Why Pikmin 4 Matters

With the surprise announcement of Pikmin 4 nearly being completed, it's left the community divided with some supporting its existence, while others thinking it would be better if another franchise got a chance to shine. However, is it really all that bad?

Waste of resources IMO. If you're going to spend money making a niche product then just give us the Metroid game we all want.

Concertoine3149d ago

Those are two totally different studios making Metroid and Pikmin...

_-EDMIX-_3148d ago

Agreed lol. Why do folks think Nintendo is 1 big development team? lol OR any other publisher for that matter? I've read sooooo many "EA's games " or "Ubisoft's games" ignoring that lots of their comparisons are buy different teams in that publisher.

Locknuts3148d ago

But Miyamoto produced Metroid Prime and it's my favourite game of all time. I bet he's too heavily involved in Pikmin to produce another Metroid title. It doesn't matter which team is involved if there's a genius in charge of the project. Unfortunately his genius doesn't do anything to make Pikmin a better series though.

@Locknuts
make Metroid Prime. The director was Mark Pacini, and Miyamoto was just one of the many producers.

Outside of his own projects, Miyamoto really just provides creative input. So when a Metroid game is in the works, he'll be sure to have some ideas for it, but those aren't projects he's entirely devoted to making.

Million sellers are still considered niche?

Neither Pikmin nor Metroid is niche. They're not mega blockbusters but certainly not niche.

And I want Pikmin 4 just as bad as I want Metroid. And you would too if you knew what was good!

Locknuts3149d ago

I don't care what you think is good. I want Metroid.

Compared to Mario and Zelda, they are niche.

Concertoine3148d ago

Yeah Miyamoto produced ONE Metroid game out of like 8. He is not the series producer, Sakamoto and Tanabe are.

Miyamoto only produced Prime 1 because he found the perfect studio to make it and no one else could see this but him. Unless he sees another opportunity like this, why bother soiling the series further with another uninspired game?

Big_Game_Hunters3148d ago

Because its a damn good series.

LOL_WUT3148d ago

Yet, has sold poorly not sure why it warrants another sequel. ;)

Big_Game_Hunters3148d ago

I can't imagine the pikmin games are that expensive to make. pLus i'm pretty sure Miyamoto gets to do whatever he wants.

Here's an article on Miyamoto talking about how Pikmin could benefit from 4k resolutions.

Many people think that Miyamoto would steer the company into a more of the same direction, but his comments on wanting Nintendo to arrive in the HD Era much sooner than the WiiU kind of proves that he gets where Nintendo needs to be.

Wii U games that still haven't been ported to Switch

The Nintendo Switch is potentially nearing its lifespan, and several Wii U games haven't found their way over as ports yet.

I think it's better to leave games like AC: Amiibo Festival and Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash forgotten on the Wii U. Best case, they are mediocre games; worse case, they are very bad. It was a dark time for the Wii U, and the first only exists to sell Amiibo cards, whereas the second was put together in a couple of months with a shoestring budget, and it shows.

The rest of the list does have some really cool games, though. I would love to see a remake of Star Fox Zero with decent controls, and Xenoblade X doesn't require that much modification to work.

How would XCX work without dual screens functionality?

Cacabunga4d ago

Same as Paper Mario color splash. One of the best wiiu games and getting even better with dual screen. Same reason why i prefer Splatoon 1

Profchaos4d ago

This article leaves out Nintendo's most controversial game to date devils Third.
I personally found the cover system really fun in that one compared to at the time most fps games completely lacking one.

Stevonidas4d ago

Devil's Third is HIGHLY underrated.

repsahj4d ago

They should remake Starfox to the switch 2. Very beautiful game during gamecube days.

Chocoburger4d ago

Kirby is always ignored or forgotten by people, so good to see it mentioned here.
Play Kirby Canvas Curse on DS, and then play Rainbow Curse on Wii U, they're really fun and unique 'platformers' without any actual jumping.
