While Captain Olimar, a tiny extraterrestrial from the planet Hocotate, was taking an intergalactic vacation in outer space with his spaceship, the S.S. Dolphin, the spaceship later gets hit by a comet ! and then he crashed on a nearby planet. And now Captain Olimar, being stuck on a planet that contains a deadly element for his kind, must retrieve many of the spaceship parts so that he can rebuild his spaceship and return to Hocotate in 30 days before his life support systems run out !... and he does this with the help of some strange creatures that Captain Olimar named them "pikmin"...
Nintendo is currently working on a new spin off based on its real-time strategy and puzzle game series, Pikmin, based on the latest rumor.
Hopefully they focus on Pikmin 4 DLC instead. That game introduced tons of interesting mechanics that deserve extra levels and bosses.
I hope for some Pikmin 4 DLC too.. to be honest, they could even make the second player somehow to work (not talking about that extra mode).. but they could make that you can control the dog at least, even if it's on the same screen in story mode
Following a surprise reveal last week, GoodSmile Company formally revealed their Pikmin Nendoroid. - IS
Nintendo considers its real-time strategy series, Pikmin, a flagship IP, based on the latest details from its recent shareholder meeting.
I like the concept of this game but it really gets boring in the long run. Nintendos flagship could be F-Zero, they really need to bring it back
I’d prefer a StarFox spin off like the GameCube Adventure games. I found them to be fun despite being different to the main core games.

I'd love a new Star Fox game done in a similar format to Starlink, but with a better story and better enemy variety.
Every subsequent F-Zero sold worse than the prior.
If it's a flagship title, I think the flag will sink with the ship.
I love Pkimin 4, but wish they'd lean more into the rts aspects of the game. Would be interesting if you were using pikmin to gather resources and building stuff. Wouldn't mind if it strayed a iittle bit away from the cozy game territory. Atleast in spin-off.
The "next gen console update" part of this is so clickbaity. The Nintendo president offered an update that they have nothing to update us on.
I'm all in for a new Nintendo generation if they can give us
New smash
New Mario party
New Metroid
New Zelda both in 3d and 2d
New starfox
New IP
New and better pokemon game that really advances the IP
So you want all new Nintendo games from every franchise lol
Not making fun but it's like every major franchise, minus Mario for some reason?
I live in Japan and Pikmin 4 did surprisingly well. Tons of collaborations and marketing. Even now they play ads on the trains.
One of my favorite franchises ♥️
Its a pretty fun title. I picked this game up in pristine condition not too long ago, as I missed out on this little gem during the gamecube's life, but I am enjoying it very much. The time limit does add a bit of pressure, and can make missions feel a little short, if you don't know what you are doing, but I kinda like the time limit now; it brings a sense of urgency and really makes you think about your priorities carefully.
I also enjoy the set length this game has as it has a definite end that is guaranteed, and makes playtesting it for a future playthrough that much easier.
Overall for my first dip into RTS games, this title was pretty neat. Great atmosphere and music, engaging and overall intuitive approach to the genre.
