Really interesting seeing the perspective of somebody who prefers the Wii version. The cursor controls are wayyyy better, but I find myself preferring the Gamecube version because I like controlling the Pikmin with the C-stick, and I find it easier to mash the A button without having the cursor vibrate all over the place. Also I had no idea you could pluck them with the whistle at one point, wow
I love this series. Since I was little I'd start trying to play through the games without any deaths and now there's no other way to play the games for me. This is not a series for people who only play games once, though. Those are the people that complain the games are too short.
@@sonicwontletmeleave honstly I would probably argue with that but I can see why people think pikmin is better than Kirby but I'm still kirby for life.
I really hope there's gonna be a collab with Chuggaaconroy because not only did Emile mention he knew Antdude, a lot of people first learned about Pikmin from Emile.
There was a time where Emile got him for his 1st Earthbound Let's Play at one time. Lets just say when you have a guy who doesn't like the game very much co commentating in 2008 quality it wasn't a great episode.
I remember playing Pikmin 2’s multiplayer through a GameCube copy on my Wii from a rental store. (The only GameCube game I played until I started collecting) My brother and I had the time of our lives. We had it for five days and just loved it. We still occasionally bring it up in conversation because we remember how fun the game really was. Really want to go back and play it again.
Pikmin 3 port? Well considering that the Gamepad is used heavily in the game as a live map and for the “Go Here” function IDK. Also what would the controls be like? Would it revert to the GameCube/ Pro Controller style controls or would they reused the Gyro Pointer from Captain Toad to replicate the Wii Remote Controls? Also what about the Gamepad Touch Controls, would they be exclusive to handheld mode? In short Pikmin 3 would need a hell of a lot of tweaking in order though be realistically playable on the Switch.
@@Network1245_Productions It'd be worth the tweaking to be honest, alongside some extra singleplayer content as Olimar to play out the events of him landing to find more treasure leading up to his capture, and perhaps even a campaign Co-op feature as well?
How about a pikmin HD trilogy for mid 2019 and pikmin 4 as a 2020 release? Id be down for that, id love to play pikmin 2 again with the updated graphics
Back when I was a Miiverse pseudo-celebrity I had this pikmin OC which was all of the pikmin combined with the wings of Flandre from Touhou 6. I disowned it when Miiverse had shut down.
2:15 It's not a meteor it's a asteroid, then it survives a crash on a planet it changes it term name to meteor, and when they enter orbit and break they are refered to as meteorites.
I personally prefer the gamecube version The left stick doesn't control Olimar, it controls the cursor, and the cursor can only go a set distance from Olimar, when you reach that distance, the cursor will begin pulling Olimar along behind it
@@iverson64_ I couldn't agree more. Actually, most of the time my older brother wants it clean and I have to go through emotionally traumatic experiences with him harassing me just so I can do a good job of rearranging the shoes! Ain't that fun?
What I love about the first game is that it really makes you feel the isolation and the tension of be on an alien planet all alone and with little time to make things right... I think the later games are a little more serene and relaxing.
Listen up dude when you get to pikmin 3 you have to spend at least half of the vid talking about mission mode & dlc mission mode is the one and only thing that makes pikmin 3 better than all the other games. You should think of mission mode as the primary game mode instead of story mode. It’s such an intense and rewarding experience. story mode may be a lot of fun the first time you play it. but mission mode will have you come back time and time again trying to get the platinum medals. And on top of that mission mode is co-op. this is what makes pikmin 3 my favourite game of all time. Everyone should buy the mission mode dlc because pikmin 3 is a Nintendo selects title. Please give mission mode the attention it deserves. And if this comment inspires you could you please like it so I know
10:28 The reason why Smoky Progg looks unfinished is because the Pikmin opened its egg early, forcing it to hatch incomplete/early (I guess it finishes developing on Day 15, as to why it only appears before then)
actually according to the pikmin 1 manual: the reason why Captain Olimar did not intercept the incoming meteor from the beginning of the game with the Nova Blaster is because the route he was flying through was usually a safe one, therefore he had put the S.S. Dolphin on auto-pilot to get some tea, and failed to notice the meteor.
@@Network1245_Productions I gotta hate that video it's like it's OK Hey to make a 2D game with 3D game obviously a fan of Metroid prime and a hypocrite
ymmot392... That was another UA-cam era, he was the greatest Pikmin fan. He was an admin at the Pikmin Wiki and also did an entire webseries based on Pikmin, "The Pikmin DS Adventures".
So by calculating the total duration of 30 in-game days to minutes, you have exactly 390 minutes or 6.5 hours to beat the game. I’m definitely a massive nerd.
There are actually people out there that main Olimar, and in Brawl and Ultimate he's actually quite good. The main problem being is like Pikmin, he takes a lot of micromanaging, but if you learn to play him a good Olimar player is really good.
I love this series for its premise and the many things under that, my favorite pikmin out of all of them are the Yellow and Purple ones, which just so happen to be complementary colors to each other.
My opinion on every game in the Pikmin franchise : -Pikmin : never played -Pikmin 2 : my fifth favorite game of all time -Pikmin 3 : too storydriven but still great -Hey Pikmin : I expect nothing, and I'm still let down
@@isthisboostedmode6106 Pikmin 3 is waaay too dirigist for me, the game constantly tells you "hey, follow the signal and go up that tree" and this annoys me, the progression always gets halted by a plot point, JUST LET ME SEARCH FOR FRUITS !
6:58 Hey howdy I'm a Pikmin hacker and I discovered a way to re-enable the pluckaphone in Pikmin 1. I have a clip of it on my channel if you wanna see.
Thanks for finally reviewing pikmin. This is my favorite franchise of all time, and olimarch sounds great! (the rest is just trivia and answers to the questions in the video) The mamuta (muscular grey guy) isn't threatening since it just wants a flower garden. The goolix(the blobby miniboss) is an amoeba and the part you attack is the heart, while the other part is the brain. The smoky progg is a larval mamuta that is unfinished since you made it hatch in its developmental stages. I prefer the gamecube controls since they are so simple that you could play the game with an NES controller if you used that setup. I have always believed that olimar breathes carbon dioxide, as it is an opposite to oxygen. If you skip the optional parts, olimar goes home, but is broke and it isn't as good for him.
Also, pikmin could have had HP bars, been the size of cats, been cavemen, been black with RNG dependent body types, and a lot more. There was also a boss that hopped around with a pikmin leg in its mouth, but it was scrapped due to it being too gruesome for an E rated game. Also, pikmin takes place on earth within a few years of nuclear radiation killing off the world population. The geiger counter (which olimar doesn't understand but likes the sound it makes) shows high levels of nuclear activity. Also, pikmin are an inch tall. Finally, Olimar is from hocotate, named after Miyamoto's address in kyoto, and it looks like saturn, while koppai, named after nintendo's first name: nintendo koppai, looks like uranus while the inhabitants eat fruit and hocotatians eat vegetables on top of that. (also, they call earth PNF-404)
I almost forgot. Miyamoto removed the whistle plucking since it was "unrealistic" and said it would sap fun from the game. He used the analogy that "in mario, you have to hit the question block 10 times if you want 10 coins, you don't hold A for more rewards... Whenever a tester asked for the whistle pluck, I would say that they had to 'punch a lot of blocks to get a lot of coins'." Also, if you don't want to punch a lot of blocks, it's a power in pikmin 2's shower room dungeon. you're welcome. =)
AntDude, I have to say to you. Thank you, you made me play the game and like It, I was scared when I never played Pikmin, but when I saw your Pikmin marathon you made me think about actually play the game. Thank you so much and know I know what I've been missing ♥️. (And now know a Brazilian kid loves you)
@@olivius8891 maybe one is the parasite pikmin in their true from and another is a new one. (I haven't played pikmin 1 in forever forgive me for lack of knoweldge)
Thank you so much for covering this series! This is one of my favorite Nintendo series and I feel it is very underrated! Funny thing is, I started with the GC version of the game, and have nostalgia for it, but I agree with you that the Wii version of both Pikmin 1 and 2 are the superior versions of these games, they just feel so much more natural! I have nearly perfected a no death run of Pikmin 2 Wii, the least amount of Pikmin I've lost is 5, to the second encounter with the Empress Bulblax and her stupid babies, my most hated boss in the entire game. Even the third enounter with the Empress Bulblax is, in my opinion, easier, as there is less time for her to pop out a large group of Bulborb Larva, despite there being less room to escape from her.
Really interesting seeing the perspective of somebody who prefers the Wii version. The cursor controls are wayyyy better, but I find myself preferring the Gamecube version because I like controlling the Pikmin with the C-stick, and I find it easier to mash the A button without having the cursor vibrate all over the place.

AntDude, I have to say to you. Thank you, you made me play the game and like It, I was scared when I never played Pikmin, but when I saw your Pikmin marathon you made me think about actually play the game. Thank you so much and know I know what I've been missing ♥️.
(And now know a Brazilian kid loves you)
You call yellows troopers?
Have you heard the legend of the heroic Steve?
Is that a Chuggaconroy reference
PopTobi 13 no it isn’t not at all
Bran Bow surrrrrreeeee it isn’t
13:47. Soo.. The pikmin turned olimar into a pikmin?
ONE OF US ONE OF US ONE OF US ONE OF US
Bennett Hobbitt well, olimar is dead
Bennett Hobbitt well, olimar dies in the bad ending
Is no-one going to talk about that animal skull? 14:43-14:53
oh, wow, what a surprise, a post-apocalyptic earth has the remaints of dead creatures on it.
lmao
4 Pikmin videos for Olimarch? Hell yeah!
What about the unknown onions on the best ending?
WAIT WHAT
Maybe other pikmin not in the first one like purple and rock
@@joeybebeau2634 but there are cyan and green ones as well.
@@olivius8891 maybe one is the parasite pikmin in their true from and another is a new one. (I haven't played pikmin 1 in forever forgive me for lack of knoweldge)
Little did he know pikmin deluxe would exist about a year later
Hopefully, this man will check out something like Miitopia or Fire Emblem.
You also forgot to mention the audio glitches for the Bulborbs that are exclusive to the Wii version for some reason.
Such a weird series
Thank you so much for covering this series! This is one of my favorite Nintendo series and I feel it is very underrated! Funny thing is, I started with the GC version of the game, and have nostalgia for it, but I agree with you that the Wii version of both Pikmin 1 and 2 are the superior versions of these games, they just feel so much more natural! I have nearly perfected a no death run of Pikmin 2 Wii, the least amount of Pikmin I've lost is 5, to the second encounter with the Empress Bulblax and her stupid babies, my most hated boss in the entire game. Even the third enounter with the Empress Bulblax is, in my opinion, easier, as there is less time for her to pop out a large group of Bulborb Larva, despite there being less room to escape from her.
What I don't get is, with all the Wii U games that have already been ported to the Switch, why Nintendo haven't just ported over Pikimin 3?
Remaining wii u exclusives that need a switch port
Pikmin 3
Wonderful 101
Tokyo mirage sessions FE
@@Lightmagician60 you forgot star fox zero.
Lightmagician60 wonderful 101 was great would love to see a port!
Yakool boy do I have news for you
"they plant Olimar"
oh jesus, that's actually horrifying. That's straight out of an indie horror film
This is obligatory for you but i'm gonna say it any way:
DO A VIDEO FOR KIRBY'S EXTRA EPIC YARN!!!
You can't bring up Pikmin without bringing up the Waterwraith . . . . .
. . . . And the guy who just HAD to open his mouth about it . . . . .
Do Pikmin 2-e for the E-Reader and Pikmin Adventures on Nintendo Land on the Wii U
Pikmin Adventures is honestly pretty fun.
I miss Nintendo Land
A Pikmin month!?!? Awesome! It definitely helps the wait for a new installment in my favorite series of video game!
