Is this the year of Pikmin 4? Or have they postponed it due to the failure of the Wii U?

I liked pikmin 2 because it was cozy with no time limit, but I'll probably never play another pikmin game because I've given up consoles
Why is he so perfect?
>>322259242
Hope they announce it next direct.
I don't think it will come out after the new Zelda.

I'm betting in an august release for pikmin

I want caves and real-life objects back. I'd also like the new game to be longer, and have online battle mode so I can actually play it. I really loved playing Bingo Battle on 3 with my sister but we had a falling-out so I can't play it anymore.
I want aFlying Waterwraith boss
How do you guys rank the games?]
I have all 3 but, haven't played 2 yet.
3 > 1 for sure though.
>>322259242
I like 2 more, I loved the dank atmosphere of the caves. The ambient music is surprisingly charming.
I really want a night hard mode. You can choose to stay up after dark to save any lost Pikmin, but, the night gets stupid hard with a bunch of enemies waking up. Red bulborbs are constantly awake and a bunch of enemies only found in caves show up above ground. You can collect all the bodies and treasure for the next day, and subsequently lower the amount of days you can complete the game in.
But I really want the Piklopedia back.
I've always been a fan of the Man-at-Legs, fantastic enemy design for the second game.

>>322261026
You really need to. There's no real consensus on the games, but most people I've seen agree that 2 is probably the best in the series, some going so far as to say "one of the greatest games of all time that no one ever talks about." I wouldn't go so far as to say that, but take it as you will.
I want more Pikmin 3 DLC. splitscreen co-op is so fun.
Just googled to see what this game is about and it sounds dumb as fuck

Why would you play a game about timed collection of shit
>>322261026
Emulate Pikmin 2 on Dolphin if you can, you can get it to run at 60 FPS (the original is 30) and at any resolution you want.

Nah already paid a pretty penny for the wii version to have on my Wii U.
At least I can resell it if I want to. Also, wagglin.
>>322261026
2 is definitely the most different in the series, and I'd say the most challenging and engaging. A lot of people might disagree due to the lack of time limit, but when I think of a game's difficulty I generally think of the individual challenges within the levels.

I'd love for it to get a urban setting, where they go to earth and the levels/zones are your oversized kitchen, bedroom, park, market, etc.
Enemies would be real-life bugs, bosses would be small animals.
>>322263302
Nintendo is a company, they rely on sales. Having a couple more games doesn't make a difference if no one buys them.

Keep it out of this thread fags.
I want Pikmin 4 to heavily focus on colonisation and exploration of the planet. You play as Olimar and Louie and have a rival team of captains with their own Pikmin from their own rival corporation. The president turns his company into a Xenobiology company and orders you to document every creature you can on the world and collect treasure to finance your expedition. If you don't collect enough treasure you have to bug out leaving your rivals to get back home to Hocotate with a big Nobel prize.
>>322261642
WiiU is a failure, they're already shelving it, as opposed to the Wii which lasted much longer, and was less powerful than the competition too.
Nintendo clearly sees it as one, which is what matter because they'll cut down support just like they did with the Wii.
>>322263628
Nobody cares salesfag, this is a pikmin thread.
>you have to grind new pikmin
Nah, this mechanic is dull, I want this out
It's fine to grow your very first pikmin of a given color involving a puzzle, but then the game should automatically generate a little as the days progress.
It's also fine to trade time for pikmin if you killed them. Still get punished for mistakes, but it's not the same shitty pikmin grind.
Mind I have not played 3 yet so this post could be obsolete, but that's what I hated about the first two games.
I hope they introduce a functioning Ecosystem in pikmin 4.
In previous games everything just sits around waiting for you to come interact with it, I want to see a function foodchain where the animals are actually hunting eachother and breeding.
It may be just like ZeldaU, it will get a "ultra HD" version on the NX for some of that sweet double dipping those jews are so fond of.
What matters is that the game lasts longer than 10 hours this time around. Hopefully.
Needs to have all enemy variations in it.
>>322264267
This. This. This.
I fucking love games where different kinds of enemies attack each-other. My balls get so wet.
>>322264127
>having to grind new Pikmin in the first place
Somebody sucks at the game.
>>322264267
Honestly this would be one of the best things they could ever do, but I can't see how it would work unless the entire planet was depicted in one giant, inter-connectedopen worldmap.
>>322264267
Are there enemies who obtain new powers depending on what pikmin they eat?
That would also be cool. Some world interaction happening in general, since the games focus on nature.
>>322264503
>le git gud xD
>for pikmin
Let's keep the soulsfag mentality out of this thread
>you can only have enemy interactions if the map is connected
Monster Hunter has tiny ass areas and it has plenty of things of this kind, how are the two related in any way
>>322264127
To be fair the grinding is there so you need to manage time and resources between exploring and harvesting. If you got pikmin for free you'd never have to worry about getting more, and once you hit the population cap for each you never have to worry about it anyway.
>>322264536
It would be neat to have some "top of the foodchain" predators on some of the maps who evolve according to what they eat.
They could have certain territories, and they would hunt whatever wanders around in them(they could even introduce a migrating mechanic for creatures to move around the map).
That way it would be a strategic decision to try and tackle those predators before they became too strong or ate the right kind of critters to evolve and fuck you up.

You do realize that it was really easy right? Purples broke the game so badly that only enemies in water or the Fiery Bulbax can stop them
>>322264769
I'm just saying you shouldn't have to spend much time gathering pellets and bringing back creature corpses at all if things go well.
>Monster Hunter has tiny ass areas and it has plenty of things of this kind, how are the two related in any way
Having a functioning semi-realistic eco-system and food chain is not the same as just allowing enemies to fight each other. If the game was still broken up into smaller maps with as few enemies as prior Pikmin games have had in each of the overworld levels, I doubt such a thing could be simulated to any reasonable degree.

Why would Nintendo make so little physical copies? There's tons of other Nintendo games that have many copies circulating. Why not Pikmin 3?

I want to actually take these Pikmin with me to my fucking ship, Nintendo. Stop being fags.
>>322265407

deepest lore
>>322259242
Whats a good way to go play Pikmin 1 and 2? I remember playing the fuck out of Pikmin 1 when I was a kid around age 8-9ish I believe. I was just old enough to comprehend what the fuck I was doing but not old enough to do it super well but I still beat the game.
I played it on my sister-in-law's gamecube 5 years ago and enjoyed it still. Now as a 22 year old I desire to beat the series. I own Pikmin 3 digitally so I just need 1-2.
Thanks for any help.
>>322266718
Emulate with a controller of some sort on Dolphin with the 60 FPS hack. Buying a physical copy of 2 is hard now since I recall it being fairly pricey.
>>322266623
>>322266628
I feel that people don't really talk about Pikmin 1's atmosphere enough. The music, early 6th gen graphics, and the wide, open areas really make you feel abandoned
>>322266718
Dolphin is probably the only free way to beat it, but it requires a decent CPU.
Otherwise, hit up craigslist and look for people selling gamecubes. They usually have pikmin 1 or 2 there.
>>322266887
Other than it just being nice to have. Do I really NEED the 60 fps hack? I can live without it, I'm not much of a stickler for that sort of thing though I prefer it. Yeah, I've seen pricey ass copies at video game shops i see here and there.
>>322266959
Yeah I have Dolphin since I wanted to play some game when I was a kid about capturing monsters in cards and shit and using them to fight other monsters. Never got around to finding the game and now the name is lost to me.
Will playing Pikmin 1 and 2 on a Wii be fine? Not those shitty remakes with the motion controls. I mean just putting the gamecube discs in the WIi.

Motion controls are pretty decent for those games, don't shit on them if you haven't tried it.
>>322267472
>Other than it just being nice to have. Do I really NEED the 60 fps hack? I can live without it, I'm not much of a stickler for that sort of thing though I prefer it.
No you don't need it, neither of the original games were 60 FPS due to the limitations of the Gamecube, but it isn't very difficult to get it working. There is a youtube tutorial on how to do it, it takes like 3 minutes and it definitely improves the games.
>>322266935
>>322266718
The Wii versions have some minor improvements like fixed glitches, the new saving system and longer throwing range. Pikmin 1 Wii has the Pikmin sorting button. Pikmin 2 Wii has nerfed Purples some other changes. If you can handle the controls get the Wii ones
>>322267513
Yeah that thing.
>>322267662
Honestly never tried them, just gave them a glance at the box and saw motion controls and I've never cared for them though they can be fun in some games. Just not a game I got used to using a control for
Do I have an option to use some sort of controller? If its compatible with the Wii U then that means I can just play all 3 Pikmin and be happy.
>>322267724
Gotcha, its a quality of life thing. I'll consider it if my plans to just play on the Wii U dont pan out. Thanks.
>>322267923
>do you prefer Pikmin 1 or 2?
1 by far. 2 was shitl
>what feature would you like for the next game?
Night time exploration
>favourite enemy?
Bulborbs because they are cute
I hope Pikmin 4 is for Wii U. It's the perfect system for it.
>>322268036
>>322267946
All wii games are compatible with the Wii U.
You need to use wii-controllers to play them though.
Is there a pikmin game which doesn't have a day limit or in which the limit can be disabled?
I know it might be silly, but it stresses me out thinking 'if I don't find any parts today, I'm gonna die here.'
>>322268292
Played 1 and 2, used to love playing 2's battle mode with a friend back on the gamecube. So was 3 actually any good? I've heard mixed reviews.
>>322268391
1 isn't as stressful as it is made out to be. I beat it when I was 8.
2 is the one you'd probably like, there is no day limit.
3 has no day limit but you have to collect enough fruit to survive (which is incredibly easy).
>>322268585
It's the best in the series, both single and multiplayer
>>322268391
Pikmin 2 has no day limit at all. Pikmin 3 has a very easy limit to ignore, though, so I urge you to try it. It's not really stressful.
>>322266629
what is this?
>>322268585
Of course it is.
The only complaint is that it's kinda short. Still has fun multiplayer and time-attack modes to make up for it though.
>>322268391
2 has no limit, it's nice and cozy.
>>322268434
Hey guys what's going on in this thread?
>>322268391
The only really stressful game (and that's a stretch) is pikmin 1, 2 doesn't really have a time limit, (is there even a losing state in it?), and 3's time limit can be expanded if you dont suck at the game, I got up to 90 days I believe when I played it, and you start with 3 days iirc.
>>322268947
Get out of here you demon
>>322268872
Fun Fact: The second half of this level was a 6th level, but it was combined because 7 years of development time isn't enough
>>322268947
I really liked this fella and his buddy in 3, hopefully we get something similar in the next Pikmin game.
>>322269097
From what I played of the pikmin 3 demo for wii u. The game is a bloody hack and slash.
>>322266629
Pikmin's lore is probably one of the greatest lore in video games. Phone cords are still there and intact so that must mean humans haven't been gone long, but that doesn't make sense because there are different kind of species everywhere and you need a lot of time for different animals to mutate and evolve. I don't know, it's cool to think about though.
>>322268292
Would a Wii U pro controller suffice or would I actually need the Wiimote and nunchucks?
I think I have a classic controller for the Wii in my closet

PS4 is a huge disaster that single-handedly kills our hobby by breaking records without a single noteworthy game.

Pikmin 4 was very likely never a wii u game.
Why else would they announce it but not the platform its on, when its close to completion and they needed every game announcement they could get for wii u.

I wanted to like pikmin because i love nintendo.
I bought pikmin 3 and couldnt really get into it
And by bought i mean it was a free download
>>322273058
Then you have shittaste, happens. Was my first Pikmin. Played it for two minutes and already noticed the 10/10 gameplay.
It helps when you play many non-Nintendo games that always have piss-poor shit gameplay compared to Nintendo. Even Little King's Story, although it's a much better game in generall due to variety, weird shit, OST, art, content, sims stuff.
>>322273058
Pikmin 3 was fucking excellent despite not being as good as the first two.
>>322269825
Wouldn't we have seen humans though, eventually? Imagine even fighting a human in Pikmin.. wtf
>>322269825
>>322273463
>Although ambiguous, PNF-404 is at least very Earth-like with similar geography. In an interview with Shigeru Miyamoto, he states that PNF-404 is in a state where humans are extinct.
There are no humans in the Pikmin games. Unfortunate, but very interesting regardless.
