I was never able to understand the appeal of Pikmin, until I actually played it. I don't think you can ever fully "get" this series until you just dive in for yourself. But now I totally get it, this game is so immersive and atmospheric while having fantastic strategic gameplay as well. I'm still relatively new to Pikmin overall and I'm a pretty casual fan as well, but man it's impossible to not love this game. Despite being really great games, none of the sequels have managed to capture quite the same vibes. (But oh boy is it frustrating sometimes lol)
Which of the main 4 have you played? I love that they’re all on switch
@@moneykenny119 I've actually played them all now, I played 1-3 on my Wii U in the lead up to 4
Same! I didn’t get it until I played the Pikmin 3 demo on my Switch. Now I love it
I think most video games, unless you have prior experiences, are only properly judged by playing them.
I love all the games my favs are 2 and 3 but i get you haha
I binged all the pikmin games last year with the switch releases. What a special game series
I will forever be grateful for New Play Control. If not for that, I would have never discovered my favorite video game series of all time. There's nothing quite like playing Pikmin with the Wii's motion controls...
I find my appreciation for this game growing exponentially over time, to the point that I may even like it more than Pikmin 4. You did a great job explaining its appeal, along with some of the less obvious stuff that makes it such a fantastic game. Also, that xenoblade bit genuinely got a chuckle out of me lmao
I want a game where the main collectible is “building materials,” and over the course of the game you build out a home base, and depending on what you choose to collect and build, you increase your stats and abilities…
and also, have the home base be up on a hill overlooking each area you can explore… and maybe the areas are actually interconnected?
Found chuggaa's LP of Pikmin 3 some years ago and really liked what I saw. I never picked it up, but when Pikmin 1+2 dropped, I sunk quite a few hours into it. Im kinda mixed on it, now that Ive actually played them, I feel like I prefer watching people play them more than I actually like playing it
TH-cam has started showing me small, but quality channels of late. I'm happy to add you to my sub list. Good work fam!
TH-cam knows us better than we know ourselves.
I've played Pikmin 1 many times and I don't think I've ever seen them get crushed under the terrain. This is the first in hearing about it
12:41 - *AHHHHH! It's the Maniac!*
_Take him away, take him away!_
Calm down son, it’s just a drawing
I just finished your mother series. I’m working my way through your reviews. MAN what a solid writing style you have! You keep things simple, informative, and engaging. Thank you for all these. You have this KingK/SomeCallMeJohnny hybrid style and I’m here for it. Thanks for making these!
incredible video, man! i couldn’t have described this game’s brilliance myself.
now i have absolutely NO EXCUSE to move this game from my top 3 favourites.
Best notification of my life
My goat has returned
time for some tasty goat milk 🐐🥛🤙
Keep up the the great work man! I can’t wait for you to talk about the smash bros series and 3D Mario series! Would you ever do the 3D Sonic’s PG? :)
I'd consider it if I ever came up with an idea I like for 3D Sonic content. I'd like to talk about Generations in some capacity, and the Adventure games.
@@PGReviews_ I’m a Dreamcast and Classic era Sonic fan so it be amazing if you talked about the adventure titles especially! Your Wind Waker review was inspiring to me man I loved how you talk about your own personal history with the game in question by the way, I do that for my own reviews I do through my own website, and it’s not something people do on TH-cam now a days so keep that intact for your reviews! :) always here to support
Oh gods the Territorial Rotbart got me good tho
This was my first game I got for a home console. It's a true masterpiece, a rare 10/10 game. It should be required playing for anyone who considers themselves a nintendo fan. Seeing the improvements to the Dolphin was so satisfying, and something that the Pikmin series has yet to recapture.
I love Pikmin the first game will always hold a special place in my heart It's my favorite game in the series.
So happy the profile of this series has only grown since the release of Pikmin 3 Deluxe and has finally hit its stride with the release of Pikmin 4, hope we get more Pikmin in the future!
Dude, your videos are awesome!
Thanks!
Yay pikmin!
I always loved watching Chuggaaconroy's let's plays of Pikmin. It wasnt until the Pkmin 1+2 port came out on the Switch that i got to play it. Definitely a great game.
Amazing review damn
Aaaaaaand… subscribed
Honestly, the wii remote is helpful in pikmin, soo much that i started playing pikmin 3 with the remote.
I rented Pikmin close to release from Blockbuster. After 20 min I knew that when I returned it at the end of the weekend I was buying it. I used my saved cash to buy it and never sold it. Very special experience.
So I do wanna say I like the video but when it came to mario 128 there's only one interview that ever stated the dev team was inspired by the demo which was the interview of Miyamoto saying the demo aspect carried to other games. However with that interview that was the only one I ever could find with Miyamoto mentioning that ever being the case. While all the other interviews out there have shown the dev team apparently didn't even know about the demo and a lot of the ideas for the game was already decided way before the demo was ever shown. Another thing as well when it comes to the Pikmin 1 and 2 on switch. It's supposed to resemble the Japanese box art for both games. Which yeah I agree it's not very good.
I just meant that the same tech was likely used for both projects, not that Mario 128 had a direct influence on the ideas for Pikmin :)
Drat of course this comes out right after I made mine
19:28 the last of us ???
How did you get the olimar trophy? I thought you needed pikmin to do it
I had a hand-me-down memory card with a Pikmin save file on it if I remember correctly.
@@PGReviews_ thanks
Second😭
i had severe buyer's remorse when i played wii play control, because i had already played the gamecube version and i didn't consider the fact that i was left-handed, making the new control scheme feel alien and backwards. no gcn controller support either. i never felt so ripped off by a $60 rerelease
