Humongous thanks to anyone who's watched this beast! I'm so glad everyone gets to enjoy this game on Switch now! And quick note, I am now aware that the nose on a red Pikmin is a spike and that's why they deal more damage, and also that you can make the Bulblax eat bomb rocks without sacrificing Pikmin. Please comment something else lol

@DrTimes99 Год назад

I don't recall where but yes. It's said that the Reds' noses are used for stabbing and increase their attack. Yellows' ears help them glide, allowing for higher throws and Blues don't have mouths. Those are gills allowing for them to breath in the water.

@KopperNeoman Год назад

It makes sense. Yellow Pikmin, Blue Pikmin, and Hocotatians all use blunt natural weapons, but Reds have stabby nose.

@IslanderDran Год назад

I always thought it was just a small nod to the “See/Hear/Speak No Evil” monkeys. I mean, none of them share those three features with each other, the only commonality is the eyes (I do acknowledge that the nose is not part of that exact saying). Though they all make noise, somehow, despite only blue having an obvious orifice for it… But why the game developers would include that specific philosophical reference, I haven’t the foggiest… lol

@eldritchangel4058 Год назад

And yellow pikmin use their ears to glide higher. I'd imagine that in Pikmin 4, the Yellow pikmin will be able to glide down too.

@AkariJP Год назад

@@zachvalzach2434 Its not headcanon. It is canon. There are logs that state the nose is what gives them extra edge in battle. The mouths on blue is not technically a mouth but gills and the yellows have earst that help them go higher while also just generally being lighter than the other two

@nickk3077 Год назад

After watching this review, it makes me develop an appreciation for the Wii version of this game that addressed many of these issues such as bomb rocks being an interference and the 100 Pikmin message! I had no idea the original Pikmin was this rough.

@OneOptionChoices Год назад

I know this video is a little bit old to be commenting on it, but I just wanted to point out that the Yellow Pikmin sacrifice to the final boss is not the best way to stun him, as that stun animation does not last long at all (as you described). If you toss a bomb pikmin at him when he is awake and walking about, the yellow pikmin will toss the bomb at his face then run back to your party. If you manage to time it out right so that the bomb is tossed into his open mouth during his attack animation, his tongue will slap himself and he will be stunned long enough to get him down to half health if not lower.

@Bawk_Bawk Год назад

I know this comment is a little bit old to be replying to, but I just wanted to point out that the better stun can also be achieved by making him eat a bomb rock that isn't being held by a pikmin. This is somewhat easily accomplished by setting them up early like he mentioned, then simply whistling them when the bulblax is about to eat them. This method was actually also shown in the video, though he didn't verbally mention it, and the clip was fairly brief so it's fair to have missed it.

I know this comment and the replies to it are a little bit old to be teaching the difference in proper etiquette on RU-vid and on a forum, but it’s frowned upon in forums because a comment in an old thread moves the entire old thread to the top of the forum where everyone opens it thinking it’s new or to chastise the asshat who made the comment and they have to read through a bunch of old, possibly outdated, and common knowledge to everyone but you content and it’s fine to do this on RU-vid because the fact that you moved back in with your ex 6 months ago and she doesn’t allow devices to be used when she is home so you have no idea where the rest of the world is or how things are going in the world so you were continually asking and finally able to convince your parents to let you move back in with them after “The incident” that involved human feces being used for “art” on their living room walls and you’ve rejoined to world and come here to comment on old shit and expect us to have empathy for your situation and none of these things you’ve done to ruin any chance at starting adulthood on a good note including the self loathing replies to “old” content cause the rest of the world to be punished for your mistakes like the forums do.

Just really want to say a huge thanks Arlo for making another one of these big reviews, I suffer quite badly from Anxiety and night terrors and your voice really helps me to relax and sleep at night, however I have listened to your BOTW review more times than I care to count now (on and off anyway) and I really appreciate having another long video to put on. If you ever get time to make another one, I would love to hear your extended thoughts on paper Mario the thousand year door!

Pellet posies go even further by drawing your eyes up to the target like pellet, and being right in line with the natural arc of your throw, you learned that you can throw Pikmin up onto things to attack them. It also teaches about critical weaknesses, because if you throw up onto the pellet, your Pikmin will immediately defeat the flower, whereas charging into the stem they have to attack a few times. It really is a microcosm of great game design in a single element.

I have never played Pikmin before - always wanted to but I guess the timing was never right to start a new series - but hearing Arlo gush about it with so much love and passion… It makes me sad I will never be able to experience this intensity for it myself 😄 One of the things I adore most on life is listening to passionate people, which is why I adore your Big Fat Reviews. I am very excited to see more in the future!

This was more than enjoyable to listen too/watch, please make more big fat reviews on games you're passionate about. I'm the kind of guy who LOVES analyzing things from every angle, and you are one of if not my most favorite "review/discussion" channel. It was a joy to hear you gush about every single minute detail. And because of you, maybe I'll give the Pikmin games a shot. I've really enjoyed 4's demo so far. Stay awesome and never change, Arlo. EDIT: Yesterday (mid January, 2024) I finally took the plunge and bought Pikmin 1 and 2, and I'm really enjoying I so far!! This series is criminally underrated for how poorly it's sold over the years. If you haven't played it, TRY IT NOW.

@flickering_wick Год назад

Pikmin (especially 3) taught me how to be a more effective manager in my real life job and also as a dad of 8 kids. Coordinating different captains to different goals and then assigning different Pikmin to separate activities within those goals... it really helped me wrap my head around multitasking & delegating responsibilities for maximum efficiency. Sometimes games are just fun, but here, it actually benefited my life.

@LokeSandwall Год назад

Okay so I haven’t finished watching yet, but I am at the 3:13:18 mark and Arlo has yet talk about this, but I have to say, the throwing mechanics in Pikmin 1 has to be my favourite. He mentioned that throwing can be slow, and yes it is, if you do it by just pressing A. By moving the Pikmin close to you with the C-stick you’re pretty much able to throw as fast as you’re able to push the A-button which is immensely satisfying!

@DoctorMario606 Год назад

Yeah, once i learned this it made throwing in succession waaay easier

I loved this video. I especially loved the personal and nostalgic love for the series you have approach rather than a 'pro-Pikmin approach'. I love putting on long podcasts and stuff as I do things like folding laundry or doing dishes, and I used this video throughout the week in 30-minute chapters here and there.

@weegee8382 Год назад

Loved the video Arlo and looking forward to a similar review for Pikmin 2! I hope it includes a lot of comparisons to Pikmin 1 in how some elements were improved, expanded, changed, or (maybe) weakened. Also, I have my own explanation for why some of the seemingly-useless ship parts are probably mandatory; they likely aid in sealing the ship against the cold vacuum of space. For instance, you can see the Sagittarius and Libra plug tiny holes in the ship's body, the Interstellar Radio and Guard Satellite plug into the side of the ship on take off, and the Anti-Dioxin Filter and Bowsprit give your ship a major hole-patching makeover upon their addition. Oh, and the Repair-Type Bolt is needed to fix the Automatic Gear that Olimar mentions is cracked and that he repaired it with dirt.

Projects? It's just a review? Thing is of all ironies, is it that even really? He doesn't even issue a score. Is it an 8/10? 6/10? I mean don't get me wrong, I appreciate his efforts but this sort of oceanic voyage to nowhere 'style' of reviewing is not my cuppa, sorry.

@ediblenebulas1164 Год назад

@netweed09 He's stated previously that he doesn't like giving scores because it can be taken the wrong way. Some people see a 6/10 as decent, others may see it as insulting, but either way it usually misses the point of a review. There's no complexity in a 10/10 - it doesn't tell you anything specific about the game, it just says that the reviewer loves it

@netweed09 Год назад

@@ediblenebulas1164 Mm, Okay. That last line is really all I needed really but I guess I just grew up with the 'Traditional' style of reviewing and that's what is ingrained into me.

2:44:43 i think the wolliwog rant helped me realize that the “missing secondary feature” for blue pikmin should be like. a hardened carapace or some way to describe an inability to be crushed. if blue pikmin had this ability, they’d be like how red pikmin are for firey blowhogs

@zachvalzach2434 Год назад

Maybe only while blue pikmin are in water for balancing purposes, but I like the pitch. They did this with rock pikmin in Pikmin 3 and it's a definitely really strong ability given rocks are viewed as the MVPs of that game.

@Hocotate589 Год назад

Thank you so much for making this. I have never seen a more passionate review and makes me feel happy that someone is as excited about this series as I have been since I was 4. I've told this story on other videos before but I'll share here too I suppose... my dad had just gotten me a GameCube and I was excited to try it out. My granny rented it for me from BlockBuster (place we went to every weekend for a movie and a Pizza) and I popped it in my square friend and began my PIKMIN journey. PIKMIN means so much not only for the characters world story and gameplay but at the time I was dealing with a lot and it genuinely got me through it. My granny now sadly takes heavy meds and lives with my dad and we had to sell her old house...but the memories live on in my mind and well on my GameCube as well as the sequels. As long winded as that was sincerely thank you Arlo...looking forward to my favorite installment PIKMIN 2. :D
