects, I like the mix of phantasy and realism myself but to each his own i guess
what the fuck is the office
>>270705286
>when it just felt like an alien planet
>felt
Reading comprehension.
>>270705350
I know but as the series goes on they just cram this fact down your throat.
>>270703345
That's your own damn fault.

>>270706093
it's okay anon... it's not your fault...
why didn't you just upload it to megaupload
WHY
>>270706093
i dont want to bug but if you could upload the file somewhere it would be better
>>270706237
I'll do it later. I promise. Just poke around for a thread tomorrow.
>>270702682
I think the misconception came from the fact that they said three shorts, 20 minutes total. TOTAL, not each.
>>270706306
that fell when i'm working all day tomorrow so I probably won't catch it
I'll probably find the link on vg or in a continuation of the thread. I tried watching it earlier today when you were streaming it but it was bad then too.
Thanks though anon. You're doing the world of /v/ a favor
>>270706306
Thank you based god, the sooner we destroy these awful marketing tactics the better.
>>270706306

Goddamn these cartoons are cute as fuck.
Still not worth 5 bucks, but I kinda hope Nintendo gets into animation. I could see Nintendo going the Disney rout and becoming a multimedia powerhouse.
Honestly, those shorts look so good that I'm actually pretty eager to buy them soon.
>>270707409
go to bed OP
>>270707476
Yeah... no they're not worth five dollars, maybe ten cents, can't even watch them on your PC.
purple pikmin are the fucking best
>>270707457
I'll be happy if they get into animation if it's actually free to watch like it should be.
>>270707218
>poor OP
>an idiot whines about losing five bucks because he listened to a 4chan board instead of the official source
Why are you not laughing at him?

LOL

>>270707201
>>270704239
>>270703949
Holy shit, these are prettycute
>>270707753
Because bad business practices are pretty much the cancer of the industry right now, I'll admit he is pretty stupid to have misinterpereted it but it doesnt' change the fact nintendo is also at fault.
>>270707590
I think a more reasonable price would be around 2-3 bux for them, which I'm sure they'll go on sale for at some point, but I want to support the franchise, and they all look beautifully done, so I'm fine with $5.
>ten cents
Nigga you think animation just spring up out the ground?
>>270707909
Nintendo is a fault for someone listening to /v/'s misinformation instead of the Direct?
I want a pikmin farm
>>270708010
Considering these are pretty much trailers for pikmin 3 they could have definitely lowered the price since those who buy these will likely have also bought pikmin 3 or will be.
>>270707632
I need a webm of just yellow giving a thumbs up and winking
If it means we get more Nintendo animation in general, I don't mind spending 5 dollars on Pikmin shorts.
But that's just me.
>>270707909
>it doesnt' change the fact nintendo is also at fault.
They were pretty clear about it, there was no misinformation or false advertising from them. OP is an idiot and so are you.
>>270708175
>tickets to the harry potter movies should be cheaper because I bought the books already
ayy lmao
>>270708175
they have nothing to do with Pikmin 3. It doesn't share any of the characters, the new pikmin types, the new enemy types, it just shares the HD models from it.
>>270703257
No, the office is just really fucking bad.
>>270708232
>If it means we got more trailers to spend money on I am fine with spending money on these ones
There's a bit of a flaw in your logic, if the next ones were free I could understand why you'd be alright with paying 5 dollars for this.
>>270708249
I didn't buy these so I don't see how I'm the idiot.
Its already up?
Guess ill buy it tomorrow, $5 is pushing it but im not a poor fag either
quit being a broke nigger op
>>270708410
How about I offer a suggestion, don't. Realize there's more value to the dollar than just wasting it on an overpriced short film.
>>270708406
>I don't see how I'm the idiot.
You're putting the blame for OP's mistake where it doesn't belong and being stubborn about it.
>>270708406
God forbid I enjoy fun slapstick animation based on properties I like.
This is what Pikmin would look like on the PS4a movie.
>literally paying for advertisements
It's okay when Nintendo does it r-right?
>>270708494
Nintendo's wording was unclear and clearly mislead multiple people to think the shorts were each 20 minutes. This coupled with what the shorts actually are in my book counts as bad business practice.
>>270702682
So is Nintendo trying to tap into Sony's movie market with this stunt?seriously, what did you expect? It sounds like about the right time frame for a primetime cartoon slot
>>270707201
>that one faggot who ruins your no death run
>>270708574
>Nintendo's wording was unclear
No
>>270708574
Why do you think they're called "Shorts"?
>>270708574
>Nintendo's wording was unclear
It wasn't. At all.
They said it was a bout 20 minutes in the direct you retard.
Why are yellow pikmin so best?
>>270702682
Hilarious.
If the first short had Olimar not wearing his helmet, does that mean the Pikmin followed him back to Hocotate?
>>270708629
>>270708660
>>270708678
>Tons of people spreading msinformation about it being 20 minutes each

It was unclear, the wording was not chosen very carefully and clearly caused confusion.

>>270708814
>the official source is being unclear because people lie
It's time to stop posting.
>>270708814
They outright stated it was 22 minutes total. There was nothing at all unclear about it. Furthermore, it's the consumer's responsibility to properly research something before they buy it, and its their own fault if they misinterpret basic information.
Requesting a WEBM of the firey blowhog spitting up mud under the filename "taco bell dump"
>>270707668
They're never free to watch, they come with commercials anon....
These animations probably had a pretty good budget too.

>>270708814

Yeah but was that because they actually thought that was true? Or because they just wanted to be dicks and lie to people?

>>270707562
Nah, OP here. Just came back to see this hit the first page. Didn't expect that. And I enjoyed the shorts. I would have bought them anyways, because I love Pikmin, but it sucks that every post says there is actually 3x the amount of content.
>>270709570
>but it sucks that every post says there is actually 3x the amount of content.
/v/ is known to lie
>>270708075
Nah it was my fault. I expected 20 minutes, then /v/ comes along and tells me it's an hour. I'm just pissed people would blatantly lie about a quantitative amount.
Wait, what?

Yeah, I don't know why I would believe.
i wonder if he is going to something like this like ubisoft did for the rabbids.
except be 100 times better
>>270709775
Mosaic censor is for cockroaches, illegal material, genitals, and getting wrecked.
Seeing as how that isn't a roach, illegal, or a dick nor cunt, it's safe to say that dude got wrecked.
>>270709775
I think it's supposed to be gory but censoring it in a humorous way since the pikmin literally tore him apart or ate him.

>http://www.hitbox.tv/video/308885
Much more adoreable than I was expecting. Nintendo can make shorts as well as games apparently.
>People bitching and moaning about $5
>Same people who don't own a Wii U and wouldn't buy the movies anyway
If you're going to pirate, that means you need someone to buy the fucking things so you can pirate them first. You're not going to "win" against Nintendo either way because someone, at some point, had to give them money so YOU could "stick it to the man."
The same people who will bitch in a year and ask "Where are more cute shorts? I mean, I'm not gonna PAY for them, but I deserve them!"

It's a cherry you dolts.
Ultimately, all you need to realize is that if enough of you buy this, they'll probably make a cartoon series.
The production value would be a little lower, but it would be better than any other CGI show on television at the moment.

Wi-fi used a stupid system that wouldn't work for them and the fuckton fast wired connection was denied to me whenever I tried to register MAC addresses since they always failed to stick.
>>270713442
I think the scene with the bulborb eating the pikmin, with one of them crying tears as it ran, was a little real.
and the alternative

Plus Dreamworks has always outclassed both in terms of visuals.
They could just stick with the current studio, but I guess it lacks pedigree.
>>270718707
Well I was going to say Disney-Pixar but after considering what you just said honestly I think disney could do a pretty good job
I'm also not a real big fan of anything dreamworks produces so I'm pretty biased
>>270702682
Damn this would actually make a genuinely fantastic TV series or movie.
Anyone think that Nintendo will do more of these shorts if they're received well?
I'd maybe buy a DVD, just not digital.
>>270703278
Oh wow genuinely surprised that they killed Pikmin in this. I thought they would steer away from that to keep it lighthearted
These shorts are so cute.
They fill me with a sweet sense of togetherness and community.
>the one with the Hocotate ship pod, the amazing Bulborb scene and the digger
So fucking good.
>mfw the Pikmin start crying as the Bulborb gets closer and closer

They've got potential for these things.

Very late reply so I doubt you're still around but for anyone else that wants download it, I managed with ffmpeg using the following:
