For those that don’t know, arlo tweeted that he is having some incapacitating neck problems resulting from his surgery. He did specifically say this might affect his ability to both make videos and play Pikmin 4. Here’s to a speedy recovery, Arlo. We love you. ❤❤
Arlo, I know you won't be able to make videos for a while because of your surgery complication, but I want you to know I'm going back and watching all your old videos I missed and playing Pikmin 4 in your honor. Hope you get your health issues sorted sooner rather than later, and thanks for helping me and a whole lot of other people share a love for Nintendo games!
I first discovered the pikmin series though the videos you made about 3 deluxe back in 2020. Your enthusiasm about the series convinced me to pick up the game, and after my first play through I instantly fell in love. About half a year later I got my hands on a copy of the wii controls version of Pikmin 2 and spent my entire winter break playing the game, I can now say with confidence that Pikmin 2 is by far my favourite video game. I was also able to bond with my little brother through the Pikmin games. I introduced him to the games and he soon became as big of a fan as I am. Lastly, when Nintendo announced the Pikmin 1 and 2 ports to the switch I instantly bought 1 and played through the game and loved every second of it. Tomorrow I will be picking up my preordered copy of Pikmin 4 and playing it with my little brother. I know the likelihood of you reading this comment is low, but I want to sincerely thank you Arlo, for introducing me to a series that has brought me so much joy in these few last years. Your love for Pikmin is truly contagious and I hope you have a wonderful time playing Pikmin 4 for yourself.
Mutual feeling about the enthusiasm from Arlo & others regarding Pikmin 4 being announced all the way up to approaching release that got me interested in trying this one. I never tried the other Pikmin games & only vaguely acknowledged them when I was younger, but I have played some of Pikmin 4 and it's been great fun! A nice chill title to seperate myself from the usual action games I have been playing. I've not done much on Pikmin 4 for a lil while now, but will be sure to continue playing soon! I transferred data from the demo to the full game when it came out & got to the zone after the demo location, so still got plenty to get through yet. Also an extra note I'd like to add is that I was very impressed with the quality of the demo itself, the first time in many years I have tried a demo. I must have got a few hours of value out of it, which is how I feel a demo should be done; enough content to get you hooked & felt like you had the freedom to go on playing it indefinitely, without giving away too much of what the full game would have to offer.
The 2000s were really just an insane time for videogames. So much cool and innovative stuff came out during that time in such a short time span. It felt like developers were perfecting 3d games just likey the did for 2d back on the snes and sega genesis. so cool.
It was the flashpoint right before HD made development prohibitively expensive and killed off niche titles. Look at how many of Nintendo's obscure series had swansongs on Gamecube.
@@KruelAidManfor once someone gives the actual reason why gaming has become such a high risk business. A lot of companies just can't afford anymore to make niche games with how expensive HD games are to make
There was honestly a time when i wondered whether or not pikmin 3 would come out during my Lifetime. Luckily that time has passed and now pikmin 4 is here which feels kinda like a fever dream in a way.
@@cosmic_drewhow could this be recorded pre surgery? In this video he addressed people being concerned about him in the Mario kart booster course video where he just came out of it.
I gotta say that for me, Arlo’s infectious enthusiasm for this series is what made me pick up Pikmin 3 Deluxe in the first place, and I am also going to be enjoying this moment with you!
Hey Arlo! This isn't related to the video, but I just wanna say I *LOVE* your voice acting in the new My Friendly Neighborhood game! Your voice fits the character perfectly! I usually comment this kind of unrelated thing under community posts, but you haven't made one in eight months so this is the only place I can really mention it :)
i’m so glad i finally played pikmin 2 for myself because i was able to find out first hand that the schaffrillas video was entirely wrong love this game
@@trash-lol Most people who slate 2 only slate it because they're not a fan of the dungeons but it's more of a case of git gud as it's meant to be hard.
@@universesixhit642No is because 2 lacks difficult fun muti tasking gameplay. Every game after 1 holds your hand. Pikmin 2 is a easy joke. Only people who don't care to check everywhere first before grabbing their Pikmin think the caves are unfair
@@Wario1382 Tbf it's only easy mode if you use purple pikmin and the sprays. Try not using purple pikmin for fights nor using any sprays you'll actually have to think about fights and boss battles more.
I was going to wait for the Pikmin 1 + 2 physical release to start my Pikmin journey, but after listening to your hour-long discussion I don't think I can wait that long. The story seems really intriguing and the fact that the game's super newcomer-friendly is great! I'll be grabbing my copy tomorrow and jumping in! I wish you a speedy recovery from your surgery!
An old rich woman dying compared to an event where everyone' s lives drastically changed and millions of people dead and hundreds of thousands left with sickness....get the emotional impact for a lot of you English ( result of the bootlicking of the people you all pay for) but the queen dying is nothing but background noise..
Gosh, I’m so so incredibly happy for you, and everyone else in this wonderful fandom. I mean, we’ve perspired through SO MUCH PAIN waiting for this silly game, but now it’s here and all is right with the world! Woopee!
Just finished the main story mission in pikmin 4. My first ever pikmin game, got it mostly because of arlos insane fan levels and how he gushes over this series so much, I thought to myself "well now seems like the perfect time to jump in". And it certainly was, pikmin 4 is a great game. No buts or ifs. Do not know how it compares to the previous ones but on it's own I think it's great. If you haven't played it yet, go do that right now. Trust me.
I am so happy, the wait was so so long that I can't even believe that it's here at all... the time couldn't be more perfect for it to stand on its own and let people finally see the little series that could get up and display itself proudly
When I was like 6 I went to a library and rented a copy of 3, I was in love, even thought I never could get farther then getting rocks before running out of juice, I was hooked. I told myself when i grew up I would play the next one and I can finally do it like 9 or so years later. I hope everyone loves this game and the series becomes a Nintendo staple
Your love of Pikmin is contagious. It inspired me to pick up the series for the first time with 3 deluxe and now I’ve beaten 1 and am halfway through 2. I’m loving it and beyond hyped for Pikmin 4!!
Originally I couldnt care less about Pikmin in the directs, but I saw your reaction to the Pikmin 4 trailer and just had to look deeper. The demo came out and I must have put 10 hours into it within 3 days. Honestly went from dismissive to loving this series in a week. The fan base seems so wholesome (especially arlo) and I'm just so exited to play this new game the minute it releases.
Saw your latest tweets about your health a while ago. The fact that you're going through such health problems when pikmin 4 is finally coming out can only be called fate, I guess. Good luck to you arlo, and thank you for all the videos!
I first go interested in Pikmin thanks to your videos! I played 3 deluxe earlier this year and ever since I’ve been absolutely obsessed. It’s one of my favorite video game series period! Hope you feel better soon.
I am genuinely upset at myself for never playing pikmin as a kid. I played and beaten 3 Deluxe recently and absolutely adored it. I've always thought Pikmin was boring but I unexpectedly loved it and I'm unbelievably excited to play Pikmin 4!
when i started pikmin, i saw the trailer for the first game on the luigis mansion disk, i was just, floored by what i saw, it was so different and unique, my family proceeded to rent pikmin one to see if id like it, and then got pikmin 2 for me, i waited for pikmin 3 basically from day one of the wii coming out. and then 3 came out, in the time 3 came out, i went from kindergarten to middle school, i started playing online fps and RTS games like warcraft. so many life events happened in the span of 3s release, i remember waiting for this game and having family members who were waiting with me literally die in the time of the wait. it was upsetting but i think it really kinda shows why the wait and lack of any content for us stings, and why other communities getting frustrated for not getting updates or news sucks. in the wait for pikmin 4, i graduated highschool, i got a job, i met my fiance, i met and lost so many people, and now this new game is here. i think the moral of the story here is to keep living your life while you wait and enjoy what you have? i mean being a fan of half life and pikmin have taught me that.
As someone who had never even heard of pikmin before i found Arlo, i am thankful to say that i will be playing pikmin 4 in 20 minutes and could not be happier about it.
For me it's a awesome addition to my collection of switch games I have played it everyday so far since launch. It's that good I would Def play it just to hear the pikmin sing tunes rarely sometimes.
My girlfriend got me into Pikmin about two months ago on a trip to a country I've to never been before. I went from being afraid of Pikmin 1 to utterly engrossed and immersed in its natural world and mysterious, otherworldly vibes. Visiting a new place was scary, but immensely comforting all the same. It felt like the first time I had confronted that emotion in years, and I fell in love with it. Pikmin has been so incredibly special to me these last two months, and I'm so happy I'm getting to experience all *4* of these journeys now, all one right after another. Couldn't be happier to see the fourth installment through with you all
When Pikmin 1 and 2 came out i was 11 and 14 respectively loved both and 2 is in my top 20 games of all time. Now lol..... I am 33 with kids and we all love Pikmin 4. Nintendo has always and will always have that magic of bringing families together and bringing you the gamer back to your childhood. Sorry for the rant young blood enjoy your youth, time speeds up as you get older. 😅❤️🎮
Since I have been actively waiting for Pikmin 4 (2014), I: - Graduated high school and college - Moved to different cities a couple of times - Worked multiple part-time and full time jobs outside my career - I became fully independent - Lost several friends and family members along the way - Got engaged about a month prior to the game's final release date. And I, needless to say, replayed the heck out of all previous games because, much like in Arlo's case, they act as a safe place of sorts. I still can't believe we're here...
Thanks Arlo! watching your videos got me to play pikmin 3 deluxe which my little sister bought a while ago because she thought the pikmin were cute, I played it this year co op with my sister, we’re now fans of this awesome game, so my pikmin wait has been like a month, so excited to play the new game!
@@zacharybecker8228Regardless of your opinion on new Zelda, I think they’re referring to sales and growth of popularity for the franchise . And those games sure did both
Weird to see Zelda in there with Kirby and Metroid. Hasn't Zelda always been very popular? I don't feel like it needed the boost or benefited from a boost like Kirby and Metroid. And hopefully Pikmin.
@@zacharybecker8228I'm choosing to believe you're a time traveler who wrote this in reference to Breath of the Wild and Skyway Sword HD, because Tears of the Kingdom was really good.
Your excitement is so wholesome and I just love it. I love these games, even though I'm a newer fan (Pikmin 3 Deluxe was my first encounter). I have now played all of the games since they were ported to the Switch and, though one and two may have about given me a heart attack, I do appreciate the journey that Pikmin has gone through.
Y'know it's the weirdest thing. I don't care about Pikmin at all, but somehow Arlo's excitement over it has me excited about it. I dunno, he's just got that kind of infectious joy to him that I can't help be be happy to see him happy about it.
My girlfriends 8 year old brother is taking the day off from summer camp today to play through Pikmin 4. He told me (while playing through 1 and 2) Pikmin 4 would be his favorite game of all time, right above tears of the kingdom. Most of his other 8 year old friends agree. Our weird little series is definitely growing :)
This is my favorite Pikmin video I’ve watched. It gave me all the warm, fuzzy nostalgia feels of a time long gone while also helping me appreciate Pikmin 4 being here even more (of course, I was listening while playing!) Thank you for this, Arlo. Wonderful stuff.
I just want to say Arlo, you are the reason why I'm a pikmin fan too. It's because of your videos and your love of this franchise that I was convinced to give it a try. My first every into this series was Pikmin 3 Deluxe, and I LOVED IT. I got the Pikmin 2 HD port for the Switch too, my brothers and I had a blast playing versus mode. And now I'm right here with Pikmin 4 in my hands. Thank you so much for introducing me to this wonderful series.
I was always aware about Pikmin's existence as a series and what it was about but never knew a ton about it and wasn't super compelled. However after seeing how dedicated and passionate the Pikmin community was for the series through videos like yours, and seeing how excited people are for Pikmin 4, I decided that I really want to try the series and support it. I'm about to go into Pikmin 4 and I just want to say thank you, Arlo.
For me it has been a long and arduous journey. When Pikmin 3 came out in 2013 I was just 6 years old and had barely played any video games. The only video games I played were Leapster games and my cousins’ Xbox 360 and maybe original Wii. However I got a Wii U for Christmas 2014 when I was 7 with 3D World and Nintendo Land and I knew that I also wanted Captain Toad and Pikmin 3 since I saw ads for both. I got Captain Toad in early 2015 and Pikmin 3 around mid-2015-ish when I was 7/8 and loved both games. I finished the game around 6-10 months later and the first time I 100% the game was when I was around 10 in 2017-ish. Around that time I got the Hey! Pikmin Demo for my 2DS but I never got the full game. That same year I watched all of Chuggaconroy’s videos on Pikmin 1, 2, & 3. I got a Switch in March 2018 with Splatoon 2 and Mario Odyssey and at that point I couldn’t wait for Pikmin 4 to come out for the Switch. I was like is it coming out in 2018? Is it coming out in 2019? Is it coming out in 2020? Is it coming out in 2021? Is it coming out in 2022? During that time I got the Wii version of Pikmin 1 on the Wii U eShop. When Pikmin 3 Deluxe came out in 2020 I was 13 and it reignited my hope for the series. I don’t usually buy Wii U ports but this is pretty much the only one I got because I really wanted to see Pikmin 4 happen, so I got 3 Deluxe in mid-2021-ish when I was 13/14. I got Pikmin Bloom shortly after. By the time Pikmin 4 was announced in the September 2022 Direct I was 15 and already in High School but I knew the wait was worth it. I got the Wii version of Pikmin 2 on the Wii U eShop in late 2022/early 2023 right before it was about to close. I then got the Switch versions of Pikmin 1+2 for my 16th birthday a couple weeks ago just to support the series even more and pre-ordered Pikmin 4 and here we are only a day after it’s release. The exit to this masterpiece on this 10-year-highway is finally here!
My girlfriend and I just recently started the series with the release of Pikmin 1+2. We've loved em both so far, hard to even pick a favorite. We're finishing up 2 this weekend with Submerged Castle as a fill-in for a final boss, and then moving on to pikmin 4 next time we see each other. In the span of like 2 weeks we've both become endlessly obsessed. One of the biggest things holding us back from even playing more is that we're so in love with the stupid little dwarf bulborbs and how strange they are that we're making little ones out of clay together. I've also been playing Pikmin Bloom for about 2 weeks now and it's already made a big impact on my health, I'm losing weight, walking more, and just enjoying life more. Pikmin has literally changed my life in 2 weeks. Even if just small things like losing a few pounds cuz of pikmin 2 so I can fit into crop tops better, or influencing my art. All these little changes mean a lot as a whole, and it's awesome knowing that even after Pikmin 4, we can play through 3 Deluxe along with all the bonus content, and even try out bingo and dandori battle modes! There's so much to love as a new pikmin fan right now. It's awesome!
Pikmin 3 came out when I was in middle school. Now, I’m going to college.😅 This franchise has always been close to my heart, and I can’t wait to play this new installment. This night’s gonna take foreverrrr
I had a similar experience to you where I played Pikmin 3 a few years ago and really enjoyed it but this year I played the whole series and found it to really resonate with me at this point in my life and now think of it as one of my favorite things ever. I feel a little guilty I haven't waited the same ten years as some other Pikmin fans, but I'm so glad to be a part of this community and witness new Pikmin history
Been playing this series since the beginning but i don't wait for sequels anymore. I just wait until i see it then but it right away. 4 was great but felt a little easy. Didn't know 1 and 2 were ported so now I'll be looking for those asap
The irony is I just went on like a near 2 week long binge of pretty much every video you made from the Paper Mario review to the recent Direct Discussion. So when this video came out I knew I planned perfectly and I did not disappoint. I hope you can finally melt into your chair and play the game you've dreamed of for so long. You deserve with how many times you predicted or discussed it these last few years. :)
Glad you are feeling better post surgery Arlo! Hope you get to relax after all the craziness with Pikmin 4 cause you deserve it after all that craziness
Hey I just want to say thank you for your channel. We all love you!! I’m gonna play through all 4 Pikmins and it’s 100% because of all the coverage you have done for the pikmin series.
I remember when I was 4 or 5, playing pikmin 2 on the Wii for the first time and just falling in love with the series. A few years later, I got the pikmin 3 demo on the Wii but I wasn’t able to play it. Then out of the blue, my dad bought it for me. I have just sunk so much time into that game. I’ve always wanted to play the first pikmin but it just wasn’t available. Now, I have pikmin 4 and the first pikmin nearly in my grasp. I just can’t wait!
i have never once played a pikmin game myself but discovering your videos, seeing the excitement of you and your audience, along with watching how hyped my pikmin loving friends have been, makes me so so happy! i hope this game is everything y'all have ever wanted and more!! i'm sure i'll find the time to try it for myself someday ^_^
I just bought pikmin 1 and 2 because your love for the series made me curious. I can absolutely say that I am loving it, I will be buying 3 and playing 4!! Thank you Arlo!!
Just want to point out that this video is 20 minutes and 13 seconds long, the release year of Pikmin 3. Dunno, just thought that was neat. Also, cool video Arlo! You were probably one of the first people I thought of when Pikmin 4 first got revealed, and it’s a joy to hear you reflect on the series. I personally got into Pikmin via Chuggaaconroy’s let’s play of Pikmin 3 and have been doing deathless runs ever since. Been a blast so far and I can’t wait to see how 4 expands this lovely series!
glad you're feeling a little better arlo! or at least it sounds like you are. i'm super excited for pikmin 4! when i was a kid, i always had a fascination with how ants would collect and store food. i just always thought it was kinda satisfying. your videos introduced me to pikmin, which brought back that childlike fascination, but i didn't have a gamecube, functioning wii, or a wii u, so it never went anywhere. but then they released pikmin 3 deluxe. only at that point, i was playing other games, and that interest had faded. then, pikmin 4. i played the demo, and it instantly clicked. ended up replaying it to get 100%, then bought the pikmin 1+2 bundle. finished 1, and almost done with 2. super excited to pick up 4 on launch! maybe i'll go back to 3 after. thanks for introducing me to a new favorite series i could've easily missed out on!
The wait for pikmin 4 was the decade i was growing up, Going from a naive 12 year old to a sadly, Rather jaded 22 year old has been such a long journey but i am incredibly grateful to have this nugget of just pure warm and fuzzy feelings that i have missed dearly. I watched this video while my switch was updating for 4, And now it is time to play. Thanks for making the wait easier Arlo
5:04 the phrase to explain is "too much of a good thing..." Granted 10 years is a long time but imagine if there were a Pikmin every 2 years. It risks getting washed out and oversaturated like pokemon. Pikmin fans (no doubt) are on cloud 9 right now because of how rare new releases are and would not have been if this game was say Pikmin 7 or 8.
I watched a lets play of pikmin 1 on TH-cam, and then bought 3 on Wii U. I’ve had so much fun on pikmin 3 and deluxe I saved olimar in pikmin 4 in just 1 real life day after the game came out. It probably wound have took a week if it wasn’t summer rn.
Pikmin may not be quite my thing from what I've seen, but my nephew has made his excitement for the game very clear to me recently. Told me he used to binge watch ChuggaConroy's playthroughs of the first two games religiously, and he really enjoyed 3DX when that came out, so I'm really happy for him now that 4 is out too.
i picked up my preorder a few hours ago and i've got 5 more hours of this shift till i can go home and play it!! thank you arlo (and everyone) for sharing the hype with us for the past few months (and for the last decade)!!
Arlo i hope you get better soon and have a fun time with pikmin 4 my friend. i cant wait to watch more pikmin 4 from you and see how much fun you get to have. the wait is almost over.
Never owned a Pikmin game, but have followed Arlo's love for it for the last few years. Something tells me 4 is about to send me down a new fandom hole. Glad to hear you're feeling better, Arlo.
Arlo is THE reason I bought this game. I am absolutely loving it, and I'm a bit sad that I had not experienced this series before. Thank you, Arlo for giving me the gift of Pikman 4! May you have a smooth and speedy recovery. 🙏🏻
To be honest, as a Metroid Fanatic I am greatly pleased to see pikmin fans' waiting pay off. It makes me more excited for Metroid Prime 4, also I might try getting into pikmin!
Another amazing Arlo video! I'm excited to finally be able to play all the pikmin games! I got lucky in the fact that I'm got into pikmin through your videos so I didn't have to wait so long for these games 😅 I hope you feel better soon! And Congrats on voicing Ricky in My Friendly Neighbourhood, I loved the job you did and think it was great!
Pikmin 2 is the game that got me into the series. I was obsessed with it when I was young. Pikmin 3 came out around when I graduated high school.. and now here we are with Pikmin 4. I graduated COLLEGE and went through a few jobs in the time period of waiting for Pikmin 4. Now it’s just.. here. It exists and we are going to be playing it. It feels surreal, but I’m so happy that it is finally here.
Pikmin 1 was my first video game I ever played and now just finishing pikmin 4. No matter how much time passes stay true to the things you loved as a kid.
I remember going to Toys R Us with my folks after Pikmin 2 came out, and wanted tiny life-sized plastic figures of Pikmin to play with and got upset that they weren't a real toy. qwq
Remember when Duke Nukem Forever (Did Not Finish) was a massive meme because it took 13 years to release? It's already been almost 13 years since Skyrim, and we may not even be looking at a release date for its sequel *this decade.* The development cycle for games is getting longer and longer every generation. Nobody shrugs at a 13-year gap between sequels anymore. What I'm saying is enjoy Pikmin 4, because there are children being born today who will be able to vote before Pikmin 5 gets a release date.
it's absolutely bonkers to me to think of how long it's been, i remember playing pikmin 1 in first grade in elementary school and i just graduated from college a few months ago, ive never been this amped up for a game coming out before, like, literally ever, hopefully im not a senior citizen by the time the next game comes out
It’s crazy to think about just how long this wait has been. I got super into Pikmin about a year after Pikmin 3 came out, and between then and now, the entire Splatoon franchise was invented and given 3 mainline titles, Breathe of the Wild was released AND it’s sequel, and the Wii, Wii-U and 3DS Eshops have been shut down. The wait has been insane, but honestly it’s made the announcement and release of 4 one of my most memorable gaming experiences, and I haven’t even played it yet!
I remember when I was younger thinking about how cool a Night Pikmin would be, and now it's official
That's how I felt about 3d kirby plays 64 and air ride

The fact many fans were still children when the wait started and some of them now have kids of their own is pretty insane.
Literally my story
Indeed
Yup! I was in the twilight years of high school when 3 came out… I’m now 27 with a 3 year old!
Me and Baldur's Gate 3 in a nutshell 😆
It’s been ten long years and now we will have the game in less than 24 hours!
it comes out in around 1 or 2 hours, its very exciting :D
@@Tafp.12 hours for me cuz timezones
For me there’s only 30 more minutes

Haven't felt vibes like this since Arlo watched the sky before the Launch of the Switch, this is such a magical moment
As they say, "Good things come to those who wait." If that's the case, then I know _Pikmin 4_ will be phenomenal, and I can't wait.

I wish the best for Arlo also but he mentioned on twitter that the recovery was going to be long and he wouldn't be able to record videos for a while.
Hope he gets better soon!
@@cosmic_drewhow could this be recorded pre surgery? In this video he addressed people being concerned about him in the Mario kart booster course video where he just came out of it.
Welp... he just made a pretty unfortunate tweet just hours ago.
@@shigerumiyamoto9612 What did he Tweet?
I gotta say that for me, Arlo’s infectious enthusiasm for this series is what made me pick up Pikmin 3 Deluxe in the first place, and I am also going to be enjoying this moment with you!
Hey Arlo! This isn't related to the video, but I just wanna say I *LOVE* your voice acting in the new My Friendly Neighborhood game! Your voice fits the character perfectly! I usually comment this kind of unrelated thing under community posts, but you haven't made one in eight months so this is the only place I can really mention it :)
It's kind of insane he doesn't seem to have a video on it. He just casually dropped some stellar voice work for a game and went on with his day.
I thought that was his voice Ricky really brought the whole game to life
Pikmin 1 on switch made me a fan I can’t believe I was missing out on such a great franchise!
Amazing series I'm glad you finally got around to it 😃
i’m so glad i finally played pikmin 2 for myself because i was able to find out first hand that the schaffrillas video was entirely wrong
love this game
@@trash-lol Most people who slate 2 only slate it because they're not a fan of the dungeons but it's more of a case of git gud as it's meant to be hard.
@@universesixhit642No is because 2 lacks difficult fun muti tasking gameplay. Every game after 1 holds your hand. Pikmin 2 is a easy joke. Only people who don't care to check everywhere first before grabbing their Pikmin think the caves are unfair
@@Wario1382 Tbf it's only easy mode if you use purple pikmin and the sprays.
Try not using purple pikmin for fights nor using any sprays you'll actually have to think about fights and boss battles more.
I hope it doesn't take another 10 years for Pikmin 5 but either way, I am glad Pikmin 4 is actually releasing after such a long wait.
It won't take 10 years, I'll take 11 based on the trends we've seen
@@coluixno. After being number 1 seller they're gonna look at pikmin much more seriously rather than just a side passion project
@@Subreonwhat are the sales of Pikmin 4?
@@coluix Wow
@@coluix 2 points form a line not a pattern.
Hearing the absolute joy in arlo’s voice during this video made the whole wait worth it. Enjoy pikmin 4 to your heart’s content and beyond, man.
I was going to wait for the Pikmin 1 + 2 physical release to start my Pikmin journey, but after listening to your hour-long discussion I don't think I can wait that long. The story seems really intriguing and the fact that the game's super newcomer-friendly is great! I'll be grabbing my copy tomorrow and jumping in! I wish you a speedy recovery from your surgery!
What’s crazy for me isn’t really the wait necessarily, but the fact that 2013 was 10 years ago…
As a new pikmin fan, I love seeing a long-time fan like Arlo get so excited over having new fans of a game he loves 👍
To think that within the past ten years of waiting, we survived a Pandemic, the Queen of London passing away, and Hey! Pikmin...
I forgot that Hey! Pikmin even existed.
I'm not sure I'd group the queen in with life shattering events like COVID and Hey Pikmin 🤪
@@mjc0961 Hey Pikmin was way better than COVID.
An old rich woman dying compared to an event where everyone' s lives drastically changed and millions of people dead and hundreds of thousands left with sickness....get the emotional impact for a lot of you English ( result of the bootlicking of the people you all pay for) but the queen dying is nothing but background noise..
"Queen of London"
Gosh, I’m so so incredibly happy for you, and everyone else in this wonderful fandom. I mean, we’ve perspired through SO MUCH PAIN waiting for this silly game, but now it’s here and all is right with the world! Woopee!
Just finished the main story mission in pikmin 4. My first ever pikmin game, got it mostly because of arlos insane fan levels and how he gushes over this series so much, I thought to myself "well now seems like the perfect time to jump in". And it certainly was, pikmin 4 is a great game. No buts or ifs. Do not know how it compares to the previous ones but on it's own I think it's great. If you haven't played it yet, go do that right now. Trust me.
I am so happy, the wait was so so long that I can't even believe that it's here at all... the time couldn't be more perfect for it to stand on its own and let people finally see the little series that could get up and display itself proudly
When I was like 6 I went to a library and rented a copy of 3, I was in love, even thought I never could get farther then getting rocks before running out of juice, I was hooked. I told myself when i grew up I would play the next one and I can finally do it like 9 or so years later. I hope everyone loves this game and the series becomes a Nintendo staple
Big thanks to Arlo for reviving my love for Pikmin. Been years since I played it but woke up bright and early and just picked up my copy of Pikmin 4 🥰
Is it worth the buy?
@@universesixhit642 in my opinion, absolutely.
Your love of Pikmin is contagious. It inspired me to pick up the series for the first time with 3 deluxe and now I’ve beaten 1 and am halfway through 2. I’m loving it and beyond hyped for Pikmin 4!!
I like how this video is 20:13 long, since Pikmin 3 came out 10 years ago in 2013.
Originally I couldnt care less about Pikmin in the directs, but I saw your reaction to the Pikmin 4 trailer and just had to look deeper. The demo came out and I must have put 10 hours into it within 3 days. Honestly went from dismissive to loving this series in a week. The fan base seems so wholesome (especially arlo) and I'm just so exited to play this new game the minute it releases.
Saw your latest tweets about your health a while ago. The fact that you're going through such health problems when pikmin 4 is finally coming out can only be called fate, I guess. Good luck to you arlo, and thank you for all the videos!
What kind of health problems?
I first go interested in Pikmin thanks to your videos! I played 3 deluxe earlier this year and ever since I’ve been absolutely obsessed. It’s one of my favorite video game series period! Hope you feel better soon.
I am genuinely upset at myself for never playing pikmin as a kid. I played and beaten 3 Deluxe recently and absolutely adored it. I've always thought Pikmin was boring but I unexpectedly loved it and I'm unbelievably excited to play Pikmin 4!
when i started pikmin, i saw the trailer for the first game on the luigis mansion disk, i was just, floored by what i saw, it was so different and unique, my family proceeded to rent pikmin one to see if id like it, and then got pikmin 2 for me, i waited for pikmin 3 basically from day one of the wii coming out. and then 3 came out, in the time 3 came out, i went from kindergarten to middle school, i started playing online fps and RTS games like warcraft. so many life events happened in the span of 3s release, i remember waiting for this game and having family members who were waiting with me literally die in the time of the wait. it was upsetting but i think it really kinda shows why the wait and lack of any content for us stings, and why other communities getting frustrated for not getting updates or news sucks. in the wait for pikmin 4, i graduated highschool, i got a job, i met my fiance, i met and lost so many people, and now this new game is here.
i think the moral of the story here is to keep living your life while you wait and enjoy what you have? i mean being a fan of half life and pikmin have taught me that.
As someone who had never even heard of pikmin before i found Arlo, i am thankful to say that i will be playing pikmin 4 in 20 minutes and could not be happier about it.
how is the game?
For me it's a awesome addition to my collection of switch games I have played it everyday so far since launch. It's that good I would Def play it just to hear the pikmin sing tunes rarely sometimes.
My girlfriend got me into Pikmin about two months ago on a trip to a country I've to never been before. I went from being afraid of Pikmin 1 to utterly engrossed and immersed in its natural world and mysterious, otherworldly vibes. Visiting a new place was scary, but immensely comforting all the same. It felt like the first time I had confronted that emotion in years, and I fell in love with it.
Pikmin has been so incredibly special to me these last two months, and I'm so happy I'm getting to experience all *4* of these journeys now, all one right after another. Couldn't be happier to see the fourth installment through with you all
When I first played pikmin 3 I was six. Now I’m fifteen and in high school. It’s stayed my favourite series for all this time ❤
When Pikmin 1 and 2 came out i was 11 and 14 respectively loved both and 2 is in my top 20 games of all time. Now lol..... I am 33 with kids and we all love Pikmin 4. Nintendo has always and will always have that magic of bringing families together and bringing you the gamer back to your childhood. Sorry for the rant young blood enjoy your youth, time speeds up as you get older. 😅❤️🎮
Since I have been actively waiting for Pikmin 4 (2014), I:
- Graduated high school and college
- Moved to different cities a couple of times
- Worked multiple part-time and full time jobs outside my career
- I became fully independent
- Lost several friends and family members along the way
- Got engaged about a month prior to the game's final release date.
And I, needless to say, replayed the heck out of all previous games because, much like in Arlo's case, they act as a safe place of sorts.
I still can't believe we're here...
Its been a wild ride this past year. Hope everyone gets and enjoys Pikmin 4!
Thanks Arlo! watching your videos got me to play pikmin 3 deluxe which my little sister bought a while ago because she thought the pikmin were cute, I played it this year co op with my sister, we’re now fans of this awesome game, so my pikmin wait has been like a month, so excited to play the new game!
Lets hope that the Switch works it magic with Pikmin 4 the way it did with Kirby and Zelda and Metroid.
These last 2 zeldas were so disappointing I haven't had a good one to play in a while
@@zacharybecker8228Regardless of your opinion on new Zelda, I think they’re referring to sales and growth of popularity for the franchise . And those games sure did both
@@zacharybecker8228I agree but Pikmin doesn’t seem to have changed that much
Weird to see Zelda in there with Kirby and Metroid. Hasn't Zelda always been very popular? I don't feel like it needed the boost or benefited from a boost like Kirby and Metroid. And hopefully Pikmin.
@@zacharybecker8228I'm choosing to believe you're a time traveler who wrote this in reference to Breath of the Wild and Skyway Sword HD, because Tears of the Kingdom was really good.
Your excitement is so wholesome and I just love it. I love these games, even though I'm a newer fan (Pikmin 3 Deluxe was my first encounter). I have now played all of the games since they were ported to the Switch and, though one and two may have about given me a heart attack, I do appreciate the journey that Pikmin has gone through.
Y'know it's the weirdest thing. I don't care about Pikmin at all, but somehow Arlo's excitement over it has me excited about it. I dunno, he's just got that kind of infectious joy to him that I can't help be be happy to see him happy about it.
That’s understandable
I'm very much the same whenever we get news about Metroid. I love seeing/hearing Arlo get hyped, even though I have zero interest in the series.
My girlfriends 8 year old brother is taking the day off from summer camp today to play through Pikmin 4. He told me (while playing through 1 and 2) Pikmin 4 would be his favorite game of all time, right above tears of the kingdom. Most of his other 8 year old friends agree. Our weird little series is definitely growing :)
It's Pikmas Eve.
We will be celebrating this day for Decades.
This is my favorite Pikmin video I’ve watched. It gave me all the warm, fuzzy nostalgia feels of a time long gone while also helping me appreciate Pikmin 4 being here even more (of course, I was listening while playing!) Thank you for this, Arlo. Wonderful stuff.
After 10 years of development hopefully it will have been worth the wait
Your video about your Metroid journey might be my favorite of all your videos. It's really good to get a follow-up.
Longtime Arlo fans couldn't be more happy for you!!
I've fantasized about this game for so long. Now we have pikmin 4 as well as 1-3 all on one console. What a time to be alive.
man....i'm so happy for you arlo and for the pikmin fans everywhere. it's been a long road but we're here and i couldn't be happier.
I just want to say Arlo, you are the reason why I'm a pikmin fan too. It's because of your videos and your love of this franchise that I was convinced to give it a try. My first every into this series was Pikmin 3 Deluxe, and I LOVED IT. I got the Pikmin 2 HD port for the Switch too, my brothers and I had a blast playing versus mode. And now I'm right here with Pikmin 4 in my hands. Thank you so much for introducing me to this wonderful series.
Arlo (slight dissapointment): Pikmin... its not gonna be the next mario.
Pikmin 4 (beating tears of the kingdom in eshop): I'm not?
Hope you feel better soon Arlo!
Watching this videos as someone who’s not a huge Pikmin fan but has played all the games, this is exactly how I felt just before Totk released
I was always aware about Pikmin's existence as a series and what it was about but never knew a ton about it and wasn't super compelled. However after seeing how dedicated and passionate the Pikmin community was for the series through videos like yours, and seeing how excited people are for Pikmin 4, I decided that I really want to try the series and support it. I'm about to go into Pikmin 4 and I just want to say thank you, Arlo.
Congrats on your stellar acting in the game My friendly Neighborhood Arlo!
You made Ricky really come alive
For me it has been a long and arduous journey. When Pikmin 3 came out in 2013 I was just 6 years old and had barely played any video games. The only video games I played were Leapster games and my cousins’ Xbox 360 and maybe original Wii. However I got a Wii U for Christmas 2014 when I was 7 with 3D World and Nintendo Land and I knew that I also wanted Captain Toad and Pikmin 3 since I saw ads for both. I got Captain Toad in early 2015 and Pikmin 3 around mid-2015-ish when I was 7/8 and loved both games. I finished the game around 6-10 months later and the first time I 100% the game was when I was around 10 in 2017-ish. Around that time I got the Hey! Pikmin Demo for my 2DS but I never got the full game. That same year I watched all of Chuggaconroy’s videos on Pikmin 1, 2, & 3. I got a Switch in March 2018 with Splatoon 2 and Mario Odyssey and at that point I couldn’t wait for Pikmin 4 to come out for the Switch. I was like is it coming out in 2018? Is it coming out in 2019? Is it coming out in 2020? Is it coming out in 2021? Is it coming out in 2022? During that time I got the Wii version of Pikmin 1 on the Wii U eShop. When Pikmin 3 Deluxe came out in 2020 I was 13 and it reignited my hope for the series. I don’t usually buy Wii U ports but this is pretty much the only one I got because I really wanted to see Pikmin 4 happen, so I got 3 Deluxe in mid-2021-ish when I was 13/14. I got Pikmin Bloom shortly after. By the time Pikmin 4 was announced in the September 2022 Direct I was 15 and already in High School but I knew the wait was worth it. I got the Wii version of Pikmin 2 on the Wii U eShop in late 2022/early 2023 right before it was about to close. I then got the Switch versions of Pikmin 1+2 for my 16th birthday a couple weeks ago just to support the series even more and pre-ordered Pikmin 4 and here we are only a day after it’s release. The exit to this masterpiece on this 10-year-highway is finally here!
Arlo is one of the main reasons I even got into Pikmin I can’t wait for pikmin 4
My girlfriend and I just recently started the series with the release of Pikmin 1+2. We've loved em both so far, hard to even pick a favorite. We're finishing up 2 this weekend with Submerged Castle as a fill-in for a final boss, and then moving on to pikmin 4 next time we see each other.
In the span of like 2 weeks we've both become endlessly obsessed. One of the biggest things holding us back from even playing more is that we're so in love with the stupid little dwarf bulborbs and how strange they are that we're making little ones out of clay together.
I've also been playing Pikmin Bloom for about 2 weeks now and it's already made a big impact on my health, I'm losing weight, walking more, and just enjoying life more.
Pikmin has literally changed my life in 2 weeks. Even if just small things like losing a few pounds cuz of pikmin 2 so I can fit into crop tops better, or influencing my art. All these little changes mean a lot as a whole, and it's awesome knowing that even after Pikmin 4, we can play through 3 Deluxe along with all the bonus content, and even try out bingo and dandori battle modes! There's so much to love as a new pikmin fan right now. It's awesome!
Pikmin 3 came out when I was in middle school. Now, I’m going to college.😅 This franchise has always been close to my heart, and I can’t wait to play this new installment. This night’s gonna take foreverrrr
I had a similar experience to you where I played Pikmin 3 a few years ago and really enjoyed it but this year I played the whole series and found it to really resonate with me at this point in my life and now think of it as one of my favorite things ever. I feel a little guilty I haven't waited the same ten years as some other Pikmin fans, but I'm so glad to be a part of this community and witness new Pikmin history
10:27
This feels like a giant flashing arrow sign pointing towards Paper Mario.
Been playing this series since the beginning but i don't wait for sequels anymore. I just wait until i see it then but it right away.
4 was great but felt a little easy. Didn't know 1 and 2 were ported so now I'll be looking for those asap
I had just graduated from being a sophomore and I still remember begging my parents to get me a Wii U just for Pikmin 3. Ahh the memories…
The irony is I just went on like a near 2 week long binge of pretty much every video you made from the Paper Mario review to the recent Direct Discussion. So when this video came out I knew I planned perfectly and I did not disappoint. I hope you can finally melt into your chair and play the game you've dreamed of for so long. You deserve with how many times you predicted or discussed it these last few years. :)
It’s very heartwarming to see fans, old and new, coming together to celebrate the newest addition to this quirky little franchise.
Glad you are feeling better post surgery Arlo! Hope you get to relax after all the craziness with Pikmin 4 cause you deserve it after all that craziness
Hey I just want to say thank you for your channel. We all love you!!
I’m gonna play through all 4 Pikmins and it’s 100% because of all the coverage you have done for the pikmin series.
I remember when I was 4 or 5, playing pikmin 2 on the Wii for the first time and just falling in love with the series. A few years later, I got the pikmin 3 demo on the Wii but I wasn’t able to play it. Then out of the blue, my dad bought it for me. I have just sunk so much time into that game. I’ve always wanted to play the first pikmin but it just wasn’t available. Now, I have pikmin 4 and the first pikmin nearly in my grasp. I just can’t wait!
i have never once played a pikmin game myself but discovering your videos, seeing the excitement of you and your audience, along with watching how hyped my pikmin loving friends have been, makes me so so happy! i hope this game is everything y'all have ever wanted and more!! i'm sure i'll find the time to try it for myself someday ^_^
I just bought pikmin 1 and 2 because your love for the series made me curious. I can absolutely say that I am loving it, I will be buying 3 and playing 4!! Thank you Arlo!!
Just want to point out that this video is 20 minutes and 13 seconds long, the release year of Pikmin 3. Dunno, just thought that was neat.
Also, cool video Arlo! You were probably one of the first people I thought of when Pikmin 4 first got revealed, and it’s a joy to hear you reflect on the series. I personally got into Pikmin via Chuggaaconroy’s let’s play of Pikmin 3 and have been doing deathless runs ever since. Been a blast so far and I can’t wait to see how 4 expands this lovely series!
“Ten years we’ve been rusting, needing so much more than dusting. Needing exercise, a chance to use our skills!”
This Skyward Sword slander hurts me. That game is amazing. 100 percent worth the wait.
glad you're feeling a little better arlo! or at least it sounds like you are. i'm super excited for pikmin 4! when i was a kid, i always had a fascination with how ants would collect and store food. i just always thought it was kinda satisfying. your videos introduced me to pikmin, which brought back that childlike fascination, but i didn't have a gamecube, functioning wii, or a wii u, so it never went anywhere. but then they released pikmin 3 deluxe. only at that point, i was playing other games, and that interest had faded. then, pikmin 4. i played the demo, and it instantly clicked. ended up replaying it to get 100%, then bought the pikmin 1+2 bundle. finished 1, and almost done with 2. super excited to pick up 4 on launch! maybe i'll go back to 3 after. thanks for introducing me to a new favorite series i could've easily missed out on!
The wait for pikmin 4 was the decade i was growing up, Going from a naive 12 year old to a sadly, Rather jaded 22 year old has been such a long journey but i am incredibly grateful to have this nugget of just pure warm and fuzzy feelings that i have missed dearly. I watched this video while my switch was updating for 4, And now it is time to play. Thanks for making the wait easier Arlo
as a pikmin fan for almost as long as arlo, this video made me feel such a bittersweet (but mostly sweet) feeling.
5:04 the phrase to explain is "too much of a good thing..." Granted 10 years is a long time but imagine if there were a Pikmin every 2 years. It risks getting washed out and oversaturated like pokemon. Pikmin fans (no doubt) are on cloud 9 right now because of how rare new releases are and would not have been if this game was say Pikmin 7 or 8.
I watched a lets play of pikmin 1 on TH-cam, and then bought 3 on Wii U. I’ve had so much fun on pikmin 3 and deluxe I saved olimar in pikmin 4 in just 1 real life day after the game came out. It probably wound have took a week if it wasn’t summer rn.
Pikmin may not be quite my thing from what I've seen, but my nephew has made his excitement for the game very clear to me recently. Told me he used to binge watch ChuggaConroy's playthroughs of the first two games religiously, and he really enjoyed 3DX when that came out, so I'm really happy for him now that 4 is out too.
I saw the Tweets earlier this evening and just wanted to stop in and say I'm wishing you a speedy recovery, Arlo! Take care.
Hearing Arlo be so happy and a bit emotional at the end was the best part, ME TOO
Got a survey from nintendo about pikmin 4- I named you as a reason I've already purchased it. You really reminded me of my love for the series.
Welp, we haven’t heard from him in 24 hours. Arlo has died of serotonin overload.
i picked up my preorder a few hours ago and i've got 5 more hours of this shift till i can go home and play it!! thank you arlo (and everyone) for sharing the hype with us for the past few months (and for the last decade)!!
Arlo i hope you get better soon and have a fun time with pikmin 4 my friend. i cant wait to watch more pikmin 4 from you and see how much fun you get to have. the wait is almost over.
Never owned a Pikmin game, but have followed Arlo's love for it for the last few years. Something tells me 4 is about to send me down a new fandom hole. Glad to hear you're feeling better, Arlo.
I literally timed it so this video would finish right as I get to play it. Thanks for helping the anxiety of the last few minutes, Arlo!
Arlo is THE reason I bought this game. I am absolutely loving it, and I'm a bit sad that I had not experienced this series before.
Thank you, Arlo for giving me the gift of Pikman 4!
May you have a smooth and speedy recovery. 🙏🏻
To be honest, as a Metroid Fanatic I am greatly pleased to see pikmin fans' waiting pay off. It makes me more excited for Metroid Prime 4, also I might try getting into pikmin!
Another amazing Arlo video! I'm excited to finally be able to play all the pikmin games! I got lucky in the fact that I'm got into pikmin through your videos so I didn't have to wait so long for these games 😅
I hope you feel better soon! And Congrats on voicing Ricky in My Friendly Neighbourhood, I loved the job you did and think it was great!
Thank you, Arlo, for getting me into Pikmin! I doubt I would have downloaded the demo had it not been for you 🙂
Pikmin 2 is the game that got me into the series. I was obsessed with it when I was young. Pikmin 3 came out around when I graduated high school.. and now here we are with Pikmin 4. I graduated COLLEGE and went through a few jobs in the time period of waiting for Pikmin 4. Now it’s just.. here. It exists and we are going to be playing it. It feels surreal, but I’m so happy that it is finally here.
Pikmin 1 was my first video game I ever played and now just finishing pikmin 4. No matter how much time passes stay true to the things you loved as a kid.
I remember going to Toys R Us with my folks after Pikmin 2 came out, and wanted tiny life-sized plastic figures of Pikmin to play with and got upset that they weren't a real toy. qwq
“They have made changes to series that used to be my absolute favorite before”
Oh man, do I feel that. Got hit hard with the paper Mario there.
Gives me hope for DLC and a future pikmin 5
Remember when Duke Nukem Forever (Did Not Finish) was a massive meme because it took 13 years to release? It's already been almost 13 years since Skyrim, and we may not even be looking at a release date for its sequel *this decade.*
The development cycle for games is getting longer and longer every generation. Nobody shrugs at a 13-year gap between sequels anymore.
What I'm saying is enjoy Pikmin 4, because there are children being born today who will be able to vote before Pikmin 5 gets a release date.
If it gets made
At least you'll get a sequel.
*sits down holding a crowbar wearing an HEV suit and stares into the distance as triage at dawn plays*
it's absolutely bonkers to me to think of how long it's been, i remember playing pikmin 1 in first grade in elementary school and i just graduated from college a few months ago, ive never been this amped up for a game coming out before, like, literally ever, hopefully im not a senior citizen by the time the next game comes out
It’s crazy to think about just how long this wait has been. I got super into Pikmin about a year after Pikmin 3 came out, and between then and now, the entire Splatoon franchise was invented and given 3 mainline titles, Breathe of the Wild was released AND it’s sequel, and the Wii, Wii-U and 3DS Eshops have been shut down. The wait has been insane, but honestly it’s made the announcement and release of 4 one of my most memorable gaming experiences, and I haven’t even played it yet!
Best of luck with your recovery Arlo
