Pikmin 4 - Nintendo Direct 2.8.23 

Also for having a ship that doesn’t spontaneously explode

First Black Captain FTW

It looks like an escape pod to me, also, we see a crashed spaceship later in the trailer so not sure man

@@guusthomassen9945 though it comes out of warp and they mention "we found a castaway" i wonder if its a rescue ship.

@@jordanwhite352 yea ikr I was like OMGGG YEESS

That's literally the only reason I knew about Pikmin. Then I gave the Pikmin 3 demo on Wii U a try, and I've loved the series ever since.

I've had the opposite experience, among many of my friends, coworkers & cousins pikmin was a household name

In fact, the thumbnail is enough proof that the Purple and White types return!

That’s a double reference :)

I felt heavy and bloated before the game

@@pikminmaster2165 Rock and pink pikmin are also in thumbnail! Behind the dog and underneath Nintendo's logo.

@@sareli. Since caves are back maybe we'll see the bulbmin return

Yea I hope that was not just a mini game at night. The star bits stuff makes me think that.

@@BAE10 maybe starbits are important so you gotta go at night for an important mission

@dellimint Cute profile pic, what is it?

They made things more dangerous than I thought....

I SURE HOPE SO. Loved the older pikmin but damn they lacked a place to test your metal!

I never expected them to do that, simply because I thought this was Earth after Human's had died off or something. Guess our characters just never happened to land directly in a town.

@@JuniperGreen162 Same, really not sure what the lore is at this point lol

@@JuniperGreen162 I think it's still confirmed that this is a post human-extinction Earth. Though it's not the first time in the Pikmin franchise where a location showing objects in pristine condition. I think Sector 4 of Hey! Pikmin is an example. Edit: it was sector 4 not 5

What I've been wondering for a long time, are we ever going to encounter larger life forms? Why are all of Earth's life forms so tiny now? We haven't seen anything near the size of a human, let alone bigger.

Yeah! I would love to see them expand on what they did with city area from Hey! Pikmin! One of the only good things about that game

I just want pikmin 1 and 2 to be re released on switch

@@barley5102digital version is already out

Game leaked. Available now for hacked switches. I'm playing it now.

They said it wouldn't happen! I didn't stop believing! All hail the most creative game Nintendo ever made

Pikmin is Nintendo’s most underrated franchise in my opinion.

This.

@@UnclePhil1112 I wouldn't say most underrated. One of the most. Don't know your Nintendo knowledge, but Punch Out, F-Zero, StarFox, Kid Icarus all get little to no love.

@@LittleBigKid707b I cant disagree with that

@@LittleBigKid707b I honestly don't see how a Punch Out game could be released today due to Political Correctness.

Can't believe they're making us wait a whole WEEK after the 10 year anniversary. Unacceptable, smh my head /s

We thought I wouldn't happen and it did to quote Nelson Mandela "It seems impossible till it is done" I mean this has happened before miyamoto announced pikmin 3 back in 2007 so I guess we just needed to wait

same happened between 2 and 3. 2004-2013. I'm just SO happy rn

@@donwalrus2197 what about Pikmin 1 & 2? Do you own those two games either on GameCube or Wii?

@Bloobio Sigh! Nintendo can be stubborn sometimes.

Completely agree!

i’m a new pikmin fan, this will be my first game! is it important to play the other games for story purpose?

It will get released

WaterparkRanger Fr 2 is my favorite lol

@@neonmajora8454 I think personally from the looks of things 1 Pikmin 3 ( I personally love this one a lot it's got such a charm and the new koppatations and pikmin are a real delight 2 pikmin 4 ( not sure yet but think this can be my new fav the return of caves ice pikmin a dog night mode diversity and little baby snagrets it looks SO GOOOD 3 pikmin 2 ( this one is still amazing it feels really good to collect the treasures and the caves and new enemy's fit perfectly in the pikmin formula leaving me wondering why they didn't add it in pikmin 3 but oh well 4 Pikmin 1 ( I still love this one a lot dont get me wrong the monologues after each day the bosses and everything else is amazing it just has a lot of flaws like the pikmin tripping and getting distracted the 30 day time limit and how brutal the game can be with killing pikmin

*Empress Bulblax*

Bulborb Pikmin, He Is My Lord And Saviour

I don't think the new camera angle would've worked in the old small levels because you'd be able to see most of the level too soon but it looks like the levels are bigger in this game so the new camera angle probably helps make sure the size increase doesn't make the game a nightmare to navigate. Seems cool. Also, I think the old camera angle was partially used to optimize the game by not having to model as much of the world. You can sometimes see the background a little bit in Pikmin 1 & 2 during scenes/dialogue & it looks absolutely primitive in comparison to the amazingly designed stuff you're supposed to be looking at.

Notes, 3 original color pikmin, 2 from pikmin 2, 2 from pikmin 3 and 1 variant pikmin+ the 1 new pikmin type. This total of 8 to 9.

Oh sure, I feel tears of the kingdom with this is a nice voucher idea. No real point not using a voucher if buying digital versions of tears which I wish nintendo was honest about $70 to sell the voucher.

A free camera 😭 finally omfg

In the older GameCube pikmin days, camera angle was EVERYTHING. I haven't owned a switch. But I can't imagine not having full camera angle control... dark areas need that

Literally everything was missing from Pikmin 3. Olimar. Treasure hunting. Manual swarming. Actual camera zoom. Multiple save files. You name it. It was Pikmin in name only, IMO.

I was sooo disappointed when Pikmin 3 removed caves and the amazing enemies found in them. I missed the empress and am happy she returns in hd

Most of the people I've heard talking about the caves in 2 hated them.

@@slimballs9650 WHATTT

@@slimballs9650 I've seen this weird recent uptick in people disliking them lately. A lot of not actually knowing what they're talking about to because they tend to call them completely random when actually pretty much if not every single floor uses a "base" with unique aspects that is then semi-randomized.

FINALLY someone who actually cares about bulbmin!!!

@@DrowsyBelt95670 😁

Yay I’m not alone

Ah yes lets see how that will turn out. XD Maybe they would walk on water and leave an ice trail. Hope they add that detail. Still the fact all types in Bloom can Jesus on water and not just blues is kinda...Wrong...

@@ThePentagramCross yeah but when non-blue pikmin find their decor gifts in an island what can they do?😂 Besides, I like to think of Bloom's pikmin as domestic pikmin: you can name each one of them, they eventually will dress up with accessories and they're not as good fighters as the wild pikmin from the main games So yeah these pikmin can walk on water xd

How about the Puppy?

The dog reminded me of Bulby from the first game.

@@DinoDude65600 I'm under the impression these new captains are from the same planet as Olimar.

stupid nintendo nerd ahh playstation miles ahead

Same

See Pikmin 3.

that's what i was thinking, hopefully they might think of changing it

Thicc onion

GOD PLEASE YES

The first game didnt have cave explorations nor treasures to collect

@@pote2frouifruite81 well he said "games". the first had the collection of the ship parts which are more like treasures than fruit and with 2 coming out only a couple of years later its still considered its "roots". no point trying to be a smartass when op's point is clear

@@glargle the cave exploration is exclusive to Pikmin 2 and in each Pikmin game we've been collecting different stuff to fit different storylines, theres no real going back to roots here, the caves could work differently but it does seem to be reusing ideas from Pikmin 2, just not really Pikmin 1

@King K. Rool The first Pikmin game is way shorter than Pikmin 3 yet no one complains about its length which shows nostalgia bias.

Lenght doesn't equal quality, 2 had major gameplay flaws, specially on balance and pacing, making caves a slog to complete and interrupting gameplay every chance it had, as well as making the new pikmin severly overpowered with purples breaking 90% of battles in the game. All this made the game a slog to replay, something a Pikmin game shouldn't do, as one of their main selling points is replayability. That said, 3 had its own set of flaws, mainly how linear and how reliant on backtracking it was. As for this one, I'm optimistic, treasure collecting doesn't seem to interrupt gameplay and I'm hopeful the concept of Dandori will remain inside of caves in some form.

Tha Plasm Wraith been having the time of its life it seems xd

@@dustymcwari4468 fr

Judging by the color of the main characters suits, i think they are rescue/medics trying to save all the people that went to the planet due to a big "gold rush", like the word spread about pnf being full of treasures and now a lot of people went there to get rich (since we see a castaway in a cave he was probably trying to get some treasure and his Pikmin got eaten leaving him alone)

To me I thought the 1st castaway kinda looked like Louie

PNF-404 is confirmed to be toxic to hoccatians. That’s why Olimar had limited time to repair his ship in the first game. Highly doubt it’s about colonizing but much like we’re planning to have moon/mars bases maybe they’re trying to set up a base there? Most likely it’s another treasure hunt though

And finally Advanced Wars

Honestly looks like a glowing mushroom

I'm so happy they ditched the leg-climbing mechanic from 3. I thought that was seriously the dumbest thing, so it's great to see the old method come back. I'm mixed on the dog creature, love the new Ice Pikmin, and really hate the artstyle of the new captains. (Shephard is the best looking one so far). The story is looking way better than 3 already, returning to treasure hunting and proper exploration. After such a huge letdown (for me personally) with Pikmin 3, I'm really liking how Pikmin 4 is looking to go back to the originals in terms of quality and charm.

Raving Long Legs! I love it! xD

Disco long leg is the name everyone use now

...I wonder if rock pikmin would be ideal against it.

I do wonder what Ice pikmin will do to be different from whites, if they also have an effect when getting eaten

@@VonFirflirch As far as seen they freeze the enemy who ate it, the effect looked similar as the Ultra-bitter spray from Pikmin 2, even with the enemy crumbling and leaving some nectar drops

Im curious why we would have both purple and rock in the game but happy they’re back anyway. Before seeing the thumbnail I thought the ice pikmin were the newer versions of rock.

@@BAE10 Because purple and rock are cute in different ways. We need both.

@@BAE10 Purples: Have carrying strength of 10 Pikmin and are resistant to getting blown away. They also had a stun when being thrown near enemies. Also, their throwing arc in 2 is short, but they homed in on the closest target. Rocks: Can break crystal walls and objects surrounded in crystal. Deal great damage when thrown, but cannot latch onto enemies (unlike Purples). They are immune to being crushed. Only have carrying strength of 1 Pikmin.

I think it's bright and joyful not really oversaturated.

Plus, it is still not the final version, so let's hope it looks better when it does come out!

They will make it work. Let them do their own thing first.

agreed, i really loved how pikmin 3 looked and i hope 4 can live up to the outstanding graphics of the last

@@etoyocc8556 I think that the environments look big and beautiful from what we've seen so far, I just wish there was more deep greens and natural hues like in the previous games rather than the brighter colours.

ahh

@@childrapistt666 bros hating under every comment

Oh ABSOLUTELY!!!

Duuude it is almost always decades of waiting between games. But I'm soooo ready for this entry!!

@@RodH-pj1py W

that would be Empress Bulblax and the Bulborb Larva's, they appeared in Pikmin 2 where Empress Bulblax was a boss in a few dungeons (caves), and in 2 of them she would always spawn those larva's who die in 1 hit, but can be really troublesome if they swarm

goofy ahh

You forgot Hey! Pikmin, thats a game too. >:V Unless ya not played it cuz people are not into it.

@@ThePentagramCross Yeah I'm not really into it, it's not a true pikmin game to me.

Hey! Pikmin, is mid

Oh.

50$ says it is

It has to be, he always gets into these situations

There is a chance it may be alph

@@pogpog9325 Alph doesnt really have the elongated features the castaway has.

Lol

So true lol😂😂

ahh

Yasssssssa

Ikr a *COMPLETELY* unexplored concept!!!!!!!!!

And four, count em four captains. I'm hoping they have a 4 player battle mode in this game. Also from the thumbnail it looks like purple white rock and winged pikmin are also returning.

@@Sgt-Wolf I'll bet you can custom name Otachi.

@@staretimecomics I hope so. That would be nice.

@@staretimecomics if so I'm naming mine after my dog lol

thing is the captain you play as seems to say nothing... i wonder if you can make your own captain.

Don't forget the writing on the ship! Despite the ship itself looking more "hocotate-like", the letters on it are like the ones from Koppaï! (Though they don't seem to make up an actual word🤷‍♀️)

@@jojo9849 very interesting observation! I didn’t even focus on the ship’s writing! With this added info, I think we may just be able to confirm this crew’s Koppaite origins.

Maybe it's a new race of people?

@@ronterzi2540 you could be right. Would definitely be interesting. If they are, it makes me wonder about things such as their dietary requirements, planet atmosphere, wildlife, etc. You definitely raise a good point!

@@ronterzi2540it is indeed a new race

Unless you kill it with with other pikmin

@@ThePikminCaptain thats the point

Funny thing is that the empress bulblax was in Pikmin 2

SAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMEEEEEEE

What about the onion design?

@@melonguy4362 I like it, it looks like a fruit

@@MockiN6j4y Huh your right Thanks for changing my prospective I guess I'm worried about change because I just care so much about the series and I don't want a bad mainline pikmin game

I think the eyes went red because it became night time. We've never been on the surface during the night before because the creatures become extremely hostile at night, so this is us actually getting to see what happens!

Probably not gonna happen, but I really like your Wraith idea lol. A wraith parasite that only activates at night could have some very fun implications.

Concerning Oatchi, I doubt the Blue and Ice Pikmin are going to be rendered moot by our new doggo friend. Maybe his buoyancy prevents him from entering Blue only dungeons. Maybe certain pathways require Ice to freeze bodies of water. Can't have a literal game breaking bug as a pet (because aren't Bulborbs supposed to be mutant ladybugs or other insect?)

Might be a spatoon-pikmin linkage

just hearing the word "wraith" brings back memories of seeing the water wraith for the first time as a kid in pikmin 2 😂

You are lucky indeed, I've played Pikmin 3 back in 2015, then played Pikmin 2 in 2018, and Pikmin in 2022, All so I could wait for this release.

I bought Pikmin 1 when it came out. I've been waiting a long time for a sequel to 2 and 3 (with caves!)

Glad to have you here, fellow fan

Literally

Yeah they’re not on the thumbnail, but caves are back so you never know.

ahhh😊

Oh god I forgot about him
