if you want to join the fun it only cost $40 dollars to advertise on that specific square, enjoy your undeserved powers! though i suggest you save your money and wait to buy pikmin 4 then we can falsly advertise pikmin 5 HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA!
Real question is how Nintendo feels about this. On one hand: unauthorised used of copyrighted characters. on the other: fans are the ones paying which means Nintendo has only gains to be made from these.
Considering how Pikmin 4 semls I'm pretty sure that Nintendo are proud lol also the Devs said that they hope they won't make anyone wait fpr Pikmin 5 I think theu learned the lesson lol

I haven't seen anyone use the clip from the Pikmin shorts where Olimar cuts up and juices a normal Pikpik carrot in plain view of several freaked out Pikmin. The way it's framed as a slasher flick scene -- and that it was made by Nintendo themselves and not some insane fanimation -- would have been perfect fodder for a shitpost. Or perhaps someone tried, and the TSX screeners axed it before it aired. Very sad.

This is my favourite comment on anything ever
This is what 10 years with no new games does to a MFer
The fzero fanbase or what’s left of it is gonna go ballistic when the next game is announced if it ever comes
This 100% feels like something only Pikmin fans would come up with. It’s so beautiful it would make a grown man cry.
The funniest thing is, I have no idea whether this will positively or negatively affect sales
It’s actually boosting sales no joke I think pikmin 4 is one of the most bought games on Amazon rn (I think. Or was it both pikmin 1 and 2?)
400k physical sales in Japan alone for just it’s first week says that it worked. That means it’s probably at several million already, which for a pikmin game is absolutely ridiculous.
All I can say is Pikmin Fans *DO NOT* want to lose their franchise again
This is the best thing I’ve ever seen a community do and god am I glad to be a part of it.
Same
Same (2),
i don’t know what pikmin is, but if the community literally advertises on a huge screen in times square to spread the word, it must be a good game.
Fans have been waiting 10 years since the third mainline game so, we're all a little pent up.
Absolutely epic gamer moment here
The way I've actually seen people become interested in the game by these ads
the pikmin 4 brainrot claims more souls
The fact it's actually getting me interested in buying the game...
I’ve never played a pikmin game and I will be buying the new one because of these😂

Words can not describe how much I love this fandom.
Pikmin fanbase sleeping well knowing they're the best fanbase the world has to offer
Pikmin 4 needs a built-in meme creator for real. Or a sandbox mode.
Oatchi is gonna generate a lot of memes by himself ( herself? )
They refer to Oatchi as a boy!
You might be thinking of Moss, Olimar’s dog, who he refers to as a girl
There is a drone you can use to take pictures, somewhat like Smash and Mario Odyssey

Seeing this shows me world peace is possible
I have never been interested in pikmin before. But now I'm genuinely interested and I will buy pikmin 4 on July 21st
This feels like one of those records of humanity put on satellites/probes in case aliens find them, except it's for exposing Pikmin to the mass public
I've never played pikmin before. I am bying pikmin 3 just because of these amazing ads
buy 1&2 pikmin hd
Need one ad with the President himself, he deserves it.
Abso-frickin'-lutely
I was already going to buy Pikmin 4 when it came out but this shit made me Preorder it
The “I am in extreme debt” killed me
Delfino Square must be mad jealous right now
When you get into massive debt after your freight was eaten by your subordinate (it's just like Pikmin 2!!!!):
I Never been more proud of being a pikmin fan

Now we only need that the Mother, Fzero and Star Fox fanbase starts doing this type of thing too
The Mario fans might do this considering how long it took for Super Mario bros. wonder Tonne announced.
Pikmin has invaded real life New York City, the once great city has fallen to the threat of both Plant ants and Canadian fires!
I don't know why, but theres genuinely something so hilarious about the ads, and it got me giggling like a child.
this will always be remembered as a beautiful thing that happened when pikmin fans united
The fact that you only need 40 dollars to put up an ad is awesome.

You just had to be there when Olimar was twerking

Cannot wait. This is after my visit at the Imaging Group for my thyroid exam. 😊
Im not even a pikmin fan but god fucking damn it now i want to be
I sure hope all of our hard work effort and stuff made ppl wannna purchase their game with mommy’s munny! 👌👌🥶🥶🥵🥵🔥🔥🗣️🗣️
I choose to believe that our times square raid boosted pikmin 4 sales
"I am in extreme debt and will soon be homeless."
I was about rofl
„I am in extreme debt and will soon be homeless“ - that was my favourite part of these really funny and lovable ads. Great work, guys! ☺️
We needed that, honestly
Imagine nintendo seeing these 😂
100 pikmillion copies of pikmin 4 sold. Big ups Captain Olimar.
It's all fun and games until we get a message that says "You can now play as Steve (red pikman icon)"
This makes me want to buy the game.
Do it.
July 21st is officially Pikmin day now!
Hopefully pikmin fans do this for Pikmin 5
The pikmin community is the best community
This is still one of the best things ive seen this year
