A look back at the Pikmin series, discussing how it portrays war and death, and how it redefines the RTS genre. No stone on PNF-404 will be left unturned. The only catch? I played Pikmin for the first time eight months ago.

Fun extra touch in Pikmin 2: The Pikopedia entries for creatures have two entries each, one for each captain. Olimar has scientific observations of the creature while Louie... has culinary ones.

Man, that “war game” analogy really helped me understand Miyamoto’s viewpoint on the pikmin. I remember seeing his comments about how he wanted the player to lament over even a single pikmin death, and although I do feel sadness over pikmin deaths, I’ve never understood it on the level that Miyamoto seems to want to convey. I think he even compared it to Saving Private Ryan at some point. Once you equated it to a war story in this video, I started to understand it more. Strip away the nintendo charm and you’re essentially a General developing strategies and measuring your possible losses..

Imagine talking about Pikmin 2 without talking about the Piklopedia and the Treasure Hoard. Eight year old me would spend wayyyyy too much time reading through the descriptions and notes in those two databases, especially learning about the different organisms encountered from Olimar's scientific notes. While it might not be the most up front interesting part of the game, it was a good way of providing a little extra depth beyond just what was presented directly to you.

I always viewed Pikmin 1 as a dark game but I never really took the time to ask why or think about what it could say or mean outside of the context of the game's own narrative, and how that song plays into these themes. You've completely reframed my entire viewpoint of Pikmin 1. I'm super excited to see how this video continues and finishes. You're an incredible video creator, media analyst, and freaking artist man.

That is the weird thing about Pikmin 1 and 2 is it attracts different types of fans. Some prefer the treasure collecting of 2, some prefer the time management of 1. The other makes the other group more nervous and panicked. As a 2 fan, 1 was nerve wracking at first. The 30 day time limit was too hard for a first playthrough. 3 is a solid balance between both styles but I miss the money aspect.

This man just did a pikmin 2 review without mentioning how OP purple pikmin are. Judging by the gameplay footage, he probably never realized that either. It's funny because the biggest concern of pikmin 2 in the review (of it being a chore to play through) can be solved by just one-shotting everything with purples. It's way more fun that way.
@lukers9819
@lukers9819 4 года назад
I agree that I am surprised that he didn't notice it, but for the opposite reason. I personally feel that purple pikmin made the game way too easy, and even took the fun out of trying to figure out how to take out a new enemy. What do you do when you meet a new enemy in Pikmin 2? Doesn't matter what it is (excluding bosses), just throw purple pikmin at it and stomp it into submission. There are good parts about pikmin 2 (mainly the piklopedia/treasure hoard and high enemy count), but it was bogged down by some heavy flaws in the lack of a day limit, purple pikmin, and caves (these took a far bigger % of the game than they should have). But that is my opinion, and it is obviously subjective.
@Glockenspheal
@Glockenspheal 4 года назад
I also feel purples break the game in a bad way, they are just too powerful, and red in contrast are just less useful than any other type, they serve as just white and purple fodder. Here's a breakdown of every type and how to balance them. Reds: initial type of Pikmin, 1.5 attack multiplier which is good, but not great like purples. fire hazards are a joke, they can all be deactivated in some way, even fiery Bulblax can be killed with other types with water or just by throwing purples at it. great fodder for whites and purples tho. A great way to balance them would be: make fire hazards non-destroyable, and make them less plentiful to balance. Make purples not stun and lose shockwave and 2x attack multiplier. Yellows: Electricity is deadly in pikmin 2, if you don't want to risk any pikmin, yellows are super useful, as well as they can reach high places and break specific barriers. They don't need much balancing but it would help to make electricity not as deadly, why is it so dangerous?! Blues: They traverse water, which is abundant and often a permanent hazard. Most balanced type in the game imo. White: super agile, can find hidden treasure, poison geysers are continuos and can only be deactivate with whites, can be used as fodder to kill enemies with poison, no doubt the second most useful type. If you balance the other types, it becomes more reasonable, maybe lower the poison damage they do. Purples: Make battles a joke, if an enemy can get damaged by stun damage, they are done in seconds, even bosses like the Emperor Bulblax, Raging Bloyster and Beady long legs can be killed super easily with them, deal insane damage with shockwaves and have a natural 2x attack multiplier, they stun enemies, carry 10 times their weight making them quite useful for multitasking, clearly the most powerful and useful type, completely outclass the red ones since they can do everything they can but better. Remove all stun, shockwave and attack effects, they are already quite good by being a multi-task tool, maybe keep the stun mechanic, but nerf it a bit so it doesn't last 2 years.
@WaterKirby1994
@WaterKirby1994 4 года назад
@@Glockenspheal Pikmin 2's way of balancing White & Purple Pikmin types was making them rare & much harder to get than other types. Purple Pikmin literally fall under the too good to use category as you need 100 of them to get a certain treasure & it should be noted that they are essentially glass cannons. Purple Pikmin can be killed by anything that kills Pikmin & are slow in exchange for their immense strength. Besides you're forgetting about Bulbmin the rarest type of Pikmin as they can only be used in certain caves. They are immune to Electricity, Water, Poison, & Fire however you can't keep them when you leave a cave so they should be the priority for Candypop Buds so that they can still be with you in a weaker form. Red Pikmin have always been the Normal Pikmin Footsoldiers in every game because of them being the 1st type you get. A good way to make them useful later on would be to introduce a Volcanic Terrain that most Pikmin Colors can't cross much like water is in the games.
@Glockenspheal
@Glockenspheal 4 года назад
Sure they are harder to get than other pikmin, but they are so powerful and useful that their positives greatly outweight(pun intended) the negatives. They are glass-cannons to anything they can't kill first, which aren't many things. Bulmin are awesome yeah, I really like how they balanced them out. And red pikmin are not just normal footsoldiers, the only game where they are almost useless is pikmin 2 since fire hazards are very very forgiving and can be dealt without them, and purple pikmin utterly outclass them in combat, heck, purple pikmin make combat pointless most of the game. In pikmin 1 and 3, red pikmin are the absolute best way to deal with enemies (ignoring sprays in 3) since they are stronger and the fire hazards in those games are sort of permanent. The only thing I'd ask is to nerf purple's combat capabilities, the stun is way too long and powerful on its own, it can kill an Emperor Bulblax before it even comes out of the ground.
@WaterKirby1994
@WaterKirby1994 4 года назад
​@@Glockenspheal The Emperor Bulbaxes in Pikmin 2 were weak compared to the Monster that served as the final boss of the 1st game. I can guarantee that the Supreme Emperor Bulbax would doom a squad of Purples if they ever met in combat. I don't think Purple Stunning would have an effect because of its sheer size, while it's attacks would prove most devastating for purples because of how slow they are. Had there been more enemies immune to purple stun or made so that purples would be in for a rough fight you wouldn't be saying they were overpowered. There were some cases like Man at Legs where you really wouldn't want to waste Purples. You can't get Purples from an Onion & Violet Candypop Buds stop appearing everywhere except 2 cases once you have a certain amount. I personally knew there would be a treasure that only 100 Purple Pikmin could lift at some point so I was always careful with my Purples & as a result rarely sent them into danger. Even after I learned how overkill they can be I still hesitate sending them to areas with Electric Hazards or certain enemies.

@Terithian 4 года назад
Yeah, I've never gotten into the first game that much because I find the time limit too stressful. I can't help but constantly worry that if I make a mistake, I'll be unable to catch up and that'll be it, game over. Pikmin 2 is my favourite because it's difficult, but rewarding. I love scouring every floor of the caves for treasure, with Olimar's log and the Ship's sales pitch for each treasure being my real reward for finding each one. I guess I might not have that same opinion if I had ever failed repeatedly at the caves, getting to the end only to not have enough Pikmin to beat the boss or carry the treasure, but I never had that experience in the caves. They were certainly tough, but the difficulty ramped up slowly enough that my skill was able to grow alongside it and the game never threw anything at me I was not capable of.

While I find Pikmin simple enough that the time limit doesn't feel overbearing, I'm loving Pikmin 2's lack of that time limit.

I also love collecting the treasures and reading Olimar's notes on them, and the different species on the planet. I also like having Louis there, so I can tackle levels however I want. I usually have one of them back at the ship to harvest Pikmin, or if I've spotted multiple treasures, have each of them going after them. I love it lol

I was thinking the same thing. I found the time limit of Pikmin 1 and the waterwraith to be incredibly stressful. Pikmin 2 has way less stress to it as you can take as long as you want. If you fail at a cave, you just waste some of your own time, but you don't have to restart the entire game.

Pikmin is probably my favorite video game series of all time; it is a masterclass of virtually everything I adore in a game and I’ve stuck with this series since the first entry. Here’s some thoughts from a longtime fan of the series. I didn’t like Pikmin 2 as much when I first played it; I still adored it because, well it’s Pikmin, yet I preferred the first game for a lot of the reasons you discussed in the video. But as I became a more seasoned fan of the series, I came to respect it so much more as a deep and meaty challenge for veterans of the series. Nowadays, it’s easily my favorite as a big Pikmin lore junkie. And lemme tell ya, waiting for Pikmin 3 for like 9 years and getting to play it on release was an unreal experience. Not to mention how absolutely stunning this game’s visuals are 6 years later. I also found the focus on the main overworld areas and less so on caves a satisfying return to form, and a soft reimplementation of the time limit a good addition if a little flawed. But without a doubt, the lore, world building, and theories surrounding Pikmin is my favorite part of this series. There’s hours worth of content theorizing how plants and machines formed a strange symbiosis in the Pikmin universe, how Onions, Candypop Buds, and Pikmin are all different stages of a single species, and even how Olimar might be hunted by an entity featured in all of the games. It’s what keeps my excitement and hope for the series still alive despite the painful radio silence time after time. Post Video Edit: HOLY CRAP SCRUFFY! I LOVE HIM!
@WaterKirby1994
@WaterKirby1994 4 года назад
I always preferred the cave system of Pikmin 2, & if you want a time based challenge beating Citadel of Spiders grants you the key to Challenge Mode. It's unfortunate that it was never brought up in this video. While I admit Pikmin 2 should have had a time limit when trying to repay the debt, being able to spend hundreds of days with your Pikmin saves feels really good. Still it's unfortunate the concept of caves wasn't explored much further with challenges like Cave of Ordeals or Pit of 100 Trials. Piklopedia & Louie's cooking notes really should have returned. My biggest disappointment with Pikmin 3 was how so many species from Pikmin 2 didn't make it into Pikmin 3. I remember during the long wait for Pikmin 3 thinking we would get 7 Map Areas & dozens of caves. I knew Pink Pikmin were going to be capable of flight, I just didn't think they would be anything like they ended up being, I had the expectation they would look like normal pikmin only Hotpink & with wings. My hopes for Pikmin 4 are we get most of the species to return with an even larger scale cave system spread across 7 overworld maps that would be quite large for the most part. Perhaps we could have 10 Types of Pikmin play a role in the game even if 1 of them were Bulbmin? It's actually surprising that Pikmin 3 was 1 of the few 1st or 2nd Party Wii U games to never get a Switch Port as of March 2020.

I love the video, but as a long time Pikmin fan, I do have some stuff I want to go over. Pikmin games are built on the challenge they present along side their puzzles, they have and will always be collectathons, so the games will almost always feel repetitive to most people who don't love being completionists to a degree. There is also a huge divide between the fans of the series as some people love the caves, feeling like they add more to the games, and some people despise the caves, feeling like they take away from the games. Starting with Pikmin 1 you can complete the game without getting every ship part, though its only a few parts so there isn't a reason not to get them all unless you are running out of time. Pikmin 2 doesn't focus on stressing the player in that there isn't a limited number of days you have to beat the game, instead it was removed to help open the game up to newer consumers and widen the appeal of the game, with this change they added an optional ending with lots of extra treasure to collect so that people who enjoy the game play or want more of a challenge could be rewarded. They also introduced sprays which you can get by collecting berries that continuously re-spawn, these sprays can be used to either greatly buff your Pikmin's speed and power or to turn an enemy to stone making them unable to move for a short period of time. It is recommended that if you don't like losing Pikmin to the many challenging monsters, then you should collect a lot of these sprays to make the game easier to traverse. Pikmin 3 does have some nice melodies and everyone should be allowed to like whatever music they want, but I will always believe Pikmin 2's music design was much better. There is an entire video someone created that goes over the dynamic music in Pikmin 2 and how doing small things will alter how you hear the music with it adding, dropping, and even switching parts of the tracks out all based on what you are doing at any given moment, but the way Pikmin 2 handles this is on a completely different level to other games as for the longest time I never noticed the subtle changes in the track while I was playing because it changes the melody so seamlessly that I couldn't hear the changes until I was focusing on them. I honestly wish there were more people who are fans of this series as its one of my all time favorites and I still go back and play Pikmin 2 periodically every year

I enjoyed these games before having mainly played pikmin 3, but after playing 1 and 2 on switch now I gotta say this is definitely one of my favorite game franchises. I no longer stress about the time limit and I must say it's just so fun to play through. I also no longer suck at the combat which is a major help

I know this video is old, but eh, wanted to mention something: Namida Ga Afureta. It's a song in the same album Ai no Uta was in, and it adds so much to the story. It's supposed to be Olimar's response to Ai no Uta, how he regrets not being able to tell the pikmin how much they meant to him. "But we'll never ask you to love us" vs ""And I didn't say that I loved you - I'm sorry". Where's Ai no Uta is a sad song in a cutsy disguise, this one is just sad. To the point that the title translates to "The Tears Overflowed". If you happen to see this and you have the time, please look into the song. As I said, it adds a lot to the story and just makes Olimar an even better character.

I love the pressure of Pikmin 1 but I was obsessed with the collecting mechanics so Pikmin 2 is perfect. Pikmin 3 feels like it tries to do both and while I know a lot of people love it, I still prefer the earlier games. Pikmin 4 is obviously an evolution of Pikmin 2 with a story and I'm in love with it so far. I think regardless of which gameplay you like, there's a game for you! I honestly love that they all feel different.

Thank God Pikmin 3 is coming to the Switch. I couldn’t finish the game, because of the Wii-U’s questionable Gamepad. - Edit: After playing Pikmin 3 on the switch, I can say that it’s not my favorite Pikmin game. Graphics are beautiful, the bosses are incredible, but my problem with the game is the urgency of Kopai’s food supply. Pikmin showed urgency of Olimar repairing his ship in 30 days, giving you plenty of time to collect all the parts. But Pikmin 3 took urgency to the extreme. You can collect maybe one fruit in a day, and then when the day ends, you see like 4 or 5 bottles of juice consumed. That just makes completing the game much more stressful. Pikmin 4 even pokes fun at this in the beginning of the game where the Rescue Corps wonder about their food supply, and the captain says to not worry about that. Which makes Pikmin 4 the “real” Pikmin 3.

I really enjoyed Pikmin 2 for its focused challenges and resource management over time management- I can see why you dislike it, especially given how samey the caves can be. This is a shame, since- as someone who's dabbled with making custom caves- there are a lot of themes and resources to use to make each one feel different, which just weren't utilized in the normal game.

This was incredibly well done! Pikmin is one of my favourite series and I'm excited for the 4th one! It's insane to think we've waited longer between 3's original release and 4 than 2 and 3. I think we have different views of what makes a game stressful as I think Pikmin's 1 timer and Pikmin 2's waterwraith are some of the most stressful things in the series. I liked Pikmin's 2 lack of timer and 3's pseudo timer. Those games are still difficult and fun without Pikmin's 1 timer. I would argue Pikmin 2 has is just the most difficult game to complete overall, while Pikmin 3 has the most difficult final boss.

A little sad you didn't even briefly mention the hidden details of a deep lore potentially being revealed to us through subtle hints and optional text suggesting there's a bigger story going under. Umibozu might just be a theory but there's a lot of evidence supporting it's validity, but even if you dispute the evidence there is something going on with Louie and the planet that seems to have the power to crash your ship every time. There lurks a something deeper than the depths of the submerged castle, and I'm absolutely obsessed with wanting to learn more about the world of PNF-404, how it got to this state, where the humans went, what exactly are these creatures that now inhabit the land, what secret does the planet hide, why is there such an emphasis on Louie doing terrible things. (also the Pikmin 2 emails tell a great optional story that really brings out the personality of characters, but its a shame it goes unappreciated. Pikmin Characters are surprisingly deep if you take the time to read the optional text. Olimar may be the deepest nintendo character of all time.

The thing you said about Pikmin 3's fruit system feeling less rewarding on subsequent playthroughs is something I actually felt on my first playthrough, I lived through the 9 year gap between 2 and 3 and had a lot of time to go back and play the first 2 and "git gud" at Pikmin, so the only moment where I actually felt a bit of tension in 3 was when Louie stole the fruit, the rest of the game was smooth sailing with a fruit buffer that never got close to running out, the average Pikmin 1 playthrough for a first timer takes about 25 days, I think that's perfect, it gives some wiggle room for slow players or those who had to spend time recovering from major losses but not so much that you ever feel like you can afford to screw around, in Pikmin 3 though with all fruit collected there is a day limit of 100, for those aiming to just beat the game and not bother with 100% the average first playthrough is about 30 days, for those going for 100% it's about 40 days, in either case it's less then half of the days you have to work with, that'd be like if Pikmin 1 gave you 60 days, the tension would be non-existent, I understand that Pikmin 3 has you making your own time limit with the fruit system so it makes sense for it to be a bit more lenient then Pikmin 1 but it goes too far in the leniency direction IMO, honestly I'd rather the fruits have just been unnecessary collectibles like the treasure in Pikmin 2, I know you took issue with those but I take much greater issue with Pikmin 3 giving the false impression of having an ever changing time limit which is a really tantalizing proposition to me but in reality you're only ever stressed for time once when Louie swipes your fruit, anyways tangent over... Pikmin 2 is my favourite but I like it for reasons kinda separate from Pikmin 1's core themes, I really do love the limited time aspect from the original and was excited to see it return in a sort for Pikmin 3, which is part of why I'm so disappointed at it's poor execution, If caves like in Pikmin 2 do return in a future Pikmin game, but in one where time matters, I think a good compromise would be slowing the clock down by a factor of 10, instead of completely halting it; 13 mins on overworld=130 mins in a cave.

@pyrrhickong
@pyrrhickong 5 лет назад
I find Pikmin always really interesting as it's the sort of narrative through-line that Nintendo usually likes tucking into their games brought out to the forefront. Kirby has constant little tidbits of being darker than it appears tucked into its lore, Metroid usually tucks its implications and darker elements into data logs or environmental implications, even games like Zelda or Paper Mario usually tuck their darker elements in specific narrative sections or areas and then go back to being fun adventure time or goofy slapstick rpg fun times. Pikmin is a constant addressing of these darker elements, of the responsibility you hold over your troops and family, of how small your stature in the world is and overcoming the hostile environment around you. Death and loss is not just implied or brought up, it's ever-present in a way that many Nintendo titles tap into, but short of Majora's Mask, rarely make their focus.Even as banter makes the characters a bit goofier and more light hearted, that sort of bleakness toward the exploration of the planet remains... and I think that's a very solid focus. Not necessarily one that'd be all that financially successful, but one that a fanbase can really develop from. You do an amazing job at illustrating that. Excellent work on this one, you can feel the motivation and inspiration that went into both the vid and your passion toward analyzing the series. Zelda Game & Watch Retrospective when

I can't explain why I love this game so much but the aesthetics are so pleasant but also dangerous. I was very happy to get the Wii copies where I can use the remote instead of a controller which I think has become a necessity. The sequal was also amazing, I still haven't fully finished it, some of the later levels are very challenging. I have the other 2 games but am waiting to play them like a fine aged wine.

I had an afternoon for the first time in a while, and being the huge Pikmin 3 fan that I am, I took an hour to sit and watch this in full. To start, I feel that I can say to the fullest extent that this is the best summary of pikmin insight that I've witnessed. Each game had the level of detail confined into the time limited to its section that, I'm sure the community could agree, made it perfect for the required bits to mention for all games. The community presentation at the end was just the icing on the cake; it took what the entire video culminated into and twisted towards the perspectives of the people who are also passionate about the topic. (I nearly screamed when Scruffy started speaking but that's besides the point.) I couldn't agree with the claims in this video more, (especially the ones about Pikmin 1) and I anticipate the future of this franchise just as much as I hope anyone who reads this comment does. And of course, thank you, Liam Triforce, for this incredibly well structured and great summarizing video.

I ended watching this after Pikmin 3 deluxe was announced. Excellent video. You excited for 2 player co-op and new difficulty settings?

This was a really good way of showing off all 3 pikmin games and their strengths and weaknesses along with a little bit of their history and pikmin has been with me since I was born it’s incredible bountiful beautiful brutal and a great experience there’s nothing out there that will ever capture the magic of pikmin or it’s beauty that I can see in the future

Don't mind me, just rewatching this masterpiece to prep for Pikmin 4. Side note, iffin' you want to remake this vid in honor of such a legendary moment in mankind's history, well I certainly won't complain!

I bought the Switch for the pokemon game, metroid prime and pikmin 4 ... Pokemon Sword and Shield was criminally disappointing and I still wait for those games lmao

The Waterwraith in the Submerged Castle is terrifying. Personally Pikmin 2 is my favorite, and I don't understand the desire to not collect the treasure. They really aren't hard to find and you quickly get a hotter colder radar. The point of Pikmin 2 for me is to relax as you casually explore and discover untold treasure and danger. And in regards to Pikmin 1 the 30 day time limit which sets a gameplay timeline under 7hrs, which is very short and personally i think we need more short games today, the sort of thing that can be beaten in an afternoon or 2 and get great enjoyment before its time to continue exploring new games.
