The Pikmin community would literally make satanic ritual circles out of the game cases, plushies, and Wii nunchucks whenever a Nintendo Direct was announced in order to manifest this game over the past 10 years. It’s great to see the rituals finally worked!
Nintendo finally heard Arlo's chants and recognized his sacrifices.
Same bro same
Credit thesneakyspy
game cases and plushies? you undersell me i was sacrificing actual goats man!
Don’t forget satanic rituals over actual plants
Literally everyone asked for Pikmin 4. HIGHLY anticipated
I asked for this game for ten years...and so did Arlo
Nobody asked for??? The entire Pikmin community has been praying for this game for a literal decade
And was worth every second of the wait.
EXACTLY
I bet that person got really excited then.
@@firenz861.19 million copies of pikmin 1 sold worldwide. 1.12 million copies of 2, 1.27 million of 3, and in only the first week of the game being out pikmin 4 sold over 500,000 in Japan, not counting digital copies.
@@nathanlopez6545 I guess that person is very rich then.
The thing I love most about pikmin is that it is built to be played at least twice, by design. The first time to laid-back explore and figure out where everything is and what all the unknown enemies do, and the second time to beat the game as efficiently as you can once you have all the info.
Only twice? 😂 though, totally understand. I love doing runs with various stipulations in places to make each run unique and (typically) more challenging.
The first game is the epitome of this design philosophy. I recall only getting 24-25 ship parts in 30 days… only to get all 30 parts in 19 days on play #2.
no play it never
Pikmin has infinite replay value, and I’m absolutely happy with that design
Pikmin 4 really needs a NG+
i love how arlo is just automatically associated with pikmin
So true
Yes, saw the title and immediately thought "yes there is, arlo has been wanting this forever! "
Arlo is actually a blue leafman with furry leaves.
arlo gang
Arlo is just the default pikman fan
10:35 Those numbers are the opening week sales not the total sales of the games, Pikmin 3 deluxe had opening sales of 170,000 units but it sold 2.23 million units (Dec 2021).
So many people asked for this game what?
That's what I'm saying.
No we didn’t
@@Nbafanla03 Joe asked for it.
Yep he's dumb
@@Nbafanla03yeah we did
Editor needs his own 60-second review channel! That was fire 🔥
He would need a better camera
@@MrJleonp Not rlly, usually all u need is good audio for audiences to be content. His cam quality in this is more than good enough
Pikmin is one of those series’ that no matter how badly it sells, Shigure Miyamoto will always call for another one to be made, and make sure it’s higher quality than the last, and I mean, you can’t blame the guy, he did literally stake his entire career on making sure the first one would release on time, even so far as calling it “the next mario,” which while that hasn’t happened… Yet, is still high praise from Mr. Nintendo himself.
Well I think he's really happy as this game is selling big this time so he was proven right that it is a game people can love as much as him and Arlo it just took time.
It’s his passion project for sure, he clearly loves it to the same level as Mario
He loves pikmin 🥹
The multiplayer in this game is basically the 2-player mode from Mario Galaxy. In that game, you could shoot star bits to stun enemies to help out the first player. I feel like you make more of an impact in this game’s 2-player mode, because you can actually defeat enemies, help break down barriers, and hurry along Pikmin carrying items back to base. I would still prefer having an actual second player character, but I’ll take this for what it is.
Honestly I don't understand why they wouldn't just let a second player control Oatchi
@@beanieweenie1349 If the second player controlled Oatchi it would break the game considering the fact that you need to be able to use Oatchi’s jump for half the game play. Having both players constantly combine and recombine just for a small little cliff is annoying. Plus, Oatchi has pretty much every ability, so player one just walking and chucking stuff while player 2 moves at quick speeds, can jump, and has a bunch of other cool moves would create a severe power imbalance.
@@MySnugglePuppy yeah that makes sense
Fr
My brother and I are playing it and it's broken either way. You can break fences with it so you can get to areas sooner. You can also shoot treasures in quicker so you can get alot more done in a day.
The pikmin franchise is underappreciated and deserves more love
I've never played a Pikmin game, they actually never looked interesting to me, but when I saw Pikmin 4 preview, I was interested and all I have to say is... FUN 😍 This game is so cute and fun to play and kinda relaxing to me. I'm happy I gave Pikmin 4 a try :)
Well spin back around to Pikmin 3, that switch port is what got ME into the series with a nearly identical story 😂
Glad you like it! Will you play the other games once you finish 4?
@@TonyEtown420 Thanks for the recommendation 🙂
@@wayland513 Yeah I might go and try the other ones after 🙂
Same should I buy 1 and 2 when they come out physical or just buy 4?
I'm so happy pikmin is finally getting the recognition it deserves!
Definitely deserves all the love it can get!
Bro there were so many people asking for Pikmin 4 just because you weren’t doesn’t mean no one else was
Bruh it was a joke lmao
If you completed the demo you also got 5 free bomb rocks in the full version which is great for tearing down concrete walls early game or taking out large creatures.
There's like one concrete wall
@@Colin-dk4ym and you can take it out with the free bomb rocks! Boom! Literally. Gah that was cringe.. just forget about that.
I’ve only played the demo for Pikmin 3. And I surprisingly had fun, so I made a promise.. if Pikmin ever makes Pikmin 4. I would buy it. Gotta say, I’m having a lot fun with this game. As a newcomer pikmin fan, this was worth buying. Really hope there will be DLCs
I'm hoping for DLC too. It seems set up perfectly for it, too, so 🤞
Fr
Why did you wait for a Pikmin 4 and not continue 3?
@@goldencash4 I don’t own a Wii U. I was playing the demo from my brother’s Wii U.
@@Eunmi24 I see, pikmin 3 is on switch now too, as well as 1 and 2
Have you ever put toast into a toaster in the morning and tried to get all ur morning chores done before the toast is done? Ur zooming all over the place and when you get everything done and get back to the table before the little “ping!” and that wave of satisfaction hits you. That’s Pikmin
That’s such a good way to put it can I quote this
@@Jadondigital sure! Go crazy 👍
This game is quickly becoming my favorite game on the switch
The coop modes in nintendo games have always been designed with different skill levels in mind. A parent and child or older and younger sibling can play together without requiring the less experienced player to know what is going on. They are just there, and get to feel like they helped the other player and get to experience the fun too.
Mommy micah ❤
I heard "how dare you" in Arlo's voice when I read the title
I really enjoyed Pikmin 3 (also first one i played) and I immediately got Pikmin 4 ! I enjoy it a lot I like exploring and just collecting things and I like to strategize having the Pikmin do multiple things at once. I personally do enjoy more cozy/simply games. And I like in Pikmin that you can take your own pace with doing things. I also feel bad whenever I lose a Pikmin even tho I have a lot haha
I would suggest Pikmin 2 then. Since you've played 3 and 4. Pikmin 2 has a cozy vibe to it and no time limits so you can just explore and collect things. The strategizing isn't as prevalent in Pikmin 2 overworld as it is in other games though.
However, the underground in 2 provides a lot of room for strategy. From how many Pikmin of a type to take down, what types, when to have a Pikmin change it's type, etc. Time stops in the caves, but it's still a challenge because you're limited to the Pikmin that you take in. The upside of this is that there are frequent escape geysers so if you get low on Pikmin, you almost never have to continue deeper.
Pikmin 1 is also very fun, and very short. You have to get all 30 ship parts in 30 days, there is no treasure, it's a survival game. This sounds daunting but it's really not. There's more than enough days to get all parts first playthrough. Even if you don't, just restart a new game, it's only like 8 hours a playthrough anyway. But now you know where to go and what to do and can better strategize how to efficiently use your time
Don't play pikmin 1 then, as you're given a time limit of 30 days!
@@clockc It's not as scary as it sounds. Like ripping off a bandaid only to find it didn't really hurt as bad as you imagined
SAME
Cant wait for pikmin 5
11 years 😭
Bruh lol
Saying its a game nobody asked for is straight up false. There has been a big pikmin fan base thats been waiting for this game for years.
I play this with my 5 year old and we love it! The days help with parental moderation for my child. "Ok we are going to have to turn off the game when this day ends, ok?"
Arlo is going to kick your butt when he sees this title lol
The title of this video made me feel VERY defensive for Arlo for a second.
Fun fact: The title of this video was designed to infuriate Arlo.
Everyone saying it - Arlo is Pikmin’s mascot.
The Cookie Monster thing he uses looks like a leafling but fuzzy
Im sorry you didn’t ask for it but LITERALLY EVERYONE ELSE ASKED FOR IT
> Zelda fans when Nintendo releases a non-Zelda game
Pikmin has always had a special place in my heart, so my thirst has finally been quenched with the release of 4. It's been just great seeing what everyone has to say about this series and watching newcomers experience the joy of commanding a squad of Pikmin and the horror of losing them.
Pikmin 4 definitely has the potential to win the family game of the year award this year
Pikmin's been one of my favorite series for as long as I can remember. It definitely has a small but mighty fanbase who've been waiting a long time for this game. We've been begging for Pikmin 4 for years but not as loudly as the Metroid people so maybe that's why a lot of people never noticed?
I'm super glad it's finally out though and glad to see it's gaining new fans.
I know a German UA-camr who waited for this. When he returns from his hiatus, he will probably make a video, or ten, about this. If I think about it, Pikmin is probably the reason for the Hiatus.
Du redest jetzt aber nicht über Game Mansion oder😂 wie geil dass du auch Deutsch bist
@@Sneaky_racoon_sly Genau den meine ich!
@@Notfallkaramell mittlerweile macht er wieder Videos
Wait, so there's no death countdown in this Pikmin game? YES!
LOL omg that editing I love it
1:56 This is a very cozy game to play
1:58 PEW PEW PEW PEW *loud machine gun noises*
Been playing Pikmin since I was a tiny child. Skipped out on 2 because I didn't know it existed and my older brother didn't like Pikmin, but I still have our original copy of 1 on the GC, and have played quite a bit of 3 on both the Wii U and Switch.
Pikmin 4 is awesome and has reinvigorated my childhood love for the franchise.
I just played the demo. When it got to sunset I saw I had one pikmin all the way across the map waiting for me. I decided to leave him cause I thought it wouldn’t matter too much. NO THOUGH, the game shows me a cutscene as my space ship flys away of the one pikmin I left behind being CHASED AND EATEN. The amount of guilt I felt after seeing that was unlike any other guilt I’ve had from a videogame.
I wanna see the neighbours watching wood record a full review of Pikmin outside in the grass
"Nobody asked for it"? "Don't need another Pikmin game"? Are you high sir?
I haven't played any of the Pikmin games yet, but after watching this I think I'm going to finally try it out.
Thank you kind sir
1:55 - favourite bit 😂 cosy game?! Seeing the Pikmin die breaks my heart too 😢
hi wood, the video is AMAZING thank yous so much I will buy the Pikmin 4 game now
BeatEmUps: "No one asked for Pikmin 4"
Arlo wants to know your location
I remember seeing ads for Pikmin 3 in 2013 to 2015 when I was 6 to 8 and I knew I had to have. I got a Wii U for Christmas 2014 when I was 7 with 3D World and Nintendo Land and got Captain Toad shortly after, but I knew I had to have Pikmin 3 so I got it probably around the spring/summer of 2015 at the age of 7 or 8 and I LOVED it. By the time I was 10 to 11 and got a Switch I was really hoping for Pikmin 4, fortunately we got Pikmin 4 by the time I had just turned 16 and I loved playing it, a destiny finally fulfilled after all these years.
I was perfectly content to pass on this game and now I'm about to hit the download demo button... Thanks a lot 😅
Do it!! Well worth playing
this game is astoundingly good, one of the most addictive games I've played in years. literally couldn't put it down my first day playing.
I like how the community was starving for 10 years waiting for pikmin 4, but! you say nobody ASKED!!!
DON'T REPLY
Yea... Arlo got me interested in Pikmin and led me to buy Pikmin 4........ I owe him big time
This title is a lie every Pikmin fan was asking for it
I had Pikmin 3 on my Wii U and it was by far one of my favorite games on that system.
When I got my switch on release day I gave my Wii U to my bestie. The only game I missed was Pikmin 3. The deluxe version gave me hope that Pikmin 4 was still coming. I put over 600 hours into deluxe and now I’m over 100 hours playing Pikmin 4. I’m so happy about the return of this series after so long and the response it has gotten.
I actually played the demo today and was blown away and having so much fun. I was curious to hear your thoughts, and can see 4 purchases in my future. Never thought I would like this game but I was dead wrong.. It’s so addictive, and chill…
You've convinced me to try out the demo 😅
Yup getting the game now. Thanks Wood.
The editor in 60 seconds encapsulated it perfectly imo. 2 is my favorite with its difficulty and treasure/cave systems so 4 is a blast to play, but that auto lock on was a baffling oversight that should have been a toggle thing in options. Doesnt ruin the game but it can really screw you over in dandori challenges or when youre trying to hit a guy but the reticle would rather focus on a corpse.
And i know hitting zr twice will switch targets, but even that isnt perfect. I think 3 had the best targetting system between the 4 games. Personally, I'd probably say this is my least favorite of the 3 ive played (never played 1 and honestly dont really care to), but its still a damn fun game.
It was manageable most of the game, but a few cases where you want to drag an item, but your pikmin would rather go fight a nearby enemy made me lose too many sage challenges. Advanced players/situations need advanced options
@@thomasreese2816 exactly. I lost one challenge because I threw 12 pikmin at a 12 weight treasure, but a nearby corpse got 2 of the pikmin's attention so neither of them got back which would have let me won. I was pissed😂. Luckily I've gotten fast enough to get everything gold outside of the sage trials which Im not doing because my sanity isnt worth that, and the last dandori battle against louie.
Though speaking of dandori battles, hate how they split my screen in half because it makes it hard to see stuff and where he is. I get they want me to watch what he's doing too, but i don't need a split screen for that I can just monitor him😂. Another toggle thing there would be good for just "want split screen or full screen".
You don't care to play Pikmin 1? That is the greatest blasphemy.
2 is so much better, but nothing will give you the feeling and vibes that 1 did. Every Pikmin is very much its own game, but 1 stands out. It's not about treasure, and there is a strict 30 day time limit. This can put people off, but it's not as much of a challenge as you would think it is.
@@youtubesucks1821 with how quick I can beat 2 and 3 I'm sure I could beat 1 pretty quick, I just don't feel like dropping $30 on it rn tbh. 2 I definitely wanted to try because I liked the idea of the caves, and 3 just came out first on switch. I'll probably play it down the line, just not anytime soon.
@@darcidious99 That is waaay too much money for those games, absolutely.
And there is no denying 2 is the better game. There is a reason they never brought back the time limit and did bring back collecting treasure.
Also, I always feel very bad seeing a Pikmin die. 😞 It’s like, the moment I lose one, I just rewind time immediately lol ⏪
The thumbnail for this video is why I love watching your videos!! I aspire to be as good as you someday when reviewing games and editing my video. The way you describe games are somehow the same as playing a game. you really know how to suck me into another dimension while explaining these games and it is always a joy to see a video come out from you! shout out to Zac your editor as well!
"The Nintendo Switch Game Nobody Asked" is the most incorrect statement ive heard
I've always kinda been scared of the time crunch in pikmin, so I never picked it up. But I know we have an old copy of 1 lying around and now I must admit I'm tempted to try it... 🤔
Out of all the pikmin games I wouldnt be looking to dig out the og pikmin 1 if ur looking to NOT be time management stressed out. If u have the switch id definitely recommend going and picking up pikmin 3 deluxe. I got it recently and beat it (I don't beat video games really so that's to tell u it should be more of a relaxing pikmin experience!) Shortly after picking up my copy of pikmin 4. However I believe 3 deluxe still definitely has more playability to go thro cuz theres side missions and themed objective missions u can go do thats not the story or if it is the story u can restart ur days if u wanna try and do it better or differently say u wanna get all the fruits collected u can redo days so ur trying to max complete the areas of the story. Also... Not only can u redo the day BUT u collect fruit to bring back home but also to live while exploring the planet and 3 deluxe is super relaxing cuz u end up getting SO MUCH fruit u dont have to even worry about ur fruit/food reserves getting scarcely low and the graphics are beautiful definitely recommend 3 deluxe. 👌😇
I've always had a very passing interest in pikmin. Played a little of 3 on Wii U but never got big into it. But man, i'm loving 4. I'm like 14 hours in and having a blast.
Got this game for my fiancé as a stocking stuffer, it might literally become her favorite game she owns
i know the video was speaking well about pikmin but you gotta stop baiting people with controversial titles
So many people asked for Pikmin 4
I had never even played a Pikmin game before Pikmin 4, and I can tell you, it has become my favorite game series in such a short time, now I'm playing through all of them and it's actually hecking fun, I kinda regret not getting into it sooner
The spider on the camera literally just said don't worry man. I got you. I'll get the spider out of your hair 😂
I was kinda unsure to pick pikmin up or not, but after your review, I will check the demo and maybe buy it at a discount. This game seems like a chill time killer for a long road trip or a plane flight
More Zach reviews please! ❤
But loved this video as always 😊 It’s nice to see reviews where you weren’t sure about it and what you thought about it as you played!
"no one asked for" BOI THERE'S A WHOLE COMMUNITY OF THOSANDS WHO WANTED IT BACK IN THE WIIU ERA!!!
While I don't know if I can call this Pikmin title my favorite one out of the bunch it easily COULD be if they patched a few things: Have an option to turn off auto lock on so its more like the pikmin 1-3 cursor, give the game an actual co-op mode like pikmin 3 deluxe, and a harder difficulty setting for the veterans. They improved this game so much from the previous ones, but the small things they did that hindered my experience where basically all the things I enjoyed about the past titles.
Hello, I've never played any of the Pikmin games. I played the Pikmin 3 demo for the first time, then the Pikmin 4 demo and .... I bought a Pikmin 4 box and loved it. I am currently playing with my daughter because she also has a nintendo switch. We are both enchanted by Pikmins.🥰
I love that Zack got a cameo to do his own review!
Played every Pikmin game. Was my childhood favourite and i bought 4 on the first day of release. I do prefer the bosses in 3 but this was an amazing game. Won a game award too!!
Great video, Wood! I’ve been a huge Pikmin fan since the original! Shame we didn’t grow up knowing more people who liked it 😅 HERE’S TO THE NEW GENERATION OF PIKMIN PLAYERS!
When I first saw Pikmin in a Nintendo magazine back when I was probably around 11 or 12 I was interested. When I played it I loved it but I haven't played a Pikmin since the Gamecube but you might just get me back to playing it
Excuse me? Maybe its a reference to a moment in the vid or something but we've been asking for 10 YEARS (or around that, can't remember exactly what year pikmin 3 came out) for pikmin 4, it was definitely asked for
And that was the last time we saw wood as he was attacked by the spider 🤣🤣
I am ALMOST finished completing Pikmin 4 and I freaking love it!
Got to love the clickbait, rage bait title despite the video containing mostly positive things... Also the title is just false. Everyone in the pikmin fandom wanted this.
Imagine doing this video in your old state of Texas right now. I’m jealous of that weather up there.
It's a Miyamoto game, everyone should check out the demo and see if it's for them. It's my personal all-time favorite, there's nothing else like it.
As being a person who has played pikmim before it is kind of like elden ring
Have you watched the video "Pikmin Hybrids"? Pikmin fans are talking about that video.
(Don't forget about the special offer the creator left in the description.)
“The game nobody asked for.”
No, everyone was asking for pikmin 4.
Love the zack review btw... I'm buying this game, I watch a playthrough and was a treat...
never thought i'd hear pikmin and metroidvania in the same sentance
The best part of Pikmin 4 is Olimar's tale and the challenge that offers King's cave and all platinum sage leaf.
If it wasn't for Olimar's tale, I would find hard to choose between 1 and 4.
14:25 this WHOLE video I was thinking ”I hope a spider doesn’t crawl on wood while laying on the ground” and then 🤣
3:00 “there’s the pink one”
“We don’t talk about the pink one”
“PIKMIN 4! As fun as seeing an old person fall over is funny”
- Wood Hawker
I can’t get over how much I love it when he mentions Arlo
I really did like Pikmin 3, but felt like it was a little short. This game makes up for that, and Oatchi totally makes the game for me. And the Dandori battles are so fun! I do agree that the night battles are a little mid, but now I kind of hope if there is a Pikmin 5 they will expand on that aspect and make something really fun with it. I haven’t had the opportunity to play anything co-op but this is a fine single player game without that.
He gave a review on a game that he decided to skip the story on. He sometimes does the same thing in TOTK and makes the game so much harder than it needs to be for someone of his skill. Nothing is more hilarious than hearing someone say, "Easy game, baby game," and then get bodied.
I can't believe I didn't jump into Pikmin until this one started getting marketed. I played 1 and 2 in the month leading up to Pikmin 4 release and I'm astounded at how right up my alley these games are and that I never gave them a shot despite playing almost every other Nintendo franchise religiously since the N64.
Pikmin 3 Deluxe is the first and only Pikmin game I've played. I'm keen to pick up 4 but after TotK....still making my way through that
People have been asking for this game for 10 year's, are you living under a rock?
Waiting on the Pikmin 1&2 physical to arrive to replay the other 2.
This game is SO MUCH FUN! I e benw a huge fan since the beginning but never got to play the games till Pikmin 3. I live the music, map, characters, customization is amazing, the caves and challeges. Ive played a ton of it and loving that even after 2 weeks im not done yet. Pikmin 3 and 1 were short games, glad they have something got every fan.
I do hope they add in a harder difficulty mode (more enemies, harder to kill, less pikmin you get, idk etc). The dandori battles are so much fun. I wish they had online battles.
Yes, this is the coziest eldritch horror series ever 🤫
2 player in pikmin reminds me of the original Mario Galaxy 2 player
