A little bit cynical of you isn't it?
This being a bad thing depends if it's actually good or not.

>>384402721
>hey you know this franchise with a unique gameplay style?
>let's turn it into a generic 2D platformer!

every fucking time Nintendo, enough already, who the fuck keeps approving these?

>>384404930
People said the same for Metroid and yet we're getting Samus Returns and Metroid Prime 4 in the near future.

>>384405714
Dude the last Metroid games tanked so that's them trying to make up for that

>>384405474
>>384404930
It's just a way of making extra cash by capitalizing on the brand recognition and letting a shitty outsourced dev do the work. I wouldn't worry too much about how this affects the series. If they were calling this Pikmin 4, then you'd have a reason to be concerned.

>>384404930
moot point, because pikmin 4 has already been announced
plus people said the same thing about federation force, and look where we are today.

>>384404384

well, how is it?

quite literally a kirby's mass attack sequel.
whether you like Hey Pikmin or not, depends on if you liked that game or not.

>>384404930
Miyamoto has been very open about the existence of Pikmin 4. It'll probably be one of their big titles they show at E3 next year, along with an actual trailer for Metroid Prime 4.

>>384402721
what is the duck bulborb called in the piklopedia

>>384406473
they do good as long as they arent shitting out yoshis

>>384406768
In the distance, a kazoo can quietly be heard.

I kind of like it, but then, I didn't drop $40 on it. I dropped the game as soon as I found out white and purple Pikmin aren't in it.

>>384406604
Mockiwi.

>>384404930
Pikmin 4 is confirmed to be in development anon, you have nothing to worry about

I think the demo was pretty fun, it wasn't anything special but it was enjoyable to play.

Good question. I'm just wondering why they went and added their colors to the onion in this new one when they aren't anywhere to be found in the game.

nobody on earth

>>384402721
You have to be 18 to post here. >>384402873

>>384408846
Purples ruin combat and whites are the most context sensitive pikmin by far and are therefore largely useless.

>>384408243
Thanks man, I've been wondering about it ever since I saw it on the cover.

Is there a challenge mode?

>>384409280
We're talking about a puzzle/exploration-based platformer here. They could have incorporated purples' extra strength and weight or whites' immunity to poison and ability to see underground. They elected not to, for no apparent reason. Especially considering >>384408985

>>384409564
No. There are some 'secret spot' stages (half of which are locked behind amiibo) where there's a single treasure and you need to solve some sort of puzzle to get to it.

The game isn't difficult, or long. There are 16 secret spot stages, 40 standard stages, 9 bosses, IIRC.

>>384409587
I was only answering in regards to the mainline games. I think it's better they were left out of 3 and I hope they're not in 4 either.
Purple's strength and white's speed make sense in time trials but not in any other context for the mainline pikmin titles.

>>384402721
You're not allowed to be excited for anything Nintendo around here. And if it's a spin off title, you have to hate it.

I loved Hey! Pikachu back in the day. I still have the cart and the microphone controller adapter.

>>384410095
Ah, okay. Sorry. I think it was okay for purples and whites to be OP in 2 because it was more difficult to collect them than any other color, but as I understand, they made them near useless in 3. I feel like they could have reached a middle ground with them.

>>384410659
I should not have laughed that hard

I played the demo yesterday and the framerate is pure shit, I don't even know how they managed to do that.

>>384410824
Not really, strong purples carrying big items on their own and fast whites taking care of nugget piles is really useful.

>>384402721
meh

>>384405314
If it's a Pikmin game and a 2D platformer then it's automatically shit. Pikmin never was and never should be a 2D platformer.

>>384404384
You mean the demo? The full game doesn't launch for NA until the 28th. Unless you're playing the JAP version?

>>384411835
Why not? It's in English anyways.

is this pikmin thread

>>384411673
It's not a platformer, though, it's purely puzzle solving and collecting, it's just "on the go" instead of having a base.

I enjoy 2 but the purple's domination in combat detracts from the experience, and I can find little reason to justify their inclusion in that game (this is even the case with their nerf of being difficult to find).
Low skill players can coast through the game with as few deaths as possible, but the guilt from seeing a bunch of pikmin die due to your mismanagement should be something a player experiences as they improve, this leads to greater satisfaction on a minimum death run of a difficult cave. There essentially is no difficulty curve in 2's combat because of the purples, the white pikmin are fine despite their flaws because they don't actually take away from the game.

Arguably the Pikmin titles also desperately need to autosave frequently to force players to face the consequences of their play, if combat is to ever truly be satisfying in them.
Sorry if I'm being a bit heavy with the criticism but I've never had any place to express these problems properly.

>>384411975
Wait, you can choose your language? I thought the JAP cia would only have Japanese. I assume there are no differences between the JAP and NA versions. Link to cia?
>>384406597
I don't get why they would show Pikmin 4 that late, if they do show it then. Didn't Miyamoto confirm it was close to completion back in like 2015?

Yes post pikmin reaction pics because I literally only have 3

>>384412294
Nah, it just defaulted to English. Must be based on 3DS region or something. Just hit up 3DSISO.

>>384412179
You're absolutely correct, you can go anywhere with about 20 purples since you beat the second cave and almost never have to worry about enemies for the majority of the game. I should do a no purple run sometime.

>>384412924
Alright, thanks. How is the game compared to the main series?

See, the savescumming issue can be ignored with a self imposed challenge, but the purple pikmin will be a problem if you intend to do a 100% run, because there are two arbitrary moments in the entire game where they are necessary to pick up a treasure (The thousand weight treasure in the last area and the waterwraith) so you HAVE to go through caves collecting purples as you go, meaning you're forced to have them in your party even if you don't want them.

The waterwraith could have just been electrified and they could have removed bulbmin from that cave for added challenge, but the thousand weight treasure is there for no other reason than to justify the purple's inclusion. Now that I think about it, it's bloody weak game design.

>>384413463
Not comparable. Here's an early stage I liked a fair bit.

>>384413829
Oh, no, I'll train purples to get 100%, I just won't use them to fight.

Unironically yes.

I've always wanted a handheld Pikmin game in some form. This is kind of what I envisioned so I'll take it.

I liked Mass Attack, but Artoon ain't HAL.

This game only exists so the future Smash Pikmin Stage doesn't get a shitty music selection like the current ones they have.

I tried the demo, wasn't a fan.

Fuck no, why would anyone be "hyped"?

I played through the demo and found the whole thing super comfy.
Will probably pick it up to play in relaxed sessions before bedtime.

>>384418981
Oh, fuck me, that's nice. Who does the music?

>>384418981
Sounds like grant kirkhope type shit

>>384420042
I heard it's the same person who composed the OST from Yoshi's New Island

>>384418981
Honestly, if they put someone competent enough, there could be a 10/10 Hey! Pikmin Medley
