This highlight video showcases one of the core appeals of Nico’s channel to me. Because he grew up mostly without Nintendo games, he has _ZERO_ clue or context as to why they’re so memorable, or in some cases, traumatizing
@@JJ_RYES lmao that was a top ten stream. It’s also for that reason that I really want one of his next LPs to focus on the Mario RPG Remake. Judging from the average playtime of the original game, it should only take around 16-19 episodes (I’m accounting for possible extra episodes in case of bonus content in the remake). Besides, what better way to lead up to FF7Rebirth, a remake of a beloved RPG from the 90s that was developed by Square, than with another remake of a beloved RPG from the 90s that was developed by Square? It all seems to align so perfectly. I’m hoping for an LP over a stream because I feel like the LPs really help the game sink in. Also because I prefer YT’s video player over twitch when it comes to rewatching things
Keep in mind that Nico attempted the Submerged Castle at the very end of one of the livestreams, after all the other Perplexing Pool dungeons, and at roughly 3AM in the morning. _Blind_ . His pain is delicious, and his victory is well earned
Nico has now found out only the beginning of Louie's evils... Yes, there are more... A LOT FUCKING MORE Louie truly is one of Grandaddy Nintendo's most evil villains
3:35 Kudos to Brunty023 for giving the Water Wraith the build-up it deserves! 7:43 Fear turns to confidence. 7:54 Confidence turns to righteous rage. 8:09 Righteous rage turns to goofy rage.
6:35 this is the only time I've seen Nico contemplating existence apart from the one Corpse Party game he despised. And there were so many soulcrushing games inbetween. Shouldn't this be a kids game 😂
5:56 I hadn’t seen the livestream but that’s some MAJOR bull right there lol. That was TEN BOMB ROCK RELATED DROPS IN THAT ONE AREA. Nico’s luck can always work in his favor. But sometimes it makes Nico want to suffer as well.
As someone whose only exposure to Pikmin was the Pikmin 3 demo (which I didn't really like), this is absolutely hilarious! I kinda want to give the Pikmin series another chance starting with the first game.
Imo I found the Pikmin 4 demo a lot more enjoyable, mostly because I didn't feel as restrained and a 3's demo had an emphasis on you needing to manage your food supply. I'm still really split on the series because I feel like my stress levels come down to Dandori Issue and I kind of just want a game like Pikmin to be chill exploration but that's apparently just not the game it is.
Update: I just completed Pikmin 1. Overall, I found it to be fairly challenging but that's mostly because of my own careless mistakes. At the end, I was pretty satisfied with my experience though. I'll probably hold off on playing Pikmin 2 for a while since I heard it's pretty hard.
I hope to see you play 3 and 4 as well. I feel like you underutilized the second captian in 2, it seems like you where waiting for obstacles that required two captians, where the game is more about have each captain do their own singular tasks. EX: Having one captain farm berries as you have another watch over a bridge being built or a wall being destroyed. At least Pikmin has far more situations that actual require multiple captains, so you'll get more use of the mechanic next time.
I also loved how partway through he partially focused on using the captains to meatshield the pikmin and instead decimate the wildlife with their bare fists. President Shachou doesn’t PLAY SON
The drums caught me off guard at the start and my brain went "RAYMAN MUSIC?!" Ah... Water Wraith... we know we're in for an unforgettable montage when Brunty is editing. 😁
I’m so happy we got a raw reaction from Nico to everything Pikmin 2 had to offer! I hope we get more stream highlight videos in the future like Megaman Battle Network 2! Get well soon Nico and I hope you have a quick and smooth recovery!
So... I've never played a Pikmin game myself! But doing this vid and just seeing the evilness that this "seemingly innocent" game exudes... I might have to add this series to my backlog! 🤔
You know...I never realized your Komeda voice sounded near identical to Muscle Man from Regular Show......YOU KNOW WHO ELSE SOUNDS LIKE MUSCLE MAN?!? MY MOM!
This summarizes how I & others went through playing this game that I haven't beat but I still plan to beat it some day Also at 3:32 THERE I AM GARY! THERE I AM!
See they lure you in with some fairly easy bosses then they make you go into what some people call water hell because everything is water and you can’t deal with any of the other elements unless you multi pikmen as I like to call them to do anything
Yeah Pikmin 2 is definitely in an interesting spot in the series, I feel like its a hardcore pikmin gamer's dream while the casual audience might have less fun dealing with the difficulty. Probably the most divisive game in the series I would say. I would say if you didn't enjoy Pikmin 2, that it should not deter you from pikmin 3 though as Pikmin 3 introduces a lot of quality of life from the first 2, and its difficulty is much more tame, less instant kill rocks and bombs dropping on your head and such.
as much as I love 2, yeah it is evil at times, especially during end game. hope this doesn't dissuade you from 3 and 4, they're no where near as frustrating as 2's end game can be
This is just a compilation of the funny horror moments, it is not representative of his opinion of the entire game, which was very positive. He really liked this game despite those janky moments, and he said that he will surely check out the next ones at some point. Plenty of people also told him on stream that the overly sadistic caves are only a thing in this game, too. No need to worry.
Nintendo is fucked up.
Always have been.
Always can be.
Always has been
Yah that tracks...
Troll frog 🐸
This highlight video showcases one of the core appeals of Nico’s channel to me. Because he grew up mostly without Nintendo games, he has _ZERO_ clue or context as to why they’re so memorable, or in some cases, traumatizing
We all remember Nico’s brain imploding upon seeing the Kirby lore for the first time. That was glorious.

@@JJ_Ralso: never forget the Chucksters
We all remember Nico's innocent mind when the comments told him to hit the cucoos for a good item.😂
Often cases BOTH
Keep in mind that Nico attempted the Submerged Castle at the very end of one of the livestreams, after all the other Perplexing Pool dungeons, and at roughly 3AM in the morning. _Blind_ . His pain is delicious, and his victory is well earned
Watching that stream was something akin to war flashbacks.
I love how you know Nico’s already partially aware of Pikmin’s horrors when he yells at a Wollywog
Nico has now found out only the beginning of Louie's evils... Yes, there are more... A LOT FUCKING MORE
Louie truly is one of Grandaddy Nintendo's most evil villains
This game isn't so bad once the stockholm syndrome kicks in.
The amount of actual pain equivilent to hangnails Submerged Castle brought to Nico would never be unmatched
GameCube games have traumatizing moments in them.
3:35 Kudos to Brunty023 for giving the Water Wraith the build-up it deserves!
7:43 Fear turns to confidence.
7:54 Confidence turns to righteous rage.
8:09 Righteous rage turns to goofy rage.
It wasn't Sai who edited this video. It was Brunty023, according to the description.
@@GestridThank you. Edited accordingly.
@@Gestridhe’s editing his comment as he watches the video. Only the first time stamp was there when I first saw it.
How I feel when irredeemable people get what they deserve.
@@JJ_R No problem!
6:35 this is the only time I've seen Nico contemplating existence apart from the one Corpse Party game he despised. And there were so many soulcrushing games inbetween. Shouldn't this be a kids game 😂
Not even the KH3 data battles did that!
Hope you get better soon, Nico. The SSLP is docked and ready for its captain’s return 🫡
Something happen?
@@PJSam1998 Nothing terrible, Nico's just ill at the moment, you can see the post about it on the community page.
@DRAG0NSPIRIT10 ah, well I hope he gets a speedy recovery
RIP to all the Picky Pikmin that died to give us some good content.
Seeing that Pikmin Extinction in the Submerged Castle live was something truly special.
Is that VOD still on Twitch?
5:56
I hadn’t seen the livestream but that’s some MAJOR bull right there lol. That was TEN BOMB ROCK RELATED DROPS IN THAT ONE AREA. Nico’s luck can always work in his favor. But sometimes it makes Nico want to suffer as well.
The JSR sound effects were too perfect, I couldn't stop laughing!
2:35 Nico is feeling like a purple pikmin. Because he’s dead inside
Pikmin is not a multitasking strategy
*Pikmin is a survival horror*
Louie is on level of evil of his own.
I remembered binging the VODs for pikmin 2 on twitch, it was glorious. Hope the VODs for Pikmin 1 and 2 get uploaded soon!
Might check them out with how many people seemed to enjoy then
The Pikmin 2 streams were so fun and seeing a highlight video like this is a great reminder of them.
Yup, This is why the memes says Pikmin is secretly a psychological horror game.
Also, THANK U BRUNTY FOR EDITING THIS!!! Your style is so funny
As someone whose only exposure to Pikmin was the Pikmin 3 demo (which I didn't really like), this is absolutely hilarious!

All for the best. So he doesn’t forge a bond with Louie.
Notification: Pikmin 2 is an evil game
Me: Waterwraith?
Thumbnail: Waterwraith.
And now...Nico knows true despair...puhuhuhu...
I also loved how partway through he partially focused on using the captains to meatshield the pikmin and instead decimate the wildlife with their bare fists. President Shachou doesn’t PLAY SON
You wanna know who's evil?
*Louie*
Yeah, Pikimin 2 was Pikimin going through it's angry phase.
Brunty really captured the essence of these streams in this edit. Amazing work my dude!
"And I've heard a lot of people say this is their personal favorite."
That's called Stockholm Syndrom.
Whoever edited the moment at 5:52 is amazing. It’s been a long time since I wheezed that hard.
Oh yes it is. There's a reason Pigman embodies both the phrase is beautiful and brutal
Nico: Why do you hate me? What did i ever do to you?
Pikmin 2: YOU WERE BORN
Also for 1:24, I was always here, lol
I think "The very concept of you exists" is more fitting for Pikmin 2's feelings.
The drums caught me off guard at the start and my brain went "RAYMAN MUSIC?!"
Ah... Water Wraith... we know we're in for an unforgettable montage when Brunty is editing. 😁
I know for a fact I'm gonna lose my breath from laughing. 🤣
Edit: 2 minutes in and I've indeed have.
Now all he has to do is play pikmin 3 and 4! 😌
I’m so happy we got a raw reaction from Nico to everything Pikmin 2 had to offer! I hope we get more stream highlight videos in the future like Megaman Battle Network 2! Get well soon Nico and I hope you have a quick and smooth recovery!
3:35 Look Gary, there I am!(Ninjastarfy)
These shorter videos with more editing are always really funny. Keep it up, Nico and Sai!
Sai didn't edit this (check the description).
@@PDRUV and end credits!
Well, that was a lot of PAIN I Witness all at once.... you got to stop getting into these situations, Nico?
I really hope you upload the full streams of this game someday. They are no longer viewable on Twitch sadly
Nico saves all his streams in the twitch highlights so both playthroughs should still be there
@@paladinloyaltrue, but sometimes I feel like the youtube video player is easier to handle than twitch.
@@ladyholiday3863 honestly I couldn't find whatever stream he finished the game in, for the longest time I wasn't even sure he finished it
Would live to see more videos like this lmao😂
Also please upload more of your past streams 🥺
Yippee! Nico’s scarred for life! :3
Word of note, NEVER try fighting two orange bulborbs at the same time, ESPECIALLY IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANY PURPLES IN YOUR SQUAD!
Does the heart good to see a water wraith get wrecked.
Ya know the funny things was that their were enough troll moments in the games that Nico could probably make a sequel to this if he wanted.
The editing is crazy good! Never played a Pikmin game, but this game looks like hell. Nico looks like he barely made through this game alive.
So...
I've never played a Pikmin game myself!
But doing this vid and just seeing the evilness that this "seemingly innocent" game exudes...
I might have to add this series to my backlog! 🤔
After seeing this, I’m that much more eager for him to reach Pikmin 4
The Pikmin series is brutal, at least Kirby, with its occasionally strict completion criteria, is x10 cuter.
Louie is the hidden evil.
Someday I want to draw Nico-as-Olimar-as-that One Syndrome meme from the incredibles going “You DENSE motherfuckers” at all the pikmin
0:31 every persona game has time limit
Thank God I play these games on Dolphin. I couldn't beat the Submerged Castle with my sanity intact without save states.
Nico? You ARE THE MEMES!!!!...
Of Metal Gear Revengeance.😂
You know...I never realized your Komeda voice sounded near identical to Muscle Man from Regular Show......YOU KNOW WHO ELSE SOUNDS LIKE MUSCLE MAN?!?
MY MOM!
Nico playing pikmin is something i never expected but never knew i needed HAHAHAHAHAA
😂 Welcome to Pikmin. It's a good thing you didn't get the bad ending.
Yes. Yes it is.
Edit: 8:52 - Lawl, this nerd. :P
At this point, I’m expecting a NicoB Dance Compilation.
@@JJ_R just started rewatching Luigi's Mansion stream that started with the epic Luigi Dance jumpscare lol
Now to get ready to play Pikmin 3
please do more stream highlights!!!! these are awesome ways to get more nico bizzle time
Is there a place we can find the vods for these? If they exist?
Also yeah, this game is a blast. A really hard blast.
Nico's twitch channel
Nico saves all his Twitch streams as Highlights on his Twitch channel, so you should be able to find them there.
Louie can never be forgiven.
what painful is the more you lose the more you see its Olimar is clown or Louie is clown
Funny that you upload this right as I’m finishing Pikmin 2
Nico's reaction to Louies dark secret is fucking amazing lmao
please make a vod channel for the love of a penguin on a pikpik carrot i wanna watch the whole thing
I don't think any pikmin game actively tries to get you like 2 does.
this is why we need a Nico pain emote
The way this man does his victory dance... I could fall in love with him ;u;
This summarizes how I & others went through playing this game that I haven't beat but I still plan to beat it some day
Also at 3:32 THERE I AM GARY! THERE I AM!
I’m so happy to see twitch streams back that isn’t a Nintendo showcase. I missed them so much since I do not like twitch.
i have zero idea what this game is about but i'm loving Nico's reactions.
huh. i commented this 9 months ago. well now i'm currently playing pikmin bloom, so this is a nice look back.
We always try to warn them, and yet they never believe us until it’s too late…
9:47 Hey look, it’s me!
If anyone is wondering why Pikmin 4 made caves fixed areas, the constant rockbombs and wollywogs falling from the sky are a good argument for why.
Ah yes Louie: a menace to society
Pikmin 2 blows the 1st and 3rd completely out of the water.
See they lure you in with some fairly easy bosses then they make you go into what some people call water hell because everything is water and you can’t deal with any of the other elements unless you multi pikmen as I like to call them to do anything
Also kinda wished he showed the final boss which is a really cool one
NicoB playing Pikmin he is so goated
a 13 minute video is surprising! Refreshing too!
These streams were delightful
Hoping that someday you come back for Pikmin 3! That game and Pikmin 4 I hear are significantly less soul-crushing than Pikmin 2
Pikmin 2 is truly the Dark Souls of Strategy games
Are the streams archived anywhere? I’d love to watch them
They are on his Twitch channel. He saves his vods as "highlights" so they don't get deleted.
@@PDRUV found them, thanks :)
I love this game and the pain it inflicts on newcomers
I read olimar is down as olimar is clown

The title is an accurate description of the game
Sad day for all 4 of us ROB fans.
U watch chuggaacorny play this game and he did talk about that damn water wrath
thank you @Brunty023 , thank you Leon_Tekashi, and thank you Nico!
I needed this laugh today considering I live in a warzone now.
praying that you stay safe ❤
@@ladyholiday3863 thnx!
How come he does not upload these to youtube anymore?
Yeah that seems normal
This is really cool! I wonder how he'll think of Pikmin 3 and 4?
RIP Rob
That is an understatement ._.
7:42 BLEED…
no deathmark today? :(
He’s unfortunately sick, and his throat is messed up, so he wasn’t able to record
I'm not huge on watching streams but I'd love to see these Pikmin 2 ones. Are these uploaded to TH-cam or is there somewhere else i can watch the VOD?
Damn, Purplecide made him delete the game like his name was AfroSenju😂😂😂
as much as I love 2, yeah it is evil at times, especially during end game. hope this doesn't dissuade you from 3 and 4, they're no where near as frustrating as 2's end game can be
